1980 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Coupe 1980 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Coupe I purchased this car from the family of the original owner in the fall of 2011. The original owners were an older couple. They took delivery of the Olds on May 29th, 1980 from Bob Pulte Oldsmobile on Ferguson Road in Cincinnati. The husband passed away in 1994 and his wife lovingly maintained the car for the next 17 years dutifully logging every maintenance observation and repair needed to keep the Royale in good operating order. Ordered with the optional 3.8L V-6 engine, Dark Claret Metallic exterior and Burgundy cloth interior. Not heavily optioned, I did find a set of plain disc wheel covers to go along with the “clean” look of no vinyl top, but both sets are there for you to enjoy. This is a very unique car that has been well cared for. It runs like a top, has lots of acceleration off the line and holds its own on the highway. You can enjoy smooth shifts, none of the gear searching you find with the 307 V8s with decent gas mileage to boot. The Dark Claret Metallic paint is a very nice color, but it does show signs of the early stages of laquer cracking common with GM metallics of that vintage. It is not chalked out and it will hold a shine, but if you look closely at the top surfaces you will see crow’s feet. The left front and right rear bumper fillers are in need of replacement and the AC requires servicing. Other than that it is a really neat and clean vehicle that was always garaged and well maintained. I put new tires on it last fall and have driven it on several hundred mile journeys without a glitch. At 38,500 miles she is ready for the highway! This car is collector-owned and kept in a private, climate-controlled storage building. The car is sold as is/where is with no warranties, express or implied. Please ask all questions before bidding. You are welcome to come inspect the car before bidding (located about 10 minutes from Cincinnati airport). All shipping/transportation charges/expenses shall be borne solely by the buyer (although I will be happy to make the car available to your transporter/shipper, after full payment is received.) I will not disclose the reserve during the auction.
