Well a while back I inherited a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88. Problem was it was sitting on a lot the family owns for 20 years untouched. Well this weekend i decided to rent a UHaul and car transport and finally bring it back. Took 3 days to get it out of where it sat.

The Delmonts a pretty rare car as itself but this one came with the optional 425 V8 (which I intend to swap with the 455)
Day 1 :


The Car when I found it, 4 completely flat and stuck wheels.


interior.


I opened up the hood to take a look at the motor and it seems that some chipmunks turned the engine bay into a hotel:


Day 2 :
4 new tires, 5 bucks a peice, not bad.


A lil midnight towin'



Day 3 :

Towed it down the road by a tow line to the trailer.


Ready to load it up on the car trailer:



towin it up on the trailer:


All loaded up:


4 hours later in front of the house after i power washed the hell out of her:


The thing needs a lot of work but the frames are all fine and almost all of the rust is just surface.
Imma throw up a progress blog soon so ill have a link here right away.

I love resto/rebuild threads. Keep us updated!

Sweet my first car was an 66 olds 98 2dr that I bought from my grandparents. It had the high compression 4bl 425 (I think like 385 hp) it was pretty quick for a huge 20 ft long car.

You're probably going to have a hard time finding parts for it. I could never find anything for mine except from hemmings $$$. My friend had the same problem restoring a 65 starfire that he had. The web is alot bigger now then it was back then (8 years ago) so you might get lucky...

nice ride , it should be alot of fun


looks very similar to the fastback impala's


my dad had a delta 88 (atleast i think thats what it was) it had the 425 and turbo 400 with the switch pitch tq converter , made for a few nice smokey's once i learned how to play with it , car was alot of fun

keep the 425 if its rare
itll be worth more and be better for shows

That front end just screams Olds/Buick. I love seeing old cars, especially ones I am not familiar with. Awesome specimin, keep us updated.
