I have a 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Custom 4 door.

My car runs a 455 cubic inch. 2 barrel. The car has a factory extra

that cost about a $1000.00. The windows don't have center bars, like a convertible windows. Most I heard, people cut the top off and made those convertibles. Family owned since 1970 All the numbers match, but the transmission. The interior is in very great condition, original seats, very Black about 5 unravaling areas, the dash is a dream, new carpet and ceiling. I was offerd $8000.00 for the car. I would not like to sale it, but I need the money the goto Alaska. I know I will never find another car like this one in my life, but I may see it in a car show. If someone buys the car to take the engine, I will not sale it to them. I love my car, and I'll miss her...

Hey is that trani a 350 or 400?

Ahem. Cutting the roof off a hardtop car does not make it a convertible; it just hastens it's journey to its inevitable final resting place in the junkyard, where it's lack of a roof will make it that much easier to be squashed by the car crusher.

And I seriously doubt that ANYONE offered you $8000 for a '70 Delta 88 (a FOUR-door at that) but if they DID, and you did not grab it... then you, sir, are a fool.

I am interested in buying a 1970 delta 88. Does anyone know how many mpg these things get?

I have owned a 1970 Olds. Delta 88 Royal for two years. And I love it. If you are concerned with gas mileage I recommend finding another car. With the 455 Rocket and the stock Quadrajet I am lucky to get 10 to 12 mpg. Also you have to factor in the price of a lead substitute, or you can always rebuild your heads. But as for the car, I feel it is the perfect combination of power and comfort. It is a dream to drive.

10mpg= = man that's good gas mileage to me.

I have owned my 1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Custom, for 6 years now and have driven it as a daily driver. I estimated the mileage to be 20-25 mpg. Yes I know gas is now expensive, but with religious oil changes, filter changes, valve adjustments, and cautious driving, I have found that it truly does get good mileage. No I don't drive like a grandpa, but I stay within the speed limit as much as possible. No qualms about the problems with this car period. The only thing I have seemed to notice is the rear window. Water sits inside the upper portion of the window, and rusts out the metal. I am getting ready to take it in for a guy so he can re-weld and fix this problem. I recently changed the radiator (the O.G. had a hole), getting ready to change the water pump, and just changed the fuel pump, and recently changed all the exhaust flanges. Not bad for an old car really. It is more reliable than a few cars I've seen and has been the talk of the town since I do drive it everywhere! This summer I put roof racks on it and carry my Mountain bike, my wives, and both my kids' bikes too. So 4 bikes total on the roof. That gets the onlookers something to talk about. LMAO.
