1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Coupe review from North America
"Full sized fury in comfort!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The boat anchor of a trans (the Turbo
200) went out, so a Turbo 350 with a shift kit went in.
The paint is faded.
General comments?
You can use the cruise control on the long drive to the drag strip. Drop in a built small block and some gears and you can run 12's while feeling like sitting on your living room couch. Its got 6 way power seats, tempmatic climate control, ignites the tires until your foot cramps up from being glued to the floorpan, and can store six of your friends in the trunk when you go to the drive in movies. Oh yeah did I mention that it's only 3800 pounds!
