1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88 royale brougham review from North America
"I love this cruiser of a boat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fan clutch went out causing it to over heat, but was fixed.
The lower power steering hose blew, also fixed.
The radiator blew, also fixed.
General comments?
This car is very reliable, I haven't had any serious problems with it and when I first got it I drove the hell out of it.
I have found that the fastest it will do in the 1/4 mile is 17.5 but get it on the freeway and it will cruise 130 mph no prob, handles great for its size. And will do a very decent burnout when you hold the break.
Future plans: olds 350 with 300horses, cowl induction hood, new paint w/flames, dual exhaust and 10 inch tire in the rear.
