1980 Oldsmobile Delta 88 review from North America
"Overall, this is a vehicle in good condition with plenty of more roads to navigate down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headliner disinigrated
seat belts in rear broken.
General comments?
This car was given to me by an old mechanic. He has rebuilt the v-6 engine and also the transmission. He put new shocks all the way around as well as new brakes all the way around. He has replaced the front end on the vehicle with new parts. Replaced the air conditioner compressor and has repaired the radiator. The heater shoots flames out into the floor board. This vehicle is mechanically sound and runs perfect.
The suspension is fantastic and rides these old dirt roads like your floating on a cloud. Washboard roads don't even phase this beast.
The interior upholstery is in good shape. No rips or tears, but the headliner is trashed and the sun visors look like the have been through a meat grinder.
