![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/shalerpunk/delta88.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/shalerpunk/delta88.jpg) i can get this car dirt-ass cheap. it’s a Delta 88 convertible, I don’t know which year, with a 350, and I was told a 375 tranny. Does anyone on here know what I should be looking for problem-wise with the thing when I check it out tomorrow? ---

It should be a 350turbo tranny. If it runs that could end up being a pretty cool car. ---

> [@VictorSmalls](#): > > It should be a 350turbo tranny. If it runs that could end up being a pretty cool car. runs well… needs suspension work for inspection. it’s the antithesis of everything i usually like about cars, but even the most diehard FWD import enthusiast wouldn’t pass up a cheap classic convertible. i’d love to get this thing, build a 383 (or even a 454), restore it, and fill the apartment-sized trunk with enough thump to liquify my bowels. ---

Great car, wouldn’t mind having that myself. check out [442.com](http://442.com)[Oldspower.com](http://Oldspower.com) and do some yahoo searches on it. it’s a 75. everything works but the gas gauge. i’m getting it for $1000. 😃 as for the engine upgrades… i’m going to get the car cleaned up and put a new top on it before i worry about performance. then i’d like to build up an engine outside the car over the winter so i can put it in next summer. (this is all dependant on actually buying the car, which i’m hoping to do this week.) ---
