Those big bodied GM cars were stylished in their own way!!! I'm not gonna lie, 24's or whatever looks nice, standin' still, but takes away from real drivability!!! My late sister had '71-'73 Olds and Buicks like that, with Cragar wheels back in the '70's!!!
The 73-77 GM full size cars are my favorites. Great body lines, nice roomy interiors, room in the trunks for tools, a spare, and a body. Thanks for saving this one so my grandkids see more than just mass produced jellybeans on the streets.
Had a '71 Delta 88, with the 455 and a 400 turbo Trans, that was pro-built by my late dear father- in- law. After church one Sunday, pulled up next to a Z28, at the light. Z28 smoked me off the line, but after ~ 55 mph, I walked on by!!! Z28 didn't catch up until about 130 mph!! Memories!! Last, but not least, grew up as a kid, rollin' down Woodward Ave in Detroit, with my dear Dad, in his Oldsmobiles!! Rock on!
I loved how they had so many different rooflines on those GM fullsize cars from 71-76. For the old's I like yours the best. I had a crusty 71 delta 88 ragtop when I lived in N mich, damn near froze to death on the way to school in that thing in the winter. lol
My first car was a 73 Delta 88 Royale. It had a black interior and was a metallic pea soup green. I had it repaired like an electric blue, put on appliance rims similar to the general Lee. Also has a power moonroof installed and got seats from a 75 Toronado with the pillow top style. In the mechanical I had swapped out my stock 350 2V for a 1967 Toronado 425 4V. Boy did that car move out once I did those mods. Also added rear sway bar 1 1/8” from KYB Gas charged shocks and eurothane bushings. She handled GREAT. I recall running Goodyear Eagle GTs on it. Hugged the road great but damn did they wear out fast!!! Thanks for the memories !!! There’s something about ones first car that they never forget !!!
@@Oldcarlane I’ve got a 73 Buick Lesabre I’m redoing. Basically it’s the same car. I was looking at wheels and tires for it. Pretty well the same setup as you have. Did you have any trouble getting the backs to fit inside the wheel wells? Thanks, I appreciate it.
Nice! Keep up the work on the Lesabre! The only thing I had to do was lift the car quite a bit with the jack for them to fit, other than that that, they seem to fit just fine,
I’m interested in the vehicle. Is there a possibility you can send me pics of interior and what’s the mileage? I’m in Utah and willing to come down to buy when it’s available to sell. Here’s my number if you can send me more pics of interior 385-315-8151
Thank GOD, no big rims on them cars, that Olds Delta 88 looks great with those wheels and tires on it!!!

I was in high school when those cars came out new. I thought they were classy.
That is a bad ass car.
A dream car.
15" rims look the best. Bigger rims look absolutely terrible. I've owned a 1973 Caprice coupe and a 1975 Caprice coupe.
Your Oldsmobile is perfect!
My first car was a '73 Olds Delta 88. Had the 350 rocket in it. Fast as fuck too.
Classic muscle
Bad Ass olds 88 yacht
White-black crush, but not car!😍🖤🤍
...alsо chromium wheels awesome 🤩🔥
Good looking car!
Sam Raimi would 💘 it.
Awesome Olds! 👍
Mmm, seems like the exhaust I should get set up for my ‘75 Olds Ninety-Eight
Awesome job
My Dad had a 4 door 73 Delta 88. 455 rocket engine. When he sold it and bought a 1980 the motor was a 403 but not as powerful.
The 403 was nothing compared to the 455!!!!
Beautiful car! What size of wheels and tires did you go with?

@@Oldcarlane will do! I appreciate the reply, thanks again.
What would Greta Thunberg say about it?
Oldsmobile really copy & pasted the '70 Fury III & 300 2 door fuselage body style. No matter, it looks looks smashing!
What State is this in...
