Kelly: Hard to believe there is still one around in that good shape. They were a nice car but man did GM have a quality problem. I bought a new Delta 88 in 74 and by 1978 you could not drive on gravel roads. The passenger compartment would just simply fill with dust. Mine had the 455 with 4 barrel carb, had a British immigrant neighbor, was always poking fun at my BIG AMERICAN CAR. He bought a Chevelle Malibou with 305 with 2 barrels. He was very annoyed to discover I actually got 3 more mpg than he did. Kind of put and end to the BIG AMERICAN CAR jokes.

They still weren't a bad buy, we bought them very cheap. The 455 required very little tune up, they just ran and ran. By 79 they had doubled in price and were a smaller and lighter car. Drove mine on scales once 5,180 lbs.
