well found the car im buying.. going and pick it up wensday at 4pm... gettin it for $1,500 bucks!! RUNS AND DRIVES!!..
NEW BRAKE LINES carb was rebuilt some time.. 2 bbl carb, dual exhaust, 425 big block 10.25:1 compression.. high comp 425 was a custom orderd motor, also was orderd with no a/c but a aftermarket unit was installed sometime in the late 60s to early 70s.. clean clear title.. guy im gettin it from is the 3rd owner..
kinda ugly but have faith in me my 2 stroke bothers ( and sisters).. it will be flat black in no time!! just gotta figure out if i wanna do flames or scallops.. and the back will be lowered
That car SCREAMS "pull me over, there's probably a criminal driving me". You won't be able to ride dirty in that one. lol j/k
lol yeah but the hobbiest plates will help keep me from gettin pulled over.. wi laws are laid back when it comes to hoobiest.. normally wont fk with you for exhaust, or lowered, or no hood, and so on
thanks! def less of a project then the caddy i had that i sold to buy my blaster.. this one runs and drives so its just down to making it look the way i want it to
ops 1965 oldsmobile delta 88 holiday 425 big block, engine was a rdered option in 65-68 with the 10.25.1 compression 360 hp stock, orderd none a/c but had aftermarket ac installed, th400 trans, i will be the 4th owner
Won't that thing be wanting leaded gas?? Nice find though, I love big old steel!!
Buy an aussie locker for the rear axle....http://www.offroadlockers.com/ It's a lunchbox locker, meaning you just replace the spiders with this and you're locked. cheaper than a full detroit and does the same thing!! Both of my DDs are locked, one with detroits front and rear, the other with an aussie locker in the rear. The detroits are nicer...more quiet, engages more smoothly (99% of the time, believe it or not) and it's a detroit! Aussie isn't bad at all though, espeically for the price.
TH400 is a good tranny. Got a shift kit in it? Why not a rachet shifter? Those are bad ass! My buddy has an 81 Monte Carlo LS with a caddy 502 v8, TH400, and a new 10 bolt every time he gets on the gas!! It's got dual exhaust that goes into a single rear tailpipe...total sleeper. I keep telling him he needs a 12 or 14 bolt....he's lazy and likes just bolting in direct replacements!!

cant remmeber what the mileage is.. and it can be run on unleaded, and if wanted can buy lead additive from parts stores, just needs the valve seals replaced with harddended ones.. im not to worryed about it, if i ever have to replace them im gonna get the heads worked over..
