Delta Force79

I've always wanted one of these Imperials, however I would keep away from this one...the gauges don't work and parts for a car nearly 30 years old in terms of electronics may be hard to find. I would wait for another one to pop up....and stay away from the one's that have not been converted from fuel injection to a carb. The fuel injection system on these cars was very unrelilable.

Dude you're young, don't sweat it...give her a little time and see if she wants to give you a chance or not. If she dosen't then for your sake just try to move on ( as hard as it may seem) it gets better with time. BTW I know you're still in highschool...but dude it may work to your benefit for you to tell her yourself...and not online :AH-HA_wink: I know it's easier said than done when it comes to telling someone you like them, especially if you think there is a good chance they won't feel the same for you...but I digress, you gotta do it one on one in person and make eye contact. One it makes it more intimate and two it allows her to see if you're sincere or not and vice versa....thats my advice...for now, its 5:15 am....the Dr. Phil part of my thought process is half dead at this hour

Happy B-day man

I've never actually owned one, but from experiences I have had with them...make sure he checks the rear glass for leaks as the stripping may become worn. The rear quarters and tailgates tend to rust on these trucks depending on location. The interior is quite simple and durable. I would suggest a test of the 4X4 system (obviously) but also the transmission. I'm not sure if the 3 speed turbo-Hydramatic was still used at this point or if GM switched over to 4 speeds. I wasn't sure about the locking hubs, but luckily Camino answered that one. I know Sixty8 had one for a brief time, I'm sure he can give you some advice.

It looks like its coming along nicely...keep up the great work BTW...I would suggest slightly larger wheels as the Hawk's wheel seems rather small in that wheel well... just my $.02 Edit: on second thought, perhaps its just the angle the pic was taken at?

The suspense is killing me...what is it?

I love hard rock, metal and classic rock....I'm pretty closed minded...I used to be into rap but rap today is a total joke. I can still listen to 2-Pac and Notorious B.I.G, Dr. Dre etc....but I prefer rock. Pantera, Godsmack, Alice In Chains, Korn, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Sevendust, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Bob Seager, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots....etc. In recent years I've grown to love a lot more classic rock, but mainly a particular song rather than a catalog of songs from any one artist.

I guess I'm the only one too lazy to dirty a glass and have to wash it...maybe I belong in Gen X instead of Y....its the carton or bottle for me

I'm going to include the 2 cars I own now, and my past cars... Present: 1995 Buick Riviera-6 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88-8 Past: 1978 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight-8 1986 Toyota Camry-4 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue-8 1996 Ford Taurus-6 Total=40, so far....

Love the Toronado....but why does the Info display still say it's Monday Jan 1, 1990?

When looking back at your poll, the generation gaps seem rather big. I was born in 1982 and a kid that was born in 1990 or later hardly seems like a part of my generation. IMO, generations should maybe span 5-10 years at the most. my brother was born in 1996, thats a 13 year age difference between us, we are two totally different generations IMO. I'll be 25 this year and he just turned 11...he's not even into girls yet and I've been in a relationship for a few years already....you get the point. When the grunge scene began in the early 90's music, that was the type of music I liked, it was the soundtrack for my generation...My brother wouldn't know Alice In Chains from The Rolling Stones.

Pretty interesting...for a Beretta

Gen Y, although I came in at the early stages of it.

I agree the price is a bit much, but it looks to be mint inside and out so I can see why he's asking it. THe Buick is nice too...I'm just not a fan of the orange decals...the silver and black with t-tops is sweet though

Dell sucks

Indeed, but stranger things have happened...

Thanks for posting that Ninety Eight...I thought Pontiac didn't offer those options. Thats is a nice Bonneville,but I'm not a fan of the wheel skirts.

The Maxima has a slight edge in the ugly factor, its boxy, has those cheap looking protruding plastic bumpers, has no style whatsoever. Yes the Delta 88 is boxy, but its got a Rocket V8, is a rare Pace car replica and would smoke an 84 manual Maxima even with a 3 speed auto....plus even the none pace cars are rare and that is what makes it a beauty in my eyes, I think its more interesting to own something not considered a cool car, every "car guy" either has a Mustang or a Camaro, a Cuda or a Trans Am or GTO or they aspire to own one....why? they're everywhere, how's about being original? thats my opinion....

I'd rather have an 84 Maxima....

That is correct ocn....the Holiday 88 came only in coupe form and featured bucket seats, floor console and floor shift. Optional sunroof and sport mirrors. The funny thing is I think Pontiac was trying to make the Bonneville a luxury car during this time and no sport model was offered. The Delta 88 was more of car for all people IMO...base models for the new growing family, Royale models for those looking for most of the luxury features of a Ninety Eight for less money and the Holiday coupe for the the sporty crowd. The funny thing is most Holiday 88's during this time had roll down windows and basic trim on the door panels despite the fact this was a rare special package. One would think it would be fully loaded, but my Royale has more features than a typical Holiday does.

You call that no rice? and BTW to the car burning....
