Delta Force79

huh?

But hey man I like Chryslers...$h! I used to own an 85 Fifth Ave....that thing was pimp

wow....RIP

Well to each their own...I happen to think the styling is clean and understated by the standards of the day. No opera windows, tacked on louvers on the fenders like certain Chryslers, minimal moldings etc. I guess thats why I own one currently and have owned one before my current Delta....and plan to own another one someday...

Is it the paint scheme, or decals...or the styling? Cause I happen to love the 77-79 Ninety Eights and Delta 88's

Indeed it is my friend, indeed it is....but keep your hands off her

Clicky

I like the Monte Carlo's of that vintage from a styling standpoint....I would suggest the Century considering it was probably never beat on.

THat sucks about the Delta Fly...it would have been nice to have two C&Ger's pimping B-Body Delta's here Those two Ninety Eights are nice and that sedan has the optional gauge package which is very rare...I would scoop that baby up in a heartbeat if I could afford it

No prob BTW here are a couple more things to look for that I forgot to mention...there is also a idiot light for the brakes it will come on only if the e-brake is engaged or will stay if the brake system detects a failure somewhere in it's system or if there is a bad leak. These cars have front discs and rear drums and as such, the pedal will be a little softer than you're used to in the Aurora as well as my Riviera...but don't be worried...the pedal should have a little "play" in it as it is normal...but if the pedal is too soft and the brake light is on or even if it isn't on, I would have the brakes checked. If it has dual power mirrors, the control for the passenger side mirror is located to the left of the radio. I can't tell from the photo, but if the car does not have a power antenna, then the standard antenna is located in the windsheild and is visible in the center of the windshield. They aren't the greatest for reception, but they are more durable because they are embeded in the glass. The carpet is prone to heavy wear and tear in the drivers foot well near the kick panel as the floor board is recessed while the door sill sits higher...its hard to explain but you'll see what I mean when you see the car. I would also check all exterior lights because the old GM wiring isn't the greatest in the world and they can tend to short out due to water, so I would test them before you even test drive the car ( I made the mistake of not doing that and my car had no tail lights, brake lights or turn signals in the rear) while I was test driving it, I almost had an accident not realizing I had no rear lights and I came to a stop to turn and was almost rear ended. But at the end of the day its a car over 20 years old, so expect so issues with it, but for the price...the ride is great, the car is a tank and will withstand a beating and its a blast to drive for being a "grandpa" mobile...so have fun and hope you like it when you see it in person.

Well judging by the pic, that is a Royale model, look for bubbling on the vinyl roof for rust underneath. check around the chrome moldings along the bottom of the car as water tends to get trapped and rust out the doors and fenders under the chrome unnoticed until the rust hole gets so big that the chrome can't cover it up anymore. I own a 1979 model which has the same interior but different exterior. So maybe GM worked out some of those rust issues...check the brake lines as well the two B, C-bodies I've owned have had the brake lines snap from rust. My frame has surface rust on it but is solid still, these frames are pretty strong and solid, however I would still get under there and check the rear frame rails and the rear axle for excessive oil residue which may indicate a bad leak. my Olds has a 350 Rocket motor, so I don't really know what to look for with the 307 in the '85's. The interiors are simple and pretty durable, check the weather seals around the doors for cracking as GM used this cheap spounge type weather stripping back then, that is prone to cracking and dry rot. I would also check the trunk for water damage as the trunk weather stripping is the same spounge type as around the doors...(at least on my '79) if you test drive it make sure your idiot lights are working, there should be lights for "Gen" "Oil" and "Hot" and considering there is no temp gauge or oil gauge these two lights are a something you should have working. If the car has a power trunk release in the glove box, the key needs to be in the run position for it to work (if it works) Oh and be sure to test the climate control system, these old GM units tend to stay on even when they're "off" the blower is always blowing a little air on the floor. If the car has the optional gauge package there will be three gauges below the speedometer near the steering column. There is also a optional idiot light package which has a low fuel warning and a few other warning lights... the standard lights are located to the right of the speedometer to the left of the main center dash vent. The optional lights are to the right of the main center dash vent. If that right side light panel does not light up at all, the vehicle does not have the optional lights. The head liners are known to sag and fall as the glue wears out on them in most cases...as well as on the sun visors.

Very nice!

I own a b-body Delta 88...so what do ya wanna know? :AH-HA_wink:

Nice...I wish I could get these into the PS2 game...or actualy San Andreas b/c I no longer own Vice City...I like that red Caddy...but I wish someone would make a 77-79 Olds Ninety Eight or Delta 88

Nice Malibu....brings back memories (grandparents had a blue '81 'Bu sedan) and no the rear glass does not roll down, only the quarter glass swings open and ocn stated. I never understood why GM did that...I would inspect it first before buying...but for 650...a little body damage is fine...just make sure the frame is solid.

Congrats on the Sebring....I'm not a fan of the styling at all, and especially a base model...but for the price, it looks like a steal....good luck with it.

You change cars as often as you change your underwear...well no actually I hope you change your undies daily...the cars haven't come and gone that quick yet

Sorry to hear it sixty, but coming from experience (my parents split up when I was 3) the best thing you two can do for your child as parents, is to put your differences aside at all costs while in front of Sophia. If it means you're deserving of an Oscar for best actor, then so be it. The happier you and Marcia seem to be in front of her, the less she'll feel torn between mom or dad. If you and Marcia can remain friends and keep up social appearances together to help Sofia through this, at least for the next few years until she is old enough to relaize mommy and daddy don't blame her for the split, and she is old enough to understand why you two aren't together. The reason I say this is because the way my parents split was full of hate and disdain for one another, and me being a 3 year old and growing up through that made it very hard to have a "normal" childhood. My dad saw me on weekends, and I lived with my mom. but they were constantly fighting over me and it left me feeling responsible for the split in the first place. I wish you good luck with your new relationship, but you need to stay close to Marcia. just my 2 cents...

Yes T-Type Regals look like Grand Nationals because they are the same car....this is a T-Type LeSabre :AH-HA_wink:

I took my road test in a '97 0r '98 Camry
