For Sale: 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in Lithia Springs, Georgia
This 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 is quite a unique machine. It's a
well-preserved/presented survivor with the rare diesel V8 under the
hood. It makes for an affordable classic where you can get people
talking about both the level of originality and the fuel you
burn.
This is the era of the popular square sedans. And so it's a unique
time where we bet the confidently flat front end of this Olds
brings up a specific memory for you. And the reason why this
particular one can have so much nostalgia attached to it is because
of how original it is. In fact, the Pastel Waxberry is not only a
great 1980s hue, but also the factory-correct color shows the right
signs of being the original factory application. And you just don't
see them in this kind of complete condition anymore. It's a
comprehensive appearance that has the appropriate aged-in style. So
while the total mileage of the car is currently undefined, you can
tell it has spent plenty of time being cared for correctly. This
one wears its bright headlight bezels and factory wire wheel covers
with distinction. And the full-length tan pinstripe coordinates
with the correct Royale vinyl roof. There's even a special hood
ornament that announces the unique powerplant for this Olds.
The tan interior also has the kind of velour pattern that brings up
the same nostalgia as the exterior. Part of the appeal of these
large sedans is that they can seat up to six with ease, but fold
down the front armrest, and it provides you with individual
comfort. This is a time capsule done right, and so it can still
easily eat away the miles with great features like a tilt steering
column, a Delco AM/FM stereo, cruise control, and cold-blowing air
conditioning.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8, but not necessarily the kind
you were expecting. This is from the few years when diesel power
was available to Oldsmobile. The engine bay is honest but also well
maintained. That's why it fires up with ease, and so you'll be able
to take this to your events to show off. Plus, the high torque
nature of a diesel makes it nice for a big cruising sedan. And a
car like this was really made for the open road. You have all the
right comfy driving features, like a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs.
This is the classic full-size sedan that's distinct for its
survivor style and the V8 that powers it. So if you like something
that's both unique and affordable, don't miss this diesel Olds.
