New ( old) Yank filth not imminent

[Rocket88]

Those at the back paying attention may recall I recently acquired this…. It’s lovely, but to “ good to use” and a bit atypical for my tastes…

So this is incoming….

PS Buick for sale….😂

[sdkrc]

Oh shit. That's utter filth. I love it

[Rocket88]

‘79 Olds 88 Vista Cruiser…..

[Surface Rust]

That is very cool, and perfect just as it is.

[Rocket88]

Front bumper is the worst bit…. Rest is pretty straight 

[tooSavvy]

Rocket"88" = Ike Turner = Cool yank iron...

Oh, and "..All the way home I held a grudge, for the safety belt that wouldn't budge.."

I agree. But more shite points.

parts like headlamps avaliable?

[eddyramrod]

If you can get them for Japanese cars of the period (which you can) then no problem.

Some included… and they’re pretty generic 

[Pieman]

That is incredible!

[Matty]

Your insurance company must be having head spins 😄well played

[Schaefft]

Yeah, sealed beams will be universal fit. And generally speaking anything you need for a b-body is still available on Rockauto. Nice buy!

[somewhatfoolish]

Ideal for impersonating the Griswalds.

[brownnova]

That is bloody brilliant! 

[Stinkwheel]

Nice one!!! I had a 79 olds delta 88 royale for a bit. Bloody brill car

Eddy… nipped over to the “ for sale” section recently?😄

[Rocket88]

It’s the quietest V8 I’ve ever heard, just a gentle murmur……

[Rocket88]

Rear facing seats under boot floor… never been sat in

[hairnet]

splumph

can smell the 70s from here

[ETCHY]

The soundtrack to your new motor

 

[Stinkwheel]

Much jealousy and want are occurring - please do keep posting this magnificent motor as you progress - makes the 301ci I had in my delta 88 seem weedy

[Sham]

Swap for a broken X Box, mate?

[Rocket88]

I’m not sure both ends of this are in the same postcode…..

[dome]

That.

Is.

AMAZING!
