Olds-Nut's 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88

We were on our way to the Muscle Car Reunion

September 12th at KCIR in Kansas City.

I was in quite a hurry to get there and the Sheriff got me.

No matter how hard I ran I just could not  shake that Model A 

HA! HA!

My brother took the pic on his cell phone while I was registering for the car show.

(When you read the bottom of the page you will understand why I have one)

Well after all this time (about five years to be exact)

The Olds is finally transforming into my dream car!

When I started this project I approached it with this one thing in mind.

If GM executives came to me in 1973 and said build us a muscle car off of a Delta 88 platform, "What would I build?"

So how about a W-31 Hurst equipped Delta 88?

This is just a concept of what a W-31 Delta 88 would be.

In the future it will have a Hurst Dual Gate Shifter (have one ready to install)

and I will keep the bench seat. (tried buckets and it just does not look right in this car)

A rear sway bar will be added to enhance the handling.

The last thing will be my version of a Ram Rod 350.

They did not make any Delta 88's like this, but I thought it would be a good theme to build a car of off.

After all one of a kind cars are not built,

"They Evolve!"

Have to get a new Air cleaner, because when we were at KCIR

"Big Daddy" Don Garlits autographed my air cleaner lid!

"That was the highlight of the day!"

Nice. I love it when someone uses more knowledge and skill than just money, especially with such an unusual ride. 5 stars for the clean look and the only '88 cowl hood I've ever seen.
