They drive and ride amazing! My parents had one just like it and I loved to drive it.

[@Seemego4WD]

Love those, miss the days when you could buy them for 100 dollars

[@andregonsalvez9244]

Great buy and car ! I own a 81 Oldsmobile 88 which I get a thumbs up whenever I drive it .

[@michelsaarloos4392]

Me too 😊

[@michelsaarloos4392]

A Delta 88 is always great. 😊

[@garycruz9475]

My aunt and uncle had a 1986 model, burgundy with matching interior. It was such a beautiful car and it rode really nice, smooooth...

[@jaityrone6306]

She looks beautiful, the 1981 Delta 88 was my first car.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Solid car! Cleaned up very well.

[@johnchambers12]

We used to spray a little water on one belt at a time to rule them out

[@farber442]

Y & 9 are the two Olds 307s, Y is the 140 HP version, and the 9 is the 180 HP version that was used in the limited edition Hurst/Olds in 1983 FYI ,cool car anyways!

My favorite car

What a cruiser, you may have solved the high idle problem on my 79 Buick Electra

[@67marlins]

Nice, this brings back memories.. The 307 was a very good Oldsmobile-built engine made from 1980 to 1990. Much better than the typical chevy junker, whose 307 was made 1968 to 1973...so unless you suspect someone swapped engines (?) your neat old Delta 88 should ONLY have an Oldsmobile engine if a 307. Good luck....if you decide to keep it, I'd suggest joining an Oldsmobile club to make friends and learn about that vintage and the locations of good parts sources.

[@patrickflohe7427]

It’s very obvious, the differences in the two engines, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet. You can always tell an Olds-built V-8 by the vertical oil fill tube in the front of the engine, and a much wider intake. The later Olds engines had A LOT of vacuum lines, and the earlier Chevy 307 did not.

[@IdealGrain]

I can’t wait to see what growths I develop this week.

[@AlexanderCrump]

All 307s sound scary when they get old.

[@bookooc5605]

'sexy bubble time' 🤣 love the soundtrack!

[@leifn756]

You should do this where it is environmentally safe

[@patrickflohe7427]

I’ve experienced glazed pulleys before, which make the belts squeal. One thing is for sure, it’ll need new belts.

[@patrickflohe7427]

There was never a Chevy 307 in these. They had absolutely no relation to the old Chevy 307s that just happened to have had the same displacement. EVERY car, not just Oldsmobile, has a VIN character, either letter or number, that denotes the engine in the car. The two styles of 307s were the original, which came in around 1981 or so. The second style had roller lifters & I believe more restrictive valves, and different exhaust manifolds. It’s usually a loose belt that makes that squeal.

[@minskmade]

Is that a Delica i spy back there. I rocked a caprice classic in the mid 90s it had that same plush red interior......it was pretty much a babe magnet...:P

[@wickedwerks]

Close! Mazda Bongo

[@minskmade]

@@wickedwerks dig..i need to research those

[@khb3892]

Is there a tension pulley on it? If there is, replace before it eats the belt.

[@wickedwerks]

Might be. I’m going to remove one belt at a time and see when the noise stops

[@patrickflohe7427]

Nope. Tension pulleys are on serpentine belt systems.

[@dcmflydude6320]

HEY….what’s up with the Karmann Ghia hiding over there?

[@wickedwerks]

Project in line. Needs lots of metal. Chassis is done, needs channels.

[@RosendoDominguez-vc8kr]

MY NOVA HAD A 307 FAST TO .AGRAIT MORORBAT THE 327 IS WAY BATOR STRONGOR FASTOR .TAFOR BAT THE 307 IS RELY KOOL

[@alliesawells6976]

Y'all wanna sale it?

[@russellharris5072]

Belts?Nah,dry bearings.Take your pick as to which set.Water pump sounds a bit like that but could be one of te others......................................

[@wickedwerks]

Going to remove one belt at a time and see what happens 😂

[@patrickflohe7427]

Yes, loose V-belts do that. Still could have a bad bearing, but probably not.

[@donaldskinner1747]

large barge

[@AlexanderCrump]

Even when new, these would not do a power brake burnout. Don't even try.

[@TN-oc3cw]

What even is happening here?????
