I have found a Nice 67? Delmont in a town close to me. I have spoken to the owner and it can be had. I think it has been sitting now for about 20 years. The car was parked in the spot it is in now and left to rot. I think it is real straight and very lite rust at lower fenders and some on top due to the vinyl top. I think it has a 330 engine in it. this car is a four door, but all Delmonts were four door cars, right ??? I did not have a good way to take pic's at the time but I will be by that area next week and will take a few if any one wants it. I think he want a 1000.00 "This car could end up on Craig's list" he said. I did offer 500.00 but no chance. This car is silver with black interior. This car is sitting in the dirt down to the frame. Was this a one year only car?/

Olds made Delmonts in '67&'68. Sedans, Coupes and Convertibles.

NO car that's been sitting outdoors in the dirt for 20 years is worth $1000.

I doubt even 500.

Especially not a bottom of the line sedan.

I sold a fully operational, registered, 60,000 mile, rust-free, straight '68 Ford Galaxie with a 390, cam, carb, and manifold, sway bars, new radiator, new water pump, new starter, new battery, and new tires to a high school kid for $1,200 last year after having it on the market for 2 years with no bites, just to get it off my lawn.

After sitting for 20 years the engine is probably seized. For a 4-door, I would think $300-$500 would be about right if you needed some of the parts.

I was not real sure but I thought 500.00 was the most it could be worth. This thing is real straight, the grill, bumpers are all real nice . I hope some one here ends up with it for the right price, if only for parts. I can help with moving and storing for a short time.

Run, do not walk away from this, my friend. You do not need this headache and that's coming for a Delmont owner! The drivetrain is nothing special or rare and 4-door body parts don't fetch much (especially since not many people restore 4-doors anyway).

The best thing the owner could have done for you was to turn down your $500 offer.

Just my humble opinion and no offense to any 4-door, full-size model owners!

Thank you sir, I think you are right, I just thought some one here could use it for maybe the perfect front clip.

Is 100 your best offer? not sure what you mean.

MDchanic

+ 100.

As in +1 ("Add one more voice to this chorus"), x 100.

In other words, I agree 100 times that the best move you ever made was walking away from that car. And I do so in bold face.

In the fullness of time, you will come to see the folly of even considering buying it.

And, in terms of price, I wouldn't pay $1.00 for it, because it's cost you time and money to haul it away and then dispose of the carcass.

Wow, why don't you just say what you really think. That is funny, I do think you all are right, and I am glad he turned his nose up at the 500.00.

Well, if you ever have something like that again, PLEASE hit me up.
Maine isn't too far from Mass.

I will, but I've sworn off 4-doors now .
