Bought a '70 Olds 88 in 1978, right after graduating from HS, very similar to the one in this video. Mine was the "Holiday Sedan" and didn't have the window pillars, but the interior, body, and vinyl top color were the same. It had just under 60K miles and was spotless, paid $600. What a beast. 455cid, 2bbl, it had tons of torque and was surprisingly fast considering the size and weight. Damn I should have taken better care of that car.
@@diamonddave16 never lost a race in that boat. Would Reem it out in frist gear up to 65mph then 100mph in second when I finally hit drive I was literally floating. Had turbo 400 tranny automatic. Lost the muffler when I first got it and pounded a thrush muffler on the pipe. It had a picture of the roadrunner on it and it sounded mean as hell. I blew away some of the nicest old muscle cars in my town. I knew how to drive it and take advantage of the power band always having the rpms on the verge of taking off then just stomp on it when I would race while moving.
I wish they made cars like this again! Imagine walking into a dealership and buying one? It would be the easiest sale the dealer ever had! "Take my money, I don't need convincing!" xD
I had this exact car in a 2- door in 77’. Bought it from my moms aunt for $500. 32,000 miles garaged. With that 455 it was nothing to bring that boat to 100 mph.
That's so funny because my Dad had a Green hardtop 1970 Delta 88 Oldsmobile with a 4 Barrel 455 and my buddy and I back in the 80's nicknamed it the boat !
My grandfather had this year, he was also involved with GM and was friends with Ransom Eli Olds and we have an autographed book he wrote, Pioneer Days. My grandfather was also the VP of the Alfred P Sloan foundation
What's with that long tailpipe tip? Our 68-88 had the tip out of site as did most 88s and it was classy, they paid attention to the little things; unlike newer cars with their mufflers (soon to be rusty) hanging down the back like bad plumbing.
I had a 1970 Olds 88, with a 350 Rocket, l wished l had her now OH the Power.. Oh and same color but metalic hardtop. And the muffler was tucked, not seen.

Loved this paint color - wish you could get modern cars with it.

My Dad bought the 1969 Version and we loved it...until the 1973 gas shortage hit us hard. Still miss it!
One of the best looking Olds 88 I think I've seen. I had a 72 model with the 455 back in the day. I gotta find another one.

The first car I ever drove was my dad's 1970 Delta, similar color to this one. Brings a tear to my eye to see this, thanks.
Owned one like this, nice car.
Yea! Great memories

Cool
my first car, except mine didn't have the window pillars. I had a true hard top
Nice. My dad had a gold 70 w black top.
