Get this, this guy was asking 1000$ for this Beautiful 87 Delta 88 RB. So I call and inquire on the price, and I go and see it, and THANK GOD IT RAINED. We found there was a "Major" Leak, As I told him ;D And it soaked the entire Interior of the vehicle. I knew exactly what it was. This vehicle is Md. Garnet Red. Mt. And it has a beautiful Soft top to match. Well, I decided I would talk him down, so I could spend the other money on parts and repair, etc. So I got him down from 1000$ to 400$ in an Instant since the Window Motors are dying, the Ceiling Lining is falling, and there was a "Major" Leak, plus the Door Consoles, (I've seen this problem in a LOT of oldsmobiles) Have basically Broken away from the door, simple fix, whatev. I can go into a Junkyard, and have this thing looking BRAND NEW on about 10$ with the Connections I have. I figure once I get my Camera Working I'll go take some pictures of it, and post them here

The leak, was an easy fixed, I pulled the Soft Top back, and used Caulk to seal the window properly, I knew exactly what it was, The Ceiling, Glued up, and the Door Consoles, I have new ones. Total fees including Licensing: 600$ approximately. And I'm happy as can be.

Now, Here's the complicated part. I want to know some Engine Specs...

This is an Oldsmobile, Delta 88 Royal Brougham from 1987 with a 3.8L v6.. Can someone tell me what the Engine output is? (Horsepower) And what the estimated weight is? I don't wanna get it scaled or tested at a garage, because I want to spend the other 400 intended for the car on a CD Player, maybe some cheap-o speakers, and some other interior fixers.

Thanks in advance! - Pk.

Sounds like a pretty good deal, I definately would like to see some pics.

I know the specs have been posted before...several times....

Thanks a lot Brando I'll have a look into that

Heh, I got an 87 too, just a Royale though. Where exactly are ya in PA? I live very close to MD, as you stated you picked up the car in MD.

I think specs are on the engine are around 150HP @ 210ft/lb torque. It's around there.

I dun live near MD and I never said I picked it up in MD Heh. Must've misread, or I made a typo! Sorry! :O!!!


But I live in Central Pennsylvania, like Near Williamsport (3 hour drive from both Philly and Pittsburg) Right in the MIDDLE heh...

Wow, I totally read wrong, thats the second time this week, gotta get more sleep. Williamsport, thats a 2 hour drive from my neck of the woods (literally, back roads of PA) Anyways, congrats on getting the 87, I love mine, its powerful and comfy as hell.

Hahaa. Very nice, I love being tired. lol..


Yeah, backroads suck, but you know, these Olds really provide some smooooooooooooth riding on some of these nasty old concrete slabs we call roads

You're right on the smooth part. Driving over this one nasty railroad track is hell in the parents Toyota, the Olds, you can bearly feel it. Kinda weird for a 19 year old car to ride better then a 3 year old one.

Change the Spark Plugs and Wires, Air Filter, and flush the radiator and you should be set. I know it did mine good.

Also you said you wanted to put in some cheap speakers. The front 3 1/2 inch front speakers to replace with fairly good sounding ones cost more per speaker then a say 6" speaker from most online shops ive browsed. Personally im going to just ditch the front 3 1/2's and just put tweeters in the spot and put either 5 1/4's or 6" in the door. I would presume it would sound better too. The 6x9's sound fine to me, so im not replacing them. But, thats just my opinion and what I plan on doing.

I beleive, I'll follow your plan
