Sad to see the Olds go, but I saw it coming as the last great Olds went with the loss of the V8's. I had a '77 and '85 Delta 88. Boy they were great, even the one that had the chevy engine! I was allowed to buy them from my stepfather after watching him put 100K miles on them. I think they both were still running when he got rid the '91 and the one he got in the mid 90's is already suffered a bad death (transmission problems). He just bought the last Olds he will ever get, a 2000 model. I sold my 85 last year for $1000. Only 175K on it, and rusty from northern winters, but that V8 still purred.... I even get to see it running around my neighborhood as it lives 3 blocks down the street. -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ http://www.naturalsciences.org/store/nature_gallery.html#featured <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6400/200 w/ Sonnet G3/300/1 eBay ID uwphotoer Shon Hall wrote: > Doh!
