Cargirl Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hello-I inherited a car from my father. It is a 1974 Olds 88 Royale convertible White/white with a white top. It has Indy Pace car stripes but not the verbage (Official Pace Car) It has the pace car stripes and had them in '79 when my father bought the car and it has SS 5 rims. I did lots of research and uncovered that there were some 300 Delta 88 courtesy cars that year. I am interested in selling this car and wondered if anyone would know how to determine if this was a courtesy car and what the value would be either way. It has 80,000 original miles on it, is in excellent condition, inside and out, and everything works on the car. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

rocketraider Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 There were actually 92 Delta convertibles supplied for the 1974 Indianapolis 500 program, in addition to the Cutlass based Hurst/Oldses, the Custom Cruiser wagon photo platform car and a bunch of GMC trucks. Olds even furnished one Cutlass Salon 4 door sedan in Pace Car trim for IMS owner Tony Hulman's personal use. There was some discussion about that car on the Forums a while back.Visit www.hurstolds.com and contact H/OCA Director Calvin Badgley for a realistic value. He owns one of the Delta convertibles.

Cargirl Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 I wrote to Clavin twice but he has not returned my emails. Is there anyone else you could suggest I write about my 1974 maybe/maybe not courtesy car? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargirl Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 Glenn- Calvin did get back to me and ran the VIN number and indeed, my car is one of the original 92 Olds 88 courtesy cars What a pleasant surprise indeed. Given this fact do you have an estimate or ballpark on it's value? If you know of any individuals that would be interested in buying this car, I would appreciate referring them to this thread, thanks!!Brenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
