Stock pic shown - it had a real 4 cylinder water cooled engine which at 600cc is smaller than most motor bikes now. Easy to park on campus and could get four of us up to 50 mph.
That 425 Rocket V-8 was one great engine.
I had a 65 Delta 88 tricked out exactly like yours except for the bucket seats and the vinyl roof. Mine was also a four door sedan.
That thing would fly. and it handled surprisingly well too.
All in all the best car I ever owned. I got it third hand from Daddy, to older brother to me.

That’s cool. I used to cruise Atlantic Avenue at Virginia Beach blasting Ike Turner’s “Rocket ‘88” on the factory installed 8-tack, lol. The doors, console, dash and glove box was all wood panels.
I still remember the car I dreaded racing the most was a ‘69 Delta ‘88 sporting a 455 Super Rocket with a manual 4-speed (Hurst) that could shut-down anything off the starting line. If I’d had the manual tranny, I think I could have matched it on the quarter mile.
