Such friendly folks in Tennessee! So talkative, open, happy to see you.

Just a good old boy that likes cars and doesn't care about them being perfect just a plain nice dude

The triumph is why the Brits drink their beer warm, Lucas makes their refrigerators.

I hope you will do car presentations together more often. You are two born presentators. You are so knowledgable on these cars. When I watch you folks I feel I learn something. All the best from the Netherlands.

Imagine that Spitfire with a boosted 3800 v6. 😍

Nothing in the glove box but my bowl and bag! Lol!

For your enjoyment. The grille of the Caballero was found allso on some European cars. Opel Commodore and Opel Record. Thank you for working together to present the Caballero the way you did. Very very injoyable.

Not only have I seen a Delmont 88, I used to own one in the late 70s. It reminded me of my first car, a 67 Impala SS.

My sister's husband's father was a master mechanic for a Ford dealership for a while. Then they started a repair shop at their house, he had a 4 car shop and he was a cougar enthusiast and he had a bunch of cougar XR-7 cars and parts and he had one with a 429 in it and whatever else optional extras were available. But he just passed away a few years ago and he was the only one left in the family who was there at the house and when they took over the house and property they scrapped everything that was there including the cougar parts and extra body parts and it was a big deal and before he passed away he was trying to sell everything that he could? But there wasn't anyone that was interested in the part's and car's that were left. It was a shame that it went to waste!

The Bonanza was a yearly limited special sold in the spring thru the 70s, It included certain features grouped together at a discounted price. There were multi-level packages, A, B, C and D, each one piling on more options. It was a response to the similarly promoted Ford Explorer pickup (before it was an SUV). That was also a spring special with various discounted option packages. Interestingly, the nameplate was recycled by GM-Brazil in the early 90s. After the GMT400-OBS Blazer & Suburban came out in '92, the Square body tooling was sent there and the vehicles were called Bonanza. The square body was built for many more years there. Fun fact., the car Ted Kennedy was driving was a '67 Olds Delmont when he dunked it at Chappaquiddick in the summer of '69. The Delmont replaced the both Dynamic 88 and small-engined Jetstar 88 in 1967. It lasted 2 years before being replaced with a base-model Delta 88 in 1969.

Hello from Australia ,what a friendly couple ,if there were more people like this in the world it would be a nicer place ,nice folks in Tennesee

Wow! I thought that I would never see another one of those again? I have owned 2 1968 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 and I tell you what an awesome riding car that is! It makes you feel like you were on your couch cruising down the road and they had good power. I bought them for the engines mainly, but I wanted to drive it around for a while before I pulled the engine out. I put the engine in a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass f-85 deluxe coup. I raised my kids while I had the Cutlass f-85 deluxe coup car. And when my son was old enough, I gave it to him and now he has it restored and he will probably pass it on to his son? But I kinda wish I could find another 1968 Delmont 88 one and I would just restore it and drive it. The 2 car's I owned were wrecked and that was how I found out about them.

A friend of mines dad had a 77 Bonanza when we were kids. It was loaded. 454, electric windows and locks, tilt, cruise. It was nice.

Yup, I'm sure that Olds really needed the undercoating to protect it from the furious snow of Tennessee.

Guy reminds me of Turtle man yeeeyeeeeyeeeeyeeeeyeeee!! 🐢

OMG a Caballero! A childhood neighbor had one back in the day. Now I know there were/are 2 in existence. Great content Parker. You the man

cool cars , nice finds, like the triumph spitfire, learned to drive I stick in a 1973

He was 🎤 up before the hello. I can't unsee it. Great content as always.

Damm I love this channel

Cougar is nice...👍

Those big olds were common on the west coast. 425 the daddy to the 455 which came out in 68. The 425 was a three year run. Probably Olds best big V8 ever. Have had two 65 Jetstar 1’s. And yes speedometer drives off left front wheel a gm thing even a corvair was like that. And as for the old ford truck last year for the flathead V8 was 53.

thanks Parker, keep the videos coming

The Cougar does not have correct bucket seat upholstery for a XR-7, but most likely is better condition then the correct ones. The fender with the "Hecto en Mexico" stamping was a replacement fender from late 70's early 80's. It is a Ford service part. Not all Cougars got Disc brakes, is was optional. Over all a nice ride. I like the Spitfire and the Delmont 88 425. I had a friend in High School whos dad had one, but a 4 door company car. .

Dude should call vice grips garage he's in Tennessee. Bet he can get that Oldsmobile started and drive it home

Sometimes,I just feel sad for people. What a great guy tho

Those Folks are AWESOME!! I love it!! Not a lie amongst them!!

Cool . Just hanging out and talking cars on July 4th!

that Delmont 88 is a SUPERIOR car to the Impala !! the 425 engine us a 300 000 mile engine...the 350 impala was maybe 90,000....

Great video love this type content and the junk yard videos keep up the good work syau safe try to keep kool

Cool people and cars !

Happy 4th 🇺🇲this was cool very nice people.

This is Golden. I so love what you do man. Keep it alive brother!!!! 👊💪

I'd take that XR-7 and bring that back to its former glory! 🇺🇸👍

🗿💨 Caballero was sold through Pontiac dealerships. I've got a factory stick Caballero,, had a oak tree fall on it and nee to fix windshield post on pass side. Thanks for sharing 👍✌️

The Bonanza was an upgrade package for the Scottsdale. The Cheyanne was top of the line before the Silverado came along and bumped it to a lower trim-line.

Dad had a blue 79’ cabalero.

Great content! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Wow, just wow.

That red paint your talking about is what the use on the bottom of big ships because of the salt water it keeps the steel from rusting up they sometimes sprayed the bottom of the cars to prevent rust mostly in the northern states ,,,,but that's the paint they used on ships pretty good at keeping things from rusting and rotting out

Chevy Bonanza emblems are now sold through quite a few different sources. For anybody that's interested.

Ah yes the Delmont 88 the poor man's Delta The way the Biscayne was the poor man's Impala Of course don't forget Ted Kennedy was driving a 1967 delmont 88 when he drove off the chappaquadick bridge.

The Navy used Red Lead exclusively.

That Delmont is the entry level Oldsmobile. It is on the C Body platform shared with the base Buick LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville. Certsinly an uncommon car. Drum brakes are likely adequate. To switch to disc brakes, parts from a Delta or Ninety Eight will fit with no problem.

If a guy looked under the back seat of that Delmont 88 he's probably find the remains of the build sheet.

My brother has the 68 delmont 88 convertable that is rare

An extremely smart man.

But the Delmont cars I owned had the 455 2 barrel carburetor on it. The car in the video must have been a 1967 year model? So I guess they were very similar to the 1968 year model? Except for the tail lights those were different

If you ever come to Idaho, I will show you a car that you’ve never seen or probably heard of. I won a bet against Chip Foose. He had never seen one either and he signed my dash

Run Parker 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

Old boy got the vo 850 with the factory spoiler with an integrated brake light in the background <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="55">0:55</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> 💯

All VINYL interior...NOT leather

I like those oldsmobiles. Bought one with that 425. That will smoke alot of impala's. I hope it gets saved

Would love that Delmont! Damn you don't see em and a 425 car ta boot! 😢

I had a delmont back in the 70s. It was a great $400 dollar car.

Ralph might have a rare cougar if it was assembled in Mexico. He should look into it.

my father had a 1968 light blue olds delmont 88 4 dr hardtop with the same 455 2bbl,320 hp with a ton of torque.car had no a/c bummer back then it had only 88000 miles on it. believeit or not it accually got 15 mpg and needed good octane fuel. that would make a good reasonable cruiser street mobile.

Someone either put a Duraspark cap on the cougar or someone put the entire distributor in it

My 75 nova had that red undercoat

Very similar to my 67 Rivera!!?🥃🇺🇸

Parker,thor are all station wagon chassis.hence the rear footwell

A lot of the old,s cars had that kind of speed needle .them transmission,s are rare so don't get taken.

GMC sprint also made station wagons

Just came across 4 67 impalas 3 are bucket seat and console cars.

HI ,You have such terrific videos on here. I enjoy all of them. The cougars were supposed to be the LUXURY cars up from a MUSTANG... PLEASE NOTE, I get a LOT of SHORT vids using a name such as yours , any input? TY

That statement about the cars in Pennsylvania being better than the ones in Tennessee as far as rust is debatable lol.

I had a Delmont 88 425 in 1975 good car but had to do a valve job on it

Ha Ha its not tennessee that made them rust like that

I have only seen one El Camino as GMC, it was named Sprint. Was that only outside US. Yours Mads, from Denmark

What part of Tennessee are you in ? I am in North East Tennessee .

1953 was the last year of the Ford flathead. 1955 was when Chevrolet came out with the 265 V8

Yeee !

The y block Ford came out in 54 You're a year , last year of flathead was 1953

there a lot of first gen Camaro's in Tennessee junk yards and barns for some reason

My dad bought a brand new demont 88 back in the 70’s had a big block olds in it a 425,I believe. That car was the biggest POS we ever owned I think.

i like this guy .

Look at the firewall, truck isnt solid

The fenders and hoods ,trunks ,door panels ,were mostly stamped in Mexico and sent to the ,U S TO BE ASEMBLED AT THE PLANTS ,,,,,in the beginning they would stamp Mexico into most of the parts but people were saying the cars were built in Mexico and started to qwestion as to weather the cars were American made and wouldn't buy them so they stopped stamping the metal ,,,,,mostly all cars ,,,NOT ALL OF THEM ,are now even assembled in Mexico but it's a big secret dodge is noted for it ,,,go sit at the train yard in Lorado TX and watch what comes out of Mexico there is a yard that holds all the cars and trucks acres of them that have come across with no drive shafts ,no Trans, no brakes no motors ,no air cond, all sitting in that yard waiting to b reassembled freightliner is noted for this they are assembled in Mexico,,,DO you remember when Wal mart would say everything they sold was American made? I know for a fact 💯 that the containers that came across the boarder came to the warehouse they would unload them and repackage everything to be stamped with the American boxing and packaging 📦 then reload it onto my trailer with all new packaging to go to all the Wal mart stores around the country ,,,,,no one even knows they have been lied to they payed so little for the product from Mexico, that it was worth it to repackage it and make 10 to 15 percent off of what they saying was American made because back in the 70s it was a big deal to buy American made products people wanted to keep America moving by paying for people who worked here ,,,,,now ,no one cares country's been sold out for yrs

You still in middle Tennessee?

It was the same thing as the heavy Chevy, just a marketing scheme .

When you think you have rare cool cars 😂

Caballero is a genteman.

Wow I made it 10 mn 2 guys who know nothing about cars

I would take that Chevrolet dog house off of it

Man...u can go to junkyard and get better cars

Lots of of junk

1st of all there isn’t anything classic in this video & secondly if you were to acquire any of these they would be a money pit!

You talk too much...

40 years ago I owned a 1973 GMC Sprint it was black black interior council automatic bucket seats

I thougnt the XR7 WAS 390 POWERED, BUT I COULDBE WRONG,, and factory mags , not hubcaps

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1133">18:53</a> - almost the end of the video...🫣😅
