I picked up two identical Del Rey's earlier this week from the original owner. They are definitely 1984's, what with the gold rims and all. Not almost new like yours, but excellent used condition, no rust, only very minor scratches, decals fine, all original components, for $100 total for both. I immediately sold one to a work colleague and am going through the other one now, repacking bearings, tweaking.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well these Del Reys ride, very nice responsive frame, I think the bike is a blast and good looking to boot. After I get done with mine, I'll have to figure out whether to sell it or keep it.
