Sam Raimi's personal car, and also his signature car. He's had a 1973 Delta 88 in every movie he's made (including his western!).

Imdb has this in the trivia section:

"For obvious reasons, this is the only Sam Raimi film to date (2002) where his trademark beige 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 doesn't appear in its original form. However, according to Bruce Campbell, the car makes an appearance in the form of a wagon's chassis. He claims the car was disassembled and the chassis was used for the wagon." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114214/trivia

...I'm not buying it.

Hard to tell whether it's a 350 or 455.

Sam Raimi's own car, nicknamed "Classic" appears in any movie by Sam Raimi yet and many others (at least four by Coen brothers and many shotd by Raimi, Josh Becker, Scott Spiegel and many others). Is it possible to stitch that nickname to model name or something like that to maintain a full list of car's appearances? It's very rare for a single car to be featured in so many movies...

Not really, but in the future there will be a feature for linking cars in such case

There really, really needs to be a motoring show that does a detailed feature on Sam Raimi's Oldsmobile. I could easily watch it on Donut Media's site, for Halloween or maybe Jay Leno's garage.

Regarding the engine: One of the "Ash vs. Evil Dead" features on the car states that the Sam Raimi's original car has the 455 engine.
