This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements that certain Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock of Delta Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed on February 26, 2008 and previously amended on June 11, 2008, June 19, 2008, July 8, 2008, September 3, 2008 and November 6, 2008 and as amended by those certain Schedule TO-Cs filed on October 31, 2008 and November 7, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Tracinda”), and Kirk Kerkorian, an individual and the sole shareholder of Tracinda (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Schedule 13D remains unmodified.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

During the period from November 12, 2008 to November 13, 2008, Tracinda purchased an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (approximately 1.06% of the outstanding shares) in open market transactions for an aggregate price of $6,165,770, or $5.61 per share, before commissions, as set forth on Exhibit 9 hereto. As a result, Tracinda owns 37,228,000 shares (approximately 36.02% of the outstanding shares) of the Company’s common stock. The source of funds for these purchases was funds available under its Credit Agreement.

Tracinda purchased these shares because it believes that the Company’s common stock is significantly undervalued by the market. In addition, Tracinda supports the decision of the Company, announced on October 31, 2008, to consider joint venture alternatives, as well as possible partial sale transactions, involving the Company’s oil and gas interests in the Piceance Basin of Colorado.
