Cool VISTA CRUISER PROJECT Cali Blue plate, Pink Slip and records>Even the MSRP!
1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
Thanks for taking a look at our cool 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. She's retired from the movie lot and is awaiting a return to her original glory.
The Vista Cruiser was cool the day it arrived! Those space age overhead portals served up the promise of seeing the world in all of her glory. And those rear visors! Not too much sun please!
She's a Time Capsule found in just the shape you want. Well optioned, Original Lady pilot owner, Western car, books and records. Yes, even the original MSRP, Protecto Plate, owners manuals, service receipts, Original Pink Slip and Both California Blue license plates. Even a full pouch of Los Angeles area AAA maps.
Rarity
Few and far between, Vista Cruisers are sought after by hot rodders and day 1 restorers alike for their iconic good looks and easy to source GM parts..
Exterior
Well, it was a nice medium blue from the data plate but at some point a light blue was applied. It's an inferior paint job typical of cars the shows use for background shots. Faux wood vinyl was added but like the paint, it is best at 20 feet or so.. Upon close inspection, rust is present on the body panels and roof. We don't see anything structural but your inspection is recommended.
Interior
Seating for Nine with a Forward facing third seat. Good glass. Rare Chrome plated Vista Glass. The interior needs it all but the bones are strong and all there. Air conditioning is all there but not blowing cold. Compressor turns freely and the belt is still on.
Wheels, Tires
3 correct wheel covers. 1 Pontiac unit.Tires are too old but work as rollers.
Engine
350 CID 4BBL Oldsmobile Rocket V8 runs and sounds ok. Started right up after a fuel system clean out. We only ran her for a few minutes and recommend a complete inspection and systems check prior to any driving.
Transmission
Automatic transmission.
Braking, Suspension
Front power disc brakes, rear drum
Trim
The trim is in fair to good shape. See pics. This is a project.
Glass
Glass is in fair to good condition throughout.

Comparables
Wagons used to be in every garage but few exist today. While this is a project with needs, it represents an outstanding value and a fantastic starting point for that Hot Rod Longroof or Classic restoration as well as being an appreciating investment in automotive art. Nice complete books and records really add to the appeal
Inspection
Please come inspect this great Vista Cruiser before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional. Please keep in mind that this is a 49 year old project car. It is not a new soul sucking appliance like the Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that's what you are after, this is not your era nor your car.
Transportation
We use a Worldwide transport network. Our cars regularly go to the east coast. Several have gone to Europe lately. We can help with setting up whatever you need. There is a page on our website dedicated to shipping information here http://www.driven.co/home/shipping/
