This is NOT your grandmothers grocery getter!
This 1967 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser has has some tasteful improvements. Gone is the wimpy 330 V8, now it is powered by a earth shaking 455ci Oldsmobile V8 with Offenhauser intake with a 4 barrel carb. backed by a three-speed automatic transmission with a B&M floor shifter. Auto Meter Tach, inside adjustable rear air shocks with gauge for load leveling. It is sitting on Craigers with white lettered B.F. Goodrich tires. It runs and sound amazing, with tons of toque and power.
Yes it can hold 8 people. When I was young, we would have all the seats folded down and have the all the kids in the neighborhood in the back, to go get ice cream or a slurpy, or best of all to go to the drive in to see a movie. My uncle had one and I road in the back, enjoying looking threw the roof windows, as we drove from California to Washington DC.
This example is believed to have been a southern car from new, and has been repainted once in its Saffron Yellow. The interior features an original A/C system, that is complete with no belt on the compressor (it does turn freely). The radio is missing. The exterior features wood grain paneling on the lower sides and under the rear window. The Vista Cruiser features a 4-piece skylight, including two forward facing and two side panels. The power rear window works correctly. The seats have all been redone at some time and shows limited wear and tear. The odometer shows 17,094 miles TMU. This three-row wagon includes a forward-facing third row that is accessible via a partial folding middle bench. Sun visors are provided for the middle vista windows. The third row stows fully flat, and additional under-floor storage compartments.
I can promise you that if you buy it, people will stop you and ask you questions, tell you stories and smile when they see it. Yes it is fun to drive, and it can still carry a lot.
