1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Cutlass 442
Clean Clear Illinois Title In Hand
No Reserve
Up for auction is a very nice and clean Vista Cruiser wagon. I purchased this car about 5 years ago from the original owners son. This has been a very fun and reliable car for me and my family. We have taken many trips in it and now it’s someone else’s turn to enjoy. This is a pretty high option car for in its day. It has factory power windows including rear tail gate which are all still fully functional and work great. It has a tilt column, factory am/fm radio (works but reception isn’t the greatest). Factory AC that blows very cold on all speeds. It has a dual action tailgate that works properly in both positions.
Motor:
All original numbers matching 350 with a 2 barrel
Trans:
Original 350 completely rebuilt approximately 2500 miles ago.
Rear End:
Original 10 bolt, unsure of the gear ratio but do know it’s factory.
Interior:
All original in great condition with the exception of the front lower seat that was recovered by the previous owner. That being said the bottom part of the seat is a darker shade than the rest of the interior. As you can see in the photos the seat appears to be ripped but it is actually just the stitching starting to come apart.
Exterior:
Good driver/cruiser condition. No rust around the roof windows. Rockers, doors and fenders are very solid. Tailgate has some blisters on the bottom edge (common on these cars) but otherwise great condition. Passenger spare tire well has the normal rust you see on most of these GM wagons but repairable with minimal work. Right front fender has small crease in it from previous owner. And passenger doors have some small scratches on them.
Here are a list of all the new parts/items that I have replaced on this car within the last 3 years/3,000 miles:
