1970 Vista Cruiser For Sale

[455nut]

I've owned this car for 6 1/2 years. Hate to see it go although other projects take precedence. This Vista Cruiser is looking for a good Oldsmobile home. Price is $2500 firm. At $2500 I am not making any profit or even breaking even with what I have in the car. See details below photos.
