damn, I wish I had the spare cash to pick this rig up. I have been looking for a vista cruiser for some time. Actually found one running out here a couple years ago. Needed left rear tail light and the grilles. Runner some guy picked up for parts then realized everything work and did not have the heart to part it out.
He sold it for $800.00. It was a 71.

no, I don't have a 442 with 600hp. That would be nice. It does have a transplanted 455 in it though.
I was checking and a friend of mine said he heard of a guy who has a Cutlass 455 that supposedly has something like 500 or 600hp motor in it.
He heard of him because this guys nickname is Yogi also. I also have a couple Cutlass' but nothing with that kind of hp though would be nice but with gas prices I would not be interested.

My mistake. It was your 76 Cutlass.

I guess you no longer have it.

Good luck selling the station wagon. I wish I could pick it up myself. It looks like an awsome car!

Unfortunately, I don't know too many wagon guys, and the few that I do, already have theirs finished.

With the body damage the price may be a tad high, but it does look like a nice car! If you need to sell it soon I'd put it on ebay. I know we all hate ebay at times, but you'll get better coverage there than any other method of selling it. I had a 1977 Delta 88 Indy Pace Car that I tried selling on and off for about a year. I was asking $500 and could get no interest. Finally I put it on ebay and sold it for $1100 plus the buyer paid $900 to ship it to the mid-west. You just have to find the right person and the car will sell itself! Good Luck! Also, if there's no rust around the top windows have some good photos to show that. I've owned four 70-72 Vista Cruisers and they all had bad problems with rust around the top glass. John

If your were near me I would at least come by and take it on a test drive. It isn't a Custom Cruiser but it is a station wagon, and station wagons are big. I like big cars.

Good luck selling it. If you don't sell it by this summer I might just have to drive out and buy it from you. Then I could put my 455 into it.

Hey the 400 runs pretty strong as it is. I'd rather put the time & money in the body. ( If it ain't broke don't fix it.)
