Hey gang, this might be old news... saw this Matchbox at the store tonight. Pretty cool!

 

I've been looking but can't find one yet, Missed out on the 64 Vista Johnny Lightning too

 

Great - now i gotta stop at the store and get one.
Maybe this will end my Vista Cruiser wanted thread!!

Where did you find yours?

 

No it will just leave you wanting more.

I found one at Kroger.

 

Yes, Kroger's local brand store "Fred Meyer's" in Portland, OR is where I saw this one.

There are a few there if anyone wants me to pick one up- just let me know.

 

I will be in Oregon the first 2 weeks in October so maybe I will get it then. Brookings and Warrington have a FM...
I sure like Freddie's - I found some really neat stuff there when i was in Oregon last year. Good prices on wine and food, too.
Hard to believe they are owned by kroger - kinda scary in a way.

 

I have all the Johnny Lightning 70's, which are really 71's BTW, may be cast from the same mold.

I hope they do that Lesney version in blue, it has the best detailing and actually has wheel covers instead of those funky mag wheels and big tires.

 

My bro just got two today! Of course, he gave me one!.....It's black, very rare, with saddle interior!

 

Augh!!!
That sounds like the real one I am hoping for!!!
I can't wait to go to Oregon next month so i can get some!

 

This cream puff is in Oregon, drive it home Rob.
It has the rare yellow upper radiator support deal too.
Black interior is rare if it is.

Maybe John/2blu442 can check it out for you, it says to call John... is it he hisself???

Not mine! But if it's spent its life in Central Oregon then you want it!!! Very dry, much of the precip is snow, very much a desert climate. The cars will have the paint weathered off by the sun but cancer type rust is non-existant. John

 

Blue, that looks like a nice project for someone for sure. Of course I am looking for something that has the exterior and bodywork and drivetrain pretty much "done".
Those require skills, time, and space I do not have.
Now I am pretty sure I can do repaint and bodywork on the Matchbox car though...

BTW John - see ya on October 2nd!

 

The nicest Vistas are in the northleft.
That one on CL in Albuquerque looks clean, just look for it when you turn left there.
Disregard the last sentence if you don't know your Bugs Bunny.

I'm getting sick of mine, I made it too nice.
I think I'm going to either sell it or go kick it then drive it into the ground.
I'll do an epic international road trip to visit everybody from here.
Be like my cheapskate brother, only visit people where you can get free room and board, I just need a driveway and a glass of water.
I can always say it's a motor home and spend my nights in THE Wal-Mart parking lots.


BTW...I checked my mileage...13.6 MPG.
I'm going to put a mast and sail on that boat.

 

Allen, baaaaack awaaaaay from the Vista!!!!!

You need another project car

 

I'm trying.
My priorities are all off, cars should come before college and medical bills.

I need a RodentRodVista.

 

Find a good project Vistaand I will tell you how I'd like it to be............
