Rear Engine Vista Cruiser
I was looking around Craigslist and came across this '72 Vista Cruiser with a rear engine for sale in Colorado, talk about a grocery getter.
 I grabbed the pics, don't see anything like this too often. I wish it showed how it connected to the rear end, looks like an automatic so maybe just a shortened driveshaft, a stick would be a little more challenging I would say. It does have a trunk in the front now. http://denver.craigslist.org/car/781536596.html 01150501030601160120080803d058413cfaa3e2291b0008a6.jpg 01150601160401030820080803d4dbe48ac3ef02c4ee00edfe.jpg 0115080102060103012008080303d4c54b8b1049a49800b81e.jpg 01150901021001031220080803588982e53887e7585400e81e.jpg |

I saw that too. It is something else! Definitely a distinctive color!

This may have been a good use for that leftover Toro powerplant he had laying around... The 4 wheel independent suspension steers me to that conclusion... Recently I saw an article about a 455 Toro plant in a Corvair. The wheelie bars were functional on that one!

Not what I'd have done, but it is creative.

The colors make me feel sick. The idea is pretty good though. I agree that it is probably a toronado engine/transaxle setup.

If a Vista was gay, that's what it would look like.

That's the ultra-rare Sedan deVista option.

It should have woodgrain on the sides and then it could be a Vistawood.  As they say about Cadillacs "If it don't say wood, it ain't no good".I have had that pic for a while. I just found a Caddy wagon page and a better view of it is on there. I like the '71 Eldorado wagon, too cool. http://www.cadillacstationwagon.com/ Allan Last edited by Bluevista; September 29th, 2008 at 02:22 AM.. |
