I am finally motivated to sell my 1970 VC located in Southern California. It will be on ebay next week and sold for $1,600. The car now has the original green hood back on it too. Here is the craigslist ad:

1970 Olds Vista Cruiser the car with the windows in the roof. Original California car with original blue and gold plate issued with the car. Options included ps, p/brakes, air, third row seat. New windshield, front seat and carpet on front. Rebuilt engine 350 4 barrel, aluminum intake, headers and flowmaster mufflers. Body is nice with older paint. Car needs to be sorted.

It will be sold with a bill of sale and was out of the California DMV system years ago. It will need to be transported but will drive on to the trailer. Lee

Man I want this car! Why can't you be closer to Georgia?



Mike

 

This is it Rob. That car on the east coast would sell for twice that! Shoot, we impulse bought the "70 we are doing now....too embarassed to say how much we paid for it........make the deal dude!

 

x2,reallybadly.Thats a great price too!
Ted

 

It is finally going to sell. Several people are interested so it will go to a new owner soon. By the way that is the bottom price. The 70 is virtually rust free too not even rust in the fender bottoms.

I am going to keep my 5 speed stick 1971 VC, love it. Lee

 

What is wrong with the car? you said it can be driven on a trailer bet needs to be transported

 

Yeah. In my personal experience, if I can drive a car onto a trailer, I can pretty much drive it across the country.

But then, you should see some of the things I have driven...

Car had a fresh engine non running when I got it. Needs tune, exhaust finished, tires. Generally sorting. Not driven or registered since 1990.

Lee

 

No exhaust, bad tires, sitting for 20 years -- sounds like most of the cars I drove before I was 30 .

- Eric

 

Me too

 

Eric: Lets spin it to rust free car with fresh hipo 350. I am trying to sell the car not keep people from buying it. It has headers and flowmasters, just needs exhaust run to the back of the car. Really loud now and does not sound like a family car station wagon. Lee

 

Hello Lee, any pics of the 2nd seat and the insides of the cargo area? Thanks Andy

 

Lee, was it ever re-painted? Did it ever have woodgrain with the trim? Nice car for the price!

 

has been repainted and had woodgrain. Lee

 

Finally have a couple serious buyers at the bargain basement price. Lee

 

Lee I forgot to ask if it has power disc brakes or just power drums all around?

 

disks............Lee

 

Thanks for all of the information you have given me on your wagon. John in Tucson

 

Hello Lee did your wagon sell?

 

Still available

 

I guess shipping it to Ontario is out of the question!?Wish you were closer, that's the wagon I have been looking for-it would be on my hoist by now-wonder how much it would cost to ship?

 

.25-1.00 per mile so more than the car

 

1640 miles to my doorstep,plus duty etc-still worth it due to your asking price-anybody out there shipped a car from the US ?any thoughts?

 

Hello Lee, pm sent, I found that it will cost between 200-250 for the title, it will need to be a bonded title. Thanks John

 

Moderate action on the Vista Cruiser, in line John, Ben, Mike and one other. Still unsold and the ball is in John's court. Because nobody is local and shipping is involved in this deal, I am doing this pecking order thing to make sure the ultimate buyer is happy with the purchase. If John bows out Ben will have next option on the car. I can't do first one to send money because I feel the due diligence is important and the deal must be right for the buyer. Plus I don't want to be booted off this site, it is too much fun.

Lee

 

John is out, Ben is next up............Lee

 

Pending sale to Ben, Mike on deck.

Lee

 

Wow what a deal........
too bad im across the country.......

 

looks like the car is actually going a long way $700 shipping

 

It needs to go further.



Mike

 

Lee, you've exceeded your private message capacity!


Mike

 

Ok I will make room

 

The VC is on it was to the new owner. Ben had to go through two shipping companies and three weeks to finally get a good company. Got a killer deal on shipping inside a trailer even. Thanks for all your interest and this site for finding a good caretaker of the old car. I am glad I resisted parting it out. I am down to 4 collector cars! Lee
