Yes very interesting. I had a 67 Vista and loved it. This one looks to be the low cost model with very little chrome. It also has the F-85 steering wheel. If original the car may have been ordered for towing. 3 speed automatic and Rally-Pac.
U21 Rally Pac was an available option on the 1967 Vista. Whether or not it was actually factory-installed on this car is a different question. The car has obviously been rebuilt, so who knows what was done to it in the interim. SS I wheels were specifically not available on the Vista, since Vistas got HD steel wheels, but obviously these are aftermarket anyway. And yes, the three seat Vista Standard did not come with the chrome. One would have to check the VIN to tell whether this is a Standard (33465... VIN) or a Custom (33865...VIN) that had the trim removed.
Very nice looking car and I wasn't aware that color was available in '67. It looks more modern to me.
It could be Aquamarine, which is a lot brighter than this chip chart makes it look. My 67 Delta is Aquamarine. Of course, this car was repainted, so who knows.
To me it looks like a hodgepodge mix of a Vista and a Cutlass or F85 wagon. I thought all 67 Vista's had the side trim and wheel-well moldings. Tis car appears to have the F85 hood badge and no center chrome strip. The interior upholstery looks non original to a Vista. The tailgate has the Cutlass wagon chrome "Oldsmobile" molding.

Base model Vistas (3465 body code) did not get the trim in 1967.

Did not know that, just thought a Vista was the top o the line wagon so it got everything...my 67 Cutlass wagon has much more than this Vista... sans 3rd seat and turbo 400

Prior to the 1968 cars, the Vista was available in two trim levels, Standard and Custom. Standard was base F85 trim (rubber floor mats and all). Custom was equivalent to the F85 Deluxe trim level, later approaching Cutlass Supreme. For the 1967 model year there were 2,748 Standard models sold and 24,804 Custom models sold. That's why you rarely see the Standards.
And just one more data point, as I mentioned above, 3465 was the Standard Vista and 3855 (two row seating) and 3865 (three row) were the Vista Custom style numbers. Note that for 1967, all the other 34xx cars were F85 V8s and all the other 38xx cars were Cutlass Supremes.
This is my car. It's funny, I came to the site to post my 67 VC for sale and someone beat me to it. The car as I state in the ad is kind of an odd ball in how it was equiped. I can post an image ot the vin/data plate if interested. I really hate to sell this car but it is time for another to be it's caretaker.
As for the rims. I'm sorry you don't like them 1966442, I will ignore you and trust the many people who have positively complimented on my car.

Sharp looking car. Wheels and tires are a personal choice and easily swapped. Good luck with the sale. If you get a chance to post a photo of the cowl tag, that would be cool just for information.
Thanks. It's been a great fun car to own over these years. I love bringing it to shows. It truly makes the cars on either side invisible. People just love a wagon and always have a story.
