I have never cared for him. Funny how he fought to own the car but it sits with no drivetrain?? I don't get it? Why even own it?

Interesting...thanks jaunty. Would have guessed it to have been crushed, recycled and reborn as a hundred toaster ovens and a washing machine.

Grew up in a '65 and '69 Vista amongst many other Olds.

I don't remember the nose being bashed in when it was on the show. Although I didn't watch the show...

I knew from reading other interviews he was kinda of a car guy. I also knew the car didn’t have a engine/trans. If it were me I’d have to have it running, but in otherwise as seen in the show.

How can any Oldsmobile fanatic male with a pulse not have an interest in That 70s Show?! Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, and all the other hotties from the show, and one of the main characters is a Olds!!!

I have seen it a few times. It can be funny. His character I just can't do. Plenty of cuties for sure. Peace to Tanya Roberts. If he were a real car guy it would be on the road. Not like he doesn't have the bank.

Yep punched nose and all. Wonder why the drive train was robbed.
There's an episode where Red and Eric are monkeying/bonding around under the hood. Want ta think it was a two-barrel.
Ahhh Laura Prepen, Mila Kunis...AND RIP Tanya Roberts.

Cool story loved and lived the show being a teen in the 70's was a blast

The mother was the funniest one in the show, IMHO, and Red was a close 2nd.

I can imagine hearing the producer saying to the prop department "I want to have in-car dialogues and I want a car that just everything about it says the 70's so go get me one, it has to be big". I think it's way cool and a tribute to everything about the seventies that they chose a station wagon and a compliment to Oldsmobile that it turned out to be a Vista Cruiser. Wilmer is an actor and the car in it's condition reminds him of his early years as an actor. I am a car nut and it reminds me of my early years wrenching on my second Oldsmobile, a 1971 Cutlass. I would have it running but he wants it just as it was, I respect that. We have many members on this site tha own the very car that they had when they were young or a suitable replica of it for that very reason. Memories.
