Who carries general or restoration parts for Oldsmobiles in general or specifically for my 67 Vista Cruiser? I am used to Chevys that you can buy parts for from a hundred different places but I haven't seen repro parts for the Olds.

 

Too many to list. Probably easier to do an internet search

 

As noted, there are many (but yes, unlike Chevy, repro parts for Olds do not grow on trees). Many parts are common across all A-body cars (suspension, HVAC, inner sheet metal) and often the Chevy suppliers are cheaper. Olds specific parts (trim, outer sheet metal, upholstery) are available from Olds specialty vendors like Fusick, Supercars Unlimited, and USA Parts Supply. OPGI, Year One, and The Parts Place also have a good selection. Steel Rubber is best for rubber parts and Legendary for interior. Most of what you will find is for the 2dr Cutlass/442 models. Vista Cruiser parts are not as well supplied. Keep in mind that the VC has an extra 5" of wheelbase as compared to other 67 A-body cars and all of that is in the back seat area. Rear doors and floorpan are unique to the VC. You can get carpet (I used ACC for mine), but no one sells pre-made upholstery or door panels. SMS is a good choice for correct materials and door panels. They may be expensive, but at least they are very slow. The quality is high, however.

 

Most mechanical parts are available through your local auto parts stores or Rockauto (don't forget to get a discount code). Summit and Jeggs are good for performance parts.

 

And, my obligatory response to these posts - for your sanity, do not use Brothers Automotive Parts, unless you enjoy frustration, poor attitudes, and lousy service.

 

Also, be careful with Inline Tube. Good stuff, but customer service has issues.

 

ILT does have a lot of the otherwise hard to find detail parts, but most of their inventory is for the 1970-72 cars.

 

This thread should be a sticky, lots of great info on where to source parts for us newbies

 

I always check Rock first for a wear part. They get new stuff all the time and handle ACC carpets, Metro weatherstrip etc. I just checked for your VC and sirprise, sirprise. they even list glass!!!

 

My first choice also, but be aware that there are a number of effors in their on-line applications catalogs. For example, they don't list motor mounts under Oldsmobile, but if you search for them by part number, the Anchor 2261 and 2328s are not only available but about $4 each. Same thing goes for Moog suspension parts. In other cases, their listings are just flat wrong. I always get the part number independently then order by P/N if there is any question.

 

Wow, great info guys. This is good stuff. Thanks

 

On the stay away from list. Billions and Trillions of parts. They claim to have everything and anything, all like new and super cheap. Search the net and you will find the exact opposite. With having said this I might just have started another avalanche of guy on this forum tearing that company to shreds! Sorry if I once again brought up all those painful memories guys.

Just got the emergency brake cables for my 62'. Starfire back from Inline Tube. The process was timely, factory like duplication and very good customer service.
