I needed another car like a hole in the head but when you are an addict sometimes you can't say no. My convertible is for sale as you know. If it sells I need something to cruise. If it does not sell its coming apart for paint and I still need something to cruise. I don't need another major project right now so this fits the bill perfect. It runs and drives but smokes Its all original never wrecked and very solid. I need to fix the floor on the pass side and the core support is rusty under the battery. Minor rust at the windshield and thats it for the whole car. Rear seat, headliner, door panels and dash are near perfect. the front seat is rough though. The wheels are 15 x 7 original ET wheels.

It will be perfect for cruising and hauling the family around. Congrats.

 

Hi Richard!!
Welcome Booger!!
Coffee and donuts are available in the back of the room at anytime during group.
If anybody smokes you can go outside between the buildings at break.

That has to be one of the coolest type cars I've ever seen.
Two tone booger green at that.
Looks the same color as that girl's car that's on here all the time?

I didn't need another major project either but I caught the feared and dreaded "Mightaswells" after I brought the Vista cruiser home.
I've acknowleged that there's a higher power so far, one step at a time.....

 

Richard, I like Booger!! Sometimes it's hard to say no....

.....Looks the same color as that girl's car that's on here all the time?


Excuse me, sir?? Are you refering to me??

 

Sandy you need to get one of those for Larry. So you can have a his and hers Olds. That will give Blue something else to work on.

 

Cool car Richard, a flat top! Welcome to the brotherhood of wagons! A few years ago Hot Rod ran an article on Wagons with half a dozen nice examples. One of the comments made was what does a car guy do when he has a family... buy a mini van? NO! He builds a vintage station wagon!!!

Congrats, even though it's green

 

Looking at the pictures one more time I see it has the two way tailgate, that's cool. It also has a roof rack, something most Vista Cruisers have but most flat tops don't. Have you crawled over it enough to tell us what other options it may have? What kind of drivetrain it's got? From the grill panels I think its a 1972, is that right? John

 

Nice score! Great family cruising car with a baby being around the corner!

 

Cool Car! I think Chevy Chase used to own one of those!

 

Nice!

The roof rack rocks a great Family crusier

 

Today, Richard became a man....totally cool ride! Welcome Brother!

 

very cool, I'd love one of those or a vista

 

I love it Richard

Vera nice

 

It's not a station wagon, it's a crossover!

Richard, why don't you build it up to my specifications and when you plan to sell, I will be first in line - I still want a nice VC or flattop...

 

That is a very cool car...and I love those wheels. They look like Torque Thrusts. Nice score!

 

great find Richard, now you don't have to stop at just two kids, you can have a few more to fill up the car

 

Thanks guys. I have not let on to my affliction for wagons but its my 2nd favorite body style behind convertibles. This will be my forth wagon to own but the others were always on the back burner. The wagons I have had are 67 Chevelle, 64 nova, and 69 Impala 427 car. This will be a front burner project. I've got a 67 Cutlass 4 door hard top body that was going to be my buget cruiser project but it can go now that I have this.

 

Great find Richard!! That's the same colour as my first Olds...'68 4-dr. Cutlass. "Booger"...a name that will live forever in infamy!! Maybe breed it to the Prettiest One and get a true "crossover"??

 

Richard it's ok, tell your wife your allowed to pick your friends but your not suppose to pick your boogers!! so it must of picked you!!! LOL...

glad it is 2 tone for a second I thought it might have the vinyl roof whick is rare and funky looking on a wagon ( not for me personally)

Love the wheels!!

 

When you decide to sell that car plz LMK!

 

Anything is possible. PM sent

 

very cool car check out http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/index.php if you haven't - a lot of Olds wagon folk there very cool car - how about some interior pics pls???

 

I have a serious case of envy going on right now. Excellent find Richard. Next time I am down Dallas way to visit family I have to see it.

 

You are a true Cutlass connoisseur. Ill have to check it out as you start working on it.

 

I will be looking for this one cruising around Rowlett. I can see the possibilities of this becoming a 442 Wagon. I love the wheels and they would look great on a 442 wagon. This will be a classic case of "as long as you have _____ then you might as well ______".

Saw the email where the daughter's arm had slipped and she was going to have to have surgery. Sorry to hear that.

 

Nice find Richard. Will there be a restoration thread coming soon to the forum?

 

Not sure. I may just sell it to help regroup with the money draining things going on in my life right now.

 

Very cool. I love wagons. Need some interior & engine bay pics though!!!

 

Love the Car but Hate the name.

 

Wish I had the space for it!

 

What's that written on the pickup's rear window in the photo. I can read "No still means No,..Stop (something or other).

 

no means no stop health care if i read it right

 

Yes stop the health care bill.

 

Man that car looks like some fun! Looks like a great foundation.

 

That is an AWSOME car!

 

Wow thats how dad brought home the bacon great grocery getter!!

 

I am building a new shop and very broke so this is now for sale cheap. I need cash now. See the for sale section.

 

nice

 

Very nice!!!!!

 

Don,t be put off by green, Greens can be beautiful!.
