New guy from Az
Hey everybody! Just want to pop in and say hey to everyone and introduce myself and my recently acquired Oldsmobile. I'm a broke 22yo college kid who has been trying to acquire this car for a few years and I finally was told to come get the keys a couple months ago. So here is the car.
1977 Vista Cruiser, its got just over 60K original miles. I have every piece of documentation on this car except the window sticker. I pretty much saved this car from the scrapper as it was just sitting. It ran but very poorly, it barely idled when I got it and you had to floor it for it just to stay going. But now it runs like a top. (minus the fuel pump starting to weep the other day). Anyways, here are a few pics!

Spectacular looking car! Trade ya my walrus jaw bookends for it 
.
Is that Cruise control I see on the signal stalk? Kind of unusual to see a later model car with the radio delete plate.
Love the color - code 61 Light Buckskin?

Wow, what a great save. Love the radio delete (please do not cut that plate!), wheel setup, & power windows!! Does it have power locks too? Hope you can keep it original.
Maybe you can find a nice "regular" RH cluster if you end up installing a stereo. I have several spares but I never get around to shipping/mailing anything since I'm over my head with pretty much everything...
