Hello, picked up a 1972 Vista cruiser in August, 455 dual exhaust. Always looking for parts. Its my first olds, always loved them, grew up in the 70's in a neighbor hood full of all makes of wagons, my Dad always had pontiacs which were nice but not as cool as the vc's. My other car is a 1970 dodge coronet r/t.

 

Welcome, show us some pics. A cool car for sure. Can't beat a b/b.

 

Here is a pic after I picked up rims and tires, originally had 14" white walls and hubcaps.

 

Very nice. Any under hood and interior shots?
We rally like pics here.

 

thanks, I will post when I take some. Interior is pretty good, could use c pillar pieces, sun fried Arizona car, pretty much rust free. Changed door seals, dry rotted. Under hood looks original, could use clean up and detail but not bad.

 

Looking forward to them. I had a 70 with a 455 back in the day.
Yellow with the wood grain stuff on the sides. Man would that thing
haul for a big 'ol boat.

 

Very nice. It is amazing what a set of tires and wheels can do for a car.

 

Welcome to the site, nice VC. I had a 68 Coronet RT that met an untimely end being T boned by a Mercury Marauder driven by a little old lady in a parking lot. Post some pics of yours.

Post a list of your needs in the Parts Wanted classified section. The guys on this site may come with a lot of your requirements.

 

Welcome to the group... Nice looking Vista... I owned a 71 VC years ago with that same color combo...

 

Very cool. I like that shade of blue.

 

Welcome aboard

Glad ya got an extra set of sunvisors

 

thanks, I couldn't agree more!

 

Thanks, no I don't, wish I could help you out.

 

Thats a bummer about your RT. Thanks for the parts tip, I will do that. These are the best pics I have in my phone right now.

 

 

 

Yeah I bet!

 

Thats cool, I am glad I found it. The first two I thought I was gonna buy were green, but that's another 2 stories!!

 

Your RT is sweet, mine was the same color combo only with white interior.

 

i remember as a kid riding in one a neighbor had. Yours looks better than the one I rode in 40 years ago. The Coronet looks awesome.

 

That is a great color combo, white interiors really set off the exterior color and vice versa.

 

Thanks Gary, what color was your neighbors?

 

Beautiful car and great pic of it, thanks a lot for sharing! Are you planning on doing some mods?

 

I'm just working out the small kinks right now, would like to eventually get the W-30 hood for it. It runs and drives so well I really just want to enjoy it right now without any major mods.
