Excellent tailgate, Tailgate motor work great, Great looking Dark tinted Vista Cruiser roof windows, Excellent side glass, Nice rear bumper.

Update: I still have this tailgate as of 15 March 2017

 

These pictures are probably the reason I can't sell the car as a complete car.

 

The rear seat is in great shape, of course the seat covers aren't any good.
The jump seat is in excellent condition.
Good driver door panels.
Rust free doors.
Great looking roof.

 

I don't understand. It's complete; just needs a lot of love

 

In the Northeast that's "rust-free"...

Seriously, this photo is the problem, as it screams "roof window pinchweld rust":

 

I'll post some pictures of the roof later in the week.

 

Really? That looks more like the interior panels were simply baked in the sun to me. I don't see rust, just discolored panels... are we looking at the same thing here?? If we are, I'm shocked. SHOCKED I tell ya Joe

 

I'm interested in the door panels if theyr'e any good..

 

I need some good roof glass, with minimal delamination.

 

I agree with Allan. It looks like someone rode a few times with the rear window down. It would be ashame to part this car.

 

The damage on the sides is due to the sun. It looks as though the car sat with the driver's side facing the sun for a long time. There is no rust up around the windows or on the hardware, trim, rear tail gate, or side panels. Some surface rust in the center rear cargo hold, and major rust in the lower quarters.

That doesn't rule out a leak in the side windows where the quarter panel was damaged and repaired. Or a leak in the window seals.

 

I sold the bare body and frame today. I still have plenty of parts left including:

Rust free Tail Gate
Rear Doors
Rear door panels
Rear Seat
Jump Seat
Nice Dash Pad
Interior parts
ETC

I'll try to get some pictures over the weekend.

 

I pulled the rear seat out of the car today and took some pictures. Being from Colorado it's proving to be an easy car to take apart.

 

Good driver quality rear sun visors

The seat belt are so so. You may be able to clean them up.

 

Bump

Still a lot of good parts left on this car.

 

Do you still have the dash and is the radio hole intact?

 

RocketKid70

Yes to both questions.

 

Pm sent

 

This car is coming apart nicely, and easily. I have the rear compartment gutted out and surprisingly the car was way more solid than anticipated.

 

Still have the chrome tailgate pull/handle?

And the roof rack?

 

Yes to both

 

I don't expect these parts to sell very fast since these Vista Cruisers aren't as popular as the Cutlass models are so I am storing everything indoors, boxed up and labeled for future sale. The seats, hinges, tailgate, tailgate motor, etc are in really nice shape. Call or send a PM if you need anything.
Thanks

 

I replied to your PM, and texted you as well. Free bump.

 

The dash, roof rack and tailgate are still available.

Dash Pad $175.00
Roof rack $175.00
Tailgate $300.00

 

I still have a lot of parts including most all of the interior.

Jump Seat $250
Driver side Rear Seat $250
Passenger side Rear Seat $250
Upper Side Trim $160.00 for the set

Make offers.

 

Just wanted to thank you for helping me out with the AC manifold !

 

Tom, do you still have the carpet and if so is it any good? I would like the rear pieces. Thanks Greg.

 

Sorry
the carpet is gone

 

OK, thanks.

 

Bump

 

Does this have the same trim around the face of the dash as my 1972 VC? It's a long thin piece of trim in an inverted U shape.
I also might be interested in a good dash top, steering wheel, factory radio, the c-pillar, inside plastic covers...

Were the seats originally with fabric. I heard the Vista Seats only came in vinyl?...

 

I too would be interested in the lower cpillar but would be willing to buy all plastic pillar pieces as well

 

And the
Grilles if available still

 

IMO It's better to buy the chrome trim that goes around the dash from the aftermarket.

Sticky,
Send me a PM and we'll work out the details on the plastic c pillar trim.

 

Thanks Tom

Do you know a company that reproduces the chrome dash trim?

I was interested in the lower c-pillar plastic covers that Sicky didn't need. I should be able to repaint them in blue to match my interior.

Tom

 

Pleasure doing business with you. They were in ALOT better condition than my other ones. cant wait to get my interior done so I can add them to it

 

Excellent!

Thanks

 

Bump

I still have parts from this tear down. Including the tail gate, rear seats, jump seat, dash pad.
