Picked up a new cruiser...
Vista Cruiser! Found a one owner car....original owner is 96 years old. His son-in-law was selling it. Got it at a "can't pass it up" price. I've been looking off and on for about 2 years for an old wagon...something to cruise in, something for road trips.
Needs a few things done to it, but it's DD quality right now. Interior is really nice in it. Couple of pics:

I helped a buddy restore one of those a few years back. If I remember right it had a 455 in it
it also had the glass roof in it. |

Now in 993 land ...

Very nice. I had a lot of oldsmobiles over the years. Mine ranged from 68-71. The 330 is a good engine and with a well tuned carb you can expect 15mpg. Yes, same as your average large SUV today.
For wheels I suggest you get the Olds Superstock1 which is period and make correct. These are reproduced now for little money:  The later Superstock2 wheel is nice too and usually painted body color:  Keep us posted. You can PM me any time if you have Olds specific questions. I know everything about hot-rodding these, engine swaps, 3 or 4 speed auto conversions, etc. etc.  G Last edited by aigel; 03-16-2014 at 09:30 PM.. |

Awesome. I like the Torque Thrust suggestion, classic for any old muscle car.
