    Hey, I bought the Cruiser from a man who had it for about 3 years and the car is registred in the Netherlands since 1999, so I don't know how the car got here........

    There are a lot of american cars here in the Netherlands and there are quite a few partshops here too(y).

    Some carbrands are difficult to get parts for (mainly sheetmetal).

    LOL Vista Cruiser of 24s




    You probably mean the valant has that slant 6 1 barrel carb motor. They used to use thoes as police cars and Taxi cabs since the slant 6 was the best motor anybodys ever built.

    I remember in school I drove the snot out of a 74 Valiant with that same slant 6. No antifreeze, no oil preasure and the dammed thing never quit. You just cant beat that Buzzin' Half dozen.

    Hey Anthony,

    There's this rumour going around that you've sold the wagon, is this true ?

    That's true Eric. The Vista Cruiser is gone........
    I traded the Cruiser for a Chevy Van G20 from 1988 (camper).
