Saw that a couple of days ago in my internet travels. Looks like it's been sittin' a while, but would make a good project......

 

Its not a Vista Cruiser so he wont get the money he wants.

 

Has the wrond front clip to be a 68, this is a 68 front...not the best pic but you get the idea. front head lites are spread apart and there is no body coloured centre piece in the grill.

Fat Tedy is right, that is either a 69 cutlass/F85 or a different year (68 or ??) with a 69 front clip.

 

It's a '69.
They didn't make many flat tops and they are way harder to find than the Vistas and have actually been going for more money.
Vista Cruisers have been selling for near nothing lately.

 

Good spotting, Tedy. That's definitely a '69 front end, not a '68.
How many of you know that in 1968, the side marker lights became mandated by the Feds? I believe it was also 1968 when the amber parking lights were required to operate with the headlights.
(I know that's way off topic, but I just thought of it and figured it would be alright.)

 

Cars might have been 68. On trucks it was 70. I put a 68 grille on my 71 truck (I like the aluminum grilles better than the plastic ones) and now my parking lights go off when my headlights are on. It can be changed fairly simply but I'm not in any hurry to do so.
