1973 Vista Cruiser Station Wagon-31k miles - $8000 (The Villages)

http://ocala.craigslist.org/cto/4885733603.html

If your looking for a low mileage station wagon for the large family, transporting stuff or as a play car, you need to see this 73 Oldsmobile, blue on blue wagon with all matching numbers and 31k documented miles. This wagon is equipped with a 455 4-barrel Carburetor, HD turbo 400, 8 3/4" 12 bolt posi-traction rear with air shocks, factory full dual exhaust, power steering, power disc brakes, A/C, sun roof and poverty hubcaps. I've owned this car for 10 years. Recently I was asked to bring it to a car show and it won the PEOPLES CHOICE award. Seems everyone has station wagon memories of family vacations and drive-in movies. Non-smokers, no pets, no kids. Please leave your name, phone number and/or email address for responses. Thanks...

 

Here it is:

Here's the previous thread. The car was in California at the time (2013), and I recall it being for sale a long time. It was also in HMN at some point, if I recall correctly. Sorry, but the old photo no longer comes up. But it was the same blue in and out with the 455 and plain hub caps.

Where?
I still can't get the thread to come up. If this is the Florida Villages that's only 100 miles or less away. Sounds like a winner. Still i don't need a 455.

 

Another previous thread on it from 2013.

I looked at this car a couple of weeks ago. The owner is a really nice car guy, he will give you an accurate account of the car. It has a lot of potential but a little to much work for me. It will be a nice project for someone.

 

Too much work? what is up with it, looks fine in the pictures and with the asking price, it should be in great condition? I sent him an email about two weeks ago and no response. Feel free to pm if you like.

 

Curious myself...car looks to be in great condition. Guess you never know until you see it in person.

 

Bentley can you elaborate on the to much work...

 

Seems as though this wagon has been around. I do see the photos now and it looks very nice. Curious about all the work needed. From the photos it looks like nice driver. How old are those pictures? Those could be California Palm trees.
