    Now the wife knows she's got the golden goose! :rofl2: $17,500. Great work, regardless of appraisal. :thumbs2:

    What a beautiful wagon. That VC has to be the nicest one I've seen. You have to be so proud of yourself and of the Olds. That is nothing short of stunning. Excellent, excellent job; it's obvious you took no shortcuts. Wonderful job.

    Wow that is beautiful. If it were my car I would put it on a rotisserie and flip it over and just stare at the undercarriage all day. Job well done.

    Thanks!:) Means a lot, if the Vista were Sally Fields she would say "You like me, you really like me!":rofl:
    I know you guys appreciate wagons and the resto fun, twice as much work as a two door, maybe three times, and parts?
    It was a labor of love, never thought it would be worth anything, I don't have $17,500 in it, I don't think?;) I'm not selling it so no matter. Everybody kidded me and asked me "Why a wagon"" when I got it.
    Now I can show it to them and say "Why a wagon?...that's why".:D

    "why a wagon?" I've been hearing that for years.....buy a new truck or a SUV, why drive a old wagon?

    They just don't understand;)

    Thanks again all y'all.:)
    I took her to the big local cruise-in Tuesday for her debut, it was Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Cadillac night. There were a lot of nice 442's, GTO's and Buicks GS models there but everybody was looking at the Vista.
    I won the sponsor's choice award, a Cadillac the club choice.:clap:

    my response would be...."well, i cant remember the last time i saw a wagon like mine restored...but i saw a Camaro just like yours last week...except he had a bigger motor!". that will make him feel special
