Really nice '67 Olds Vista Cruiser wagon.

• Very original and complete. Has original owners manual, window sticker, even the protect-o-plate warranty card. 330 V8 and optional 3 speed Turbo hydramatic transmission work like they should. Nice interior. - some has been redone, some excellent original. All the roof and side glass in excellent shape. Windshield has small nick. All the chrome and stainless is there and in good shape. Even the clock works! I just went through the car and did everything to make it a fun driver: tune up, fluids, radiator, battery etc. I personally would not hesitate to jump in this car and drive it anywhere. Fun car that gets attention every time I take it out.

We had a Buick Sportwagon back in the early 70’s that I got cheap from an acquaintance.  Even with a ton of miles on it the darn thing ran well and never let us down. Even a couple of longer trips were good. Nice to see this Olds looking so good.

Great body style in a seldom seen color.  The wire caps are nice.

Great car, nice price.

Seems to have been well taken care of. You could purchase this car, enjoy it for a few years and sell it for what you paid for it IMO.

I love this car, too. My only complaint is for that kind of money, the seller should go out and find another rear bumper. OTOH, rear bumpers for sixties Olds can be hard to find...my '63 Holiday Coupe bumper was rare and relatively expensive.

 

I share Jay Leno's amusement at Olds calling these cars "mid-sized." Not only were they big, but the slab sided body styling made them kind of look like full sized cars from other brands. Still very cool, though. 😉

First, yes, it's an attractive car.  How much does the incorrect interior hurt the value?

[suchan]

If it had a correct interior, seller might be asking $20K-plus.

Vista Cruisers have always been popular, and this one's clean.

I guess if you stay in this hobby long enough, you run into this type of situation. I got my car back from a shop after it was being "restored" after a few years. The car was missing the bumper and the gravel deflector (fits in between the bumper and the trunk. It took me three years to find the bumper and I still have not found the gravel deflector. Both parts only fit a Super, or Roadmaster for 1940. If I was in the market, the bumper wouldn't stop me.

A good shop could straighten and rechrome the bumper.

I agree.

Another way of looking at it:

The dent gives it a little character. 

Better to buy the car with a dent than for the new owner to be repsonsible for it; it's guilt-free.

Just my opinion.
