I recently picked this 1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon up as part of a package deal from another car guy. Story is it came from New Mexico and had a 1968 455 Rocket Engine in it and was parked many years ago. After seeing that the engine bay is incomplete lets see if we can get the big block to breathe fire once again. If you’d like to own this piece of American history, it can be yours for the low price of $2,500 with a clear title. As always, thanks for watching!

Talky talky talky go away
Must been a parts car
Slap a 4 speed in it and you have my dream car. Oldsmobile vista cruiser W30.
No interior shots? Bummer they didn't leave you hardware and the shift linkage. Reminded me about what I commented on the other Oldsmobile. My buddy had the 455 2 barrel, and that those heads flowed better than the 4 barrel heads. Too bad she needs the vista window. Id almost buy that thing from you but then I'd have to have it shipped.
Old American wagons are on a big comeback now. These Vista Cruisers are the top ones, very collectible today.
The front bumper was bent by tow truck have had several olds this is a common problem cool car !
I am fond of all the old stuff you showed as well, the intakes and bell housings (trans adapters really) the wall hanger stuff. I love finding neat old things that are kind of rare but also worthless to an extent but they make really good conversation pieces and look great on the wall. Awesome.
edit: I wonder how many people's heads the Duffleupagus joke went over!
Rev lock nut
Very Nice, my sisters friend had a "cruiser" in the late 70's , man we get 10 or sometimes more and we go to the drivein good times. Thanks for the vid allways enjoy the education .
Why haven't you told everyone that DD Dan is your long lost half-brother lol
Wish I could afford that. The price is great! Just have other obligations. I’ve always wanted one of those and this one is obtainable.
I think that's a fold out step on that back bumper.
No interior highlights ? Shame one of the coolest cars so far . Vista cruiser you can literally cruise the Vistas . Good stuff as always. Sad to see it go tho.
Sheeit, I called you out for being an engineer months ago. Puddin was late to the party.
