    Well, I don't really want to sell this thing, but I just bought another car, a car I've been wanting for a long time so I probably shouldn't have both with limited garage space. I bought this a few months ago from the original owner, with the intent on keeping it. '65 Olds Vista Cruiser. Daily Driver.

    There's a slight leak on the rear main seal. When I bought the car, I was told it was an original 330. It's not....it's an Olds 350 with a TH350 Hydramatic. I prefer the Hydramatic over the power glide.

    I just put new Hankook tires on it less than 300 miles ago. I also bought a whole bunch of new suspension parts (springs, air shocks, steering box, etc) that go with the car.

    Car was original a light blue metallic "Sterling Mist"...repainted at some point in white metallic.

    Car is very solid. Interior is very nice. One spot of rust under passenger floor, One spot in bottom of tail gate. Typical surface rust around the vista windows. Bumpers need to be straightened and rechromed. I have full factory body and chassis manuals for the car. Clean title in my name.

    Looking to get around 6K. If I don't sell it, I'll keep it as a tow vehicle.

    My first car was a 1967 Buick Sportwagon, basically the Buick version of the Vista Cruiser.

    Cool car!

    Memories. On rainy days, I would do my paper route out of the back of a '69 Dodge Monaco wagon. It was brand new, green with fake wood paneling. A friend and I would sit in the rear facing cargo seat and throw the papers out the rear window. Fun.

    Sweet ride. First car I ever drove was my dad's maroon '66 Vista Cruiser Wagon. Looking at the gauges and lights of that dashboard brings back memories. The turn signals on ours wouldn't self cancel so when I finally drove a car that did, I thought that was high-tech.

    66 Olds wagon, and a new FIAT 500 in the one photo behind your car, what a contrast!
