Have had and regularly used this Vista Cruiser in Connecticut since 1996. Reliably transported me to work and back, as well as hauled my family of 6 to various places for these 20 years. Car is NOT fully restored, though looks it. 3rd seat option car. Power Steering. Standard Brakes. Roof Rack, outside remote mirror. Original Engine& trans. Original speedometer broke after turning over once. Replacement shows ~ 15,000 on it now. (~185,000 miles on the entire car). A couple times off the road for some rebuilds and body work/paint. All suspension was taken out and all springs and bushings replaced 8 years ago. Floors had mild rust and was cut out, patched, and inside braces & entire inside floor black epoxy coated. Parts Car from Georgia allowed me to use diff. better tailgate, all doors. Car now has power tailgate window. I turned original 2-seat car into the 3 seat car you see now. Engine and Trans still run strong to enjoy,...not race! . Top end of the Engine taken apart in the last 8 years.Rebuilt Heads,New Valves, Timing Chain, Cam, Lifters, fuel pump, carb,radiator and Stainless Steel Brake lines. I take it easy on the engine due to age but still runs very well. Still some rust in the car in the more difficult to get to places without removing body (inner rockers poor, right rear body mount behind rear wheel poor). Car makes a beautiful appearance and is still a pleasure to drive and go to cruises. Car absolutely needs more work, so please expect to put some effort, time and money into this car. Worst problems: Frame is weak & rusted through in several places. As photos try to show: thru rust, on top of frame, just in front of trans cross member, just behind front wheels on top of rail- needs some attention. I've kept after it and kept it painted for most of the last 15 years. Repaired by welding new steel in, ALONG BOTTOM & SOME SIDE portions of primarily left side rail, but right rail too 15 years ago & that held up well. Rt-Rear sheet metalbodymount needs fixing per photo. Left Rear is like new and repaired well. Car was painted Gold 5 years ago(originally yellow), and after driving in all weather, except salt and snow, certain spots are failing again primarily around rear wheel wells. Lower front fenders just showing signs of needed care again, but are perfectly presentable. Rear lower quarters replaced and now excellent, no rust. All new belt line and door & tailgate surround weather strip installed after painting. Roof leaks with direct hose on front roof glass. I refuse to smear silicone. Car kept under canopy and I have not used in the rain much at all in the past 5 years. So, I live with the minor leak, gave the kids some character too! Roof and rear side glass rubber is original.I have more photos, so please email me & ask if you want to see more. Trans leaks badly at front seal primarily, but moves out great as long as fluid is up. I have not had trans out and has not needed a rebuild since I purchased car 85,000 miles ago. New Rear brakes and axle seals this past month. Recent tires. All interior gone through and redone to excellent. Front seat redone this year. 2nd & third seats are all original from Georgia parts car. Door Panels also all original. Note tears in small second rear lower seat and split also in 2nd left lower seat. Original headliner is excellent. Per photo, steering wheel badly cracked but functional & very small crack (been same for 20 yrs) on left front of dashpad (see same photo as str.whl). Original roof glass showing typical delamination signs. Only "options" are: Seat Belts all three seats, outside rear view remote mirror (from parts car too), power tailgate window, vanity mirror on passenger visor. If I had the energy/desire to keep it in the family, I would prioritize fixes as: remove-rebuild-re-seal trans. (Someone asked, so NO- I don't suggest any real long trips until trans is sealed up). Repair frame in at least two spots right and left front top rail. Fix right rear body mount-add new rubber, new bolts and frame rubbers at very back under tailgate area. Minor needs: windshield washer cannister and pump. Wipers work, but needs new switch. AM radio has never worked. OK with me! Numerous smaller parts rechromed. Rear bumper was rechromed. Front bumper replaced with good used one. All five Roof Rack stands pitted. Please ask questions. I have nothing to hide as I trust description & photos make clear. Multiple extra used parts must go with car: Front & Rear bumpers, original four doors, 2 tailgates, three roof glass sections, roof rack & box of miscellaneous parts collected over the years. Also have extra new exact matching self stick wood grain (tailgate will need another 52" piece soon). I have 55"x24" & 38"x24" sections. Also have new burgundy vinyl if one or two of rear seats are desired to be redone with same material as front seat. Appearance of car speaks for itself. Only you can decide on desirability. I hope someone loves it and takes it to a dry climate. If you want a cool car to go to cruises, short trips, car is still used regularly and is a pleasure to drive. Ideal for a younger gearhead father with multiple kids!
