1970 cutlass cruiser (flat top) wagon.350-2. Last year it just turned 30,000 miles. I bought it with 25,000 on the clock and it has been one of THE best running, driving cars I have ever owned. Originally bought new by a man in his 60's from Frink olds-chevy in ashland oregon, it had moved then to TX at one point and I found it in the midwest. One repaint in enamel that shows well despite a few nicks and scratches. One look underneath tells the story of where this car has been. This is one of the most solid cars you will find. Original runs and overspray of it's original aspen green color adorn the undercarriage. The factory "blackout" treatment they used on the front suspension parts can still be seen on the oil pan. There is still the green dip that the e-brake hangers were coated with to prevent rattling on the floor. The doors shut with the slightest touch, and all the weatherstripping is there and soft. There is no evidence or rot or scale anywhere on
this car top to bottom. The interior has survived over the years to an almost unbelievable condition. It looks as if it never made a trip to the lumber yard. I added a arm rest front seat and had the original pattern matched. I do still have the original seat which has a split seam that just happened last season. A/C was converted years back to 134 and works fine. Car has a posi rear of unknown ratio and a w-27 cover. Has a nice set of duals which have a nice mellow tone and exit on the sides. I added the NOS wheel covers and double line whitewalls for the straight out of the brouchure look.Manual rear window and 2 way tailgate operates perfect. Car has the light group, disc brakes and a hood lock. This is a fly in, drive home car as that is what I did when I got it a few years back. We have enjoyed it immensly and we took it on regular family vacations and literally loaded it up. If you don't mind the attention and family stories recollecting the
family wagon days anywhere in public than this is the car to have. $17,500. 414-688-0604 http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/wagon-1.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/wagon-1.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/newtires.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/newtires.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon101.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon101.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon103.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon103.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon106.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon106.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon108.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon108.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon111.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon111.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon112.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon112.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon117.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon117.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon119.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon119.jpg.html)http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p45/jstrits/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon120.jpg (http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jstrits/media/1970%20cutlass%20wagon/cadillacandcutlasswagon120.jpg.html)

Damn! That's nice! If that were a 70 Chevelle wagon we would be having a conversation..... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

We have used it two years in a row to travel &quot;up north&quot; I've taken it with my dad to carlisle pa (1500 mile round trip) with no issues.

The car is a flat top and thats what makes the car valuable plus the condition. The price in my opinion is way below market.

Love the car but I'm not sure why you (67 442) think the flat roof would out pull a Vista Cruiser? I think it's sleeker but the market has always seemed to favor the glass top car due to its uniqueness.....

So many Vistas out there the flat top is unique to the market and in this condition. I am drawn to the special oddities on the market not the same car you can buy at any used vintage car lot. Also unrestored cars can be and should be favored more than a restored car.

A GREAT looking wagon! My garage is on overload now, or that would be my W-31 tow vehicle. I bet that car ends up overseas.

Beautiful car GLWS.

Brings back memories as a child. My mom and dad bought a 72 Vista Cruiser off the showroom floor when I was a kid. The car was yellow with wood appliques, and a parchment interior. I remember my mom jumping in the car and zooming off the showroom floor. I was 8 years old and my mom was 26. That was a big day.
