'67 Tempest or '70 Vista

I guess I need to update this thread, since a few things have changed. TWICE.

The first change is that I did sell one of my wagons. Since I didn't really want to let either of them go, I basically listed them both for sale and thought I'd see how it panned out. I figured I couldn't go wrong with keeping either of them.

I had a couple people interested in each, but nothing really serious. And a couple people that I didn't feel like my wagon would have been the right "fit"... Yes, I was being picky. I felt that they needed to go to a good home.

Then I got a call from a guy in Wisconsin. He said he used to own that Vista and wanted it back. He proceeded to tell me stuff about it that I hadn't published and even stuff I hadn't noticed about the wagon. He lost it about 15 years ago and had been looking for it ever since. So he flew down and drove it home, happy as can be. I think it went to a good home....

So I've been driving the Tempest and I love it. But for some reason I've been contemplating a move up to the full size wagon and have considered selling the Tempest to find a Catalina or Bonneville.

Who knows, maybe gtoguy02645 can find me a nice '66 Bonneville and we'll trade?

 

I love stories like that, where somebody's been looking for a car they regretted selling years ago and finally found it. I can't think of a better home for it. Good job, TeeJ.

 

Hey, teej....do you remember WHERE in WI the guy was from? I just may know who you are talking about.

 

Yep, Andrew from Appleton WI.. On the Oldsmobile site he went by DrCutlass. That him?

 

Nope....not the guy I was thinking about. But I am familiar with DrCutlass online.

 

Hey guys, that kinda funny I used to have an old '66 Catalina that I was restoring, but I let it go...

(and kind of a side track but where did you get thoes spinners for your mags on the Vista? I have a country sedan with slotted mags and I saw thoes spinners and I really really like them!)

 

Yep, I remember that car. Might have bought it if it had been a 9 passenger. Keep your eyes open for me... You seem to be quite adept at finding/trading cars.

As for the spinners, they came with the Vista when I bought it, but I think I found some and have a link. I'll drop that to you when I find it.

 

Will do, but those Pontiacs are a hard bunch to come by. And thanks, if you find that link let me know, those spinners really set off the mags
