    '72 Vista Cruiser is the winner. Best bargain out of all of them, although the '82 Malibu isn't bad.....

    That vista reminds me of my childhood. We had one same color with the woodgrain but I believe ours was a '69. Are the body styles pretty much the same '69-'72?

    I don't know if it is by the same person or not, but, that 83 bu has been for sale on and off for a long, long time. It had to be at least 16-18 months ago that I looked at this car with the thought of possibly buying it before I got the Cappy. Not enough pix and too many unknowns, but, the parts in the car seem to be well thought out and correct. No interior pix to see and I would have to paint the car because of the top and I would change the hood. I think $5K would be reasonable if the car was completed....but it isn't.

    I like that little leaning tower of power with 4 on the floor. It's a rough looking car and not running, but, would be a fun car if you could get the engine running cheaply.

    No doubt....from what I can see from here....it sure seems like that VC is a deal. Although, I don't know why he has pix of 2 different cars? Also wonder what's up with the engine? Timing belt???

    Not only that, but he lowered the price from $29,000 to $1,700. Now THAT'S a price drop!

    Maybe that was a typo. Maybe the price should have been $2900 now down to $1700. Still a big drop...:)

    Yes, I think it was a typo. I was doing what is known as making a joke! :)

    Yeah, but the '68 had the coolest grill, with the park lights/turn signals between the headlights...
