    That is a great looking wagon. But it's priceless!

    My mom had a 71 Cutlass 4 door post sedan in the same color combo, never seen a wagon in this color. Good looking car, wonder how mucho? :confused:

    If you ask you can't afford it. I think that was an old Mercedes add.

    It ain't easy being that shade of green.:cry:

    It looks like a 20 footer, didn't get much closer taking the pics.:confused:
    I can see from that far away that is has beat up bumpers, a rotted tailgate bottom and that it has '71 F-85 or Cutlass Cruiser grills.:(
    I bet there's a lot of other hidden surprises too. Metal brake lines that were replaced is always a rust-red flag to me, on real rust-free cars they rarely need replacing unless they were damaged somehow. There wasn't a real tow package option and dual exhausts weren't available as an an option with the 350 on the Vista Cruiser, only with the 455.
    That is a funky green, stock Olds color in '72.
    The two tone is optional, the top tailgate stainless strip is the wrong one for two tone too. It should have little projections on the bottom of the ends that match the trim at the bottom of the D pillars. It was replaced or they found the C and D pillar trim to make it a two tone car.
    The car could be nice, I don't do green so don't worry about me buying it if you're interested.
    I have no green to buy a car right now anyway.:biglaugh:

    Love the green. A neighbour had a Supreme 2 door in it, white vinyl top, too, but hers had the white bucket/console interior as well. Somehow, the wood takes away from the impact of the white, or the white from the wood. Either way, I don't much care for both on the same car.
