    Hi Guys,

    After a 1969 Buick Sport Wagon presented four years ago, here is my new skywagon: a 1972 Olds Vista Cruiser.
    I wanted it Pinehurst green, with the 350 engine, without A/C and without the roof rack option and as original as possible.........and i found it.
    It's a California car. Great shape but not perfect. I still have some work to have the car i want.

    Welcome aboard!
    Looks like you've found a nice example. It does look great in green with the woodgrain, too.
