This 1967 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser (chassis 338557M186338) is a lifetime Arizona car that looks and sounds like a good driver. Fitted with many new parts, the Jetfire Rocket V8 was rebuilt 40k miles ago and the car is said to run well. It’s not perfect, but seemingly a solid platform on which to perform a mild rolling restoration. Find it here on eBay in Tucson, Arizona with no reserve.

Accurately cited as presentable by the seller, the car wears a 20 year-old respray in its original color. Recently buffed and waxed, respray was limited to the exterior–notice the deep scratches and chips on the inside of the tailgate. Faux wood paneling is mostly original. Roof rack seals were replaced during detailing, though the rack itself could still use attention. We like the car’s look with steel wheels and poverty caps wrapped with skinny white line tires, and would try to source close replacements as these are said to be old.

This is a cool shot, showcasing the Vista roof and the seller’s other cars, a bullet T-bird and a 59 Caddy sedan. Despite this car’s post Jet Age roots, the top somehow still fits in with that era’s wild, optimistic styling.

Carpet and seat covers are new and are an excellent match for original door panels. The uncracked dash, AM/FM radio and headliner are also original, though the latter is said to have some tears. Door seals are dried up and the driver-side switch for the passenger window is inop. Factory air conditioning works well after a rebuild and R134a conversion.

Rebuilt 40k miles ago, the 330 cubic inch Jetfire Rocket V8 runs well and stays cool. According to the seller, it’s a high-compression unit factory equipped with dual exhaust and 4bbl carburetor, the latter replaced with a remanufactured stock unit. While said to show ~150 PSI across all cylinders, the seller notes an oil leak, possibly due to freshly painted valve covers and intake manifold. The shortlist of new parts includes a radiator, brake booster and master cylinder, top end gaskets, Pertronix electronic ignition and fuel pump.

With a bit of detailing this one seems like it could shine, but would make a fine cruiser with just new tires and weatherstripping.
