If you would like to buy a rare car in the U.S., which is the best way to search? Cause traveling through 50states and 200000 cities might take some time
I've been looking a lot for the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, they built it between -65 to -72. I've found a new repaired one at:
Vista Cruiser for sale
That's 11500$ for the car, anyone that knows if that's a good price? Anyway according to an article that goes as this:
"Although base models were powered by a healthy 350-cubic inch V-8, if you have a race-car or a boat on a trailer you might look for the optional 455-cubic inch engine that makes this a very capable tow vehicle. Engines and transmissions are extremely durable, and all mechanical parts are easily available. Those hard-to-find trim parts can be located through various national Oldsmobile clubs. Several 455-powered Vista Cruisers have been listed in Hemmings Motor News recently, at asking prices around $7,000 for those in excellent condition. Prices for good running wagons needing work average about $4,000, which is about a tenth the cost of an SUV. "
Since Oldsmobile parts are rare in Sweden, I have to ideas, either buy a newly fixed one or buy one and have it repaired in U.S. before shipping it over to Europe.
The dream would be to get a -72 or a -69 edition in good condition.
