1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass Custom

Up for sale is a super rare first year numbers matching 1964 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Custom Series 9-passenger wagon with factory air! Some of its newer or notable points include:

Dual exhaust all the way out to the rear. Very expensive gel batteryEngine has been chromed out with period Mickey Thompson valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. Also new chrome alternator.
It's just been completely tuned and serviced and runs like a top! The transmission shifts correctly and doesn't leak fluid. or the motor oil for that matter.
The factory air components are all hooked up. but it needs a shot of Freon.
The interior is mostly original and does show some wear and tear (patina). The front seat has been reupholstered in the original design and color. The dash pad has been replaced at some point and is in decent condition. Has a new gas gauge that works. All lights. horn. ORIGINAL RADIO. turn signals. wipers. heater. etc. work with a new antenna.
Brand new tires and a set of American Racing wheels with less than 500 miles on them!
New shocks and brakes
Rear tailgate has power window that works and the gate functions properly.
Just repainted in its original color of Provincial WhiteRear two seats all fold down for hauling. which is a really nice feature.

It's got some rust in the usual Vista places (quarters. rockers. floor pans. around the windows. etc. ) and the upper glass will need some repair work (no leaks though). but it does have all the original sheet metal. quarter panels. etc. It's got quite a bit of potential and makes a nice appearance as you can see in the pictures especially as a driver. which is what we've used it for. Not a show car. more of a go car.   According to the previous owner. it was owned before him by an Olds mechanic of 30 years. which is why it is so well-maintained mechanically. The odometer shows ~81. 00 miles. but the drivetrain has less on it. I've personally driven it over 200 miles this summer without a single issue!

It's one of 7000 built originally in the top of the line Custom series. making it a rare wagon with so many factory options! All in all. it is a running working wagon and a fantastic example of a rare 3-seat Vista Cruiser survivor from the first year. Rare 1960s Oldsmobile wagons are extremely collectible right now. a 1963 Oldsmobile Super 88 Wagon just sold for over $15. 00 and a 1968 Buick Sportwagon (Buick's answer to the Vista Cruiser) is asking $18. 00! This is extremely rare and the top of the line! My Dad did a lot of general maintenance. detail-work. etc. over the last 3 months. We have a clear Ohio title with no liens. Below is a break-down of the VIN and Trim Tag along with the NADA book value and some additional pictures.
