Welcome to CO Cutlass fleet owner.
Everybody's going to want to see pics.
I'm just finishing up my Vista and I know what it costs too, that's a real good deal.
I never figure on making anything on a car but to restore a wagon is a real labor of love.
Everbody wants them and says they're worth a lot but nobody's willing to put their money where there mouth is.

Welcome to our site!!! Yep... we need to see pics of your fleet!!!! I took my drivers test in my brother-in-laws 72 Cutlass, and I was hooked!!! I drove a 72 up until 1990, (not one as nice as "The Prettiest One" I have now, of course!) but I sure loved em! Then I went to an 85 Cutlass, then to an 84 Delta 88 and an 85 Delta 88 , which I traded in on a 1998 Intrigue in 2001. God I love Oldsmobiles!!!!!! Glad you decided to join us!

$6,500 would be a pretty good price. The Old Cars Price Guide puts the value of a '72 Vista Cruiser in showroom condition, which it sounds like yours is close to, at right around $6,000. Two or three-seat make a difference of about $100 in value (three seat worth more).
You might be interested to know that there were almost exactly twice as many three-seat '72 Vista Cruisers made as there were two-seat (21,340 vs. 10,573). The original base price of the two-seat was $3,866, and for the three-seat it was $4,008.

That was pretty good money back then, no wonder nobody in my neighborhood had one.
With those production numbers it's weird how most of the ones around are two seaters?
