It looks like a straight car. I had a 1968 model. I mean who didn't have a Sport Wagon in their automotive history? I would want to see it restored back to 100% original because you don't see them anymore, but you guys don't do that.
I sold a so called buddy a car several years ago. Cut him a HELLLLLL of a deal. All i asked was for my dead stepfathers wheels back. Never seen him again. If i ever seen him again id probably beat him till I couldn’t lift my arms.

Fibs looks just like my step dad and knows cars just like him 🤘🤘🤘are we ever going to see a grand National on the show I think that’s the best car ever made
Richard, I worked for a guy with an independent shop in Duncanville in the 80's who was an Oldsmobile specialist back in the day & this guy had 66 Toronados, 64-66 Olds 98's, REAL VISTA CRUISERS (Olds) & his partner had a PERFECT Vista Cruiser, it was green with a tan interior, I used to drive it! Those were great cars, it's rumored that John Wayne (the Duke) had one so he could wear his 10 gallon hat without hitting the headliner! I live in the San Antonio area, am working on a project in Laredo, dude there's all kinds of badass cars in both areas
That was some pretty impressive trailer maneuvering. Credit where credit is due. Videos like this are why I like the RUclips channel more than the show :)
My friend got a 68 in high school and we put old red teardrop lights in the front skylight windows. Painted the hood and grill to look like a dragon it was the Coolest wagon around. So many possibilities with that wagon and don't forget! Easy to work on😜 We used to set on the fender wells to do tune-ups but it seemed possible with all our 60's & 70's car's and truck's. Now I can't hardly fix anything because of all the computer crap.
Gowing up my parents had two of this style wagon, first was a light yellow’65 Buick Sport Wagon followed by a ‘73 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in a copper color with wood grain panels.
I would love to see another El camino - G body, Been working on mine for a year and one day it will be on the road. Keep brining these classics back to life
Hey Richard, cool wagon.👍🏽 Our Dad bought one in the 70s, Olds. Vista Cruiser I would be so excited to be drop of at school in that car, it had 60s all the way around on craigers!! And tinted windows too!! It was awesome.👍🏽 like to see what you do with it.✌🏽🤘🏽🇨🇱.
I remember my parents buying one of these brand new, white paint with the woodgrain. There was 4 kids and we would pile in and go to the drive-in on the weekends.
My Higschool Girlfriends Mom had a real Olds Vista Cruiser w/ 455 Rocket motor. This car was cherry in 1988. We would take it down back roads in Va. It only had a limited slip diff. It would spin the tire for days if you slung it around a corner. awesome tire smoker with plenty of room for the cheerleaders.
That makes me want to find one right now to do that too man!! That is so beyond cool 😎, that would be so badass to paint it like that and drop a turbo’d 6.0 liter LS in her and then you’ve got one that’s better than any new one coming off the line!
Been and Oldsmobile fan half my life. Owned a nice 72 Skylark for awhile. I'd sport that. The green may become satin black but would definitely have AC added. Best camping unit for one you could ask for. 😆
Listed on the GMG as a 1967 Sportwagon, but this is the upgraded Sportwagon Custom model. (VIN 4 44 65, where 465 = 9P Sportwagon Custom) They came with two seats (6 persons) and with three seats (8 persons). This is a three seats wagon, one of only 4,559 built for that year.
The trick to the driver door not opening, sit in the drivers seat, pull up on the lock nob while you shimmy the inside door handle, 7 times out of 10 it works 100% of the time. I have to do that with my surviver custom 72 Chevelle.
Dammit I wish I saw this before making my comment lol. I honestly wasn't trying to steal it I swear!, I just remember that same scene too and thought it fit perfectly as you did lol.. I guess my a$$ is absolutely hanging a vacancy sign and now Red's and your foot are both looking for a room lol!. And I also guess if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's a$$ when it hopped right?. 😉🤣🤣
During the station wagon craze my dad bought a 78 Ford Ltd wagon with the 460 4V and towing package. I think it was banned from demolition derbies as it had I beams behind the real 'merica bumpers. The girl next door's parents had the Vista Cruiser. If I remember correctly the rear seats were raised higher than the front for Vista Cruising. Edited as it was bought in 79 but was a 78 model.
I love old American wagons (or estates as we call them here in the UK). They're so much nicer than the ones here. If I had the money I'd be getting you guys to build it and I'd have it shipped over here! Dreaming.
You’d think most folks would get that stuff together prior to putting the car up for sale! That’s almost as bad as posting it, having someone call about it, set up the showing and when they get there and ask to see the car and you tell them to give you a few min or 60 and you’ll go find it 😬
I could be wrong but that grill reminds me of a Canadian Buick....Check the doors and the trim panel when you open the doors and see if it has a maple or oak leaf on the body
So true.. I still believe that a handshake is as good as a contract!. That's because I am a man of my word and if I shake your hand you can believe I will make it happen and I miss that about the world/people today.
Drop a big block 454 in there and make it look stock . Total Sleeper Wagon . Had mom's Vista Cruiser up to 110mph back when the speed limit was 55mph . Glad I didn't pulled over .
What do you think of this wagon? 🔥 or 👎? Let us know below ⬇️

Patina sells
It would be sweet rat rod
It has potential to be either 🔥or👎🏼
I think you should turn it into four-wheel drive Jack that thing up make it a badass overlander
Wagon owners everywhere are lusting after the glass. Thanks Richard.
What ever we lose , i'm gonna take out of your check . Richard is a smooth operator . Cant't wait to see what he does with this one.
So a little bit of google fingers and I found that the glass is called a Sky Roof on the 67 Sport Wagon.
2 is a fair price. The fact that he wanted to keep his word with the lug nuts. Stand up guy.
I sold a so called buddy a car several years ago. Cut him a HELLLLLL of a deal. All i asked was for my dead stepfathers wheels back. Never seen him again. If i ever seen him again id probably beat him till I couldn’t lift my arms.
Tbh demo derby guys would pay more than that for a roller here in the Midwest
The white fella is up himself
@@k24civic you should take the wheels out and then sell dont trust people to return stuff
@@fullfunk knew dude for years. I didn’t think anything about it.
I'd love to see a custom build on that wagon, it has SO MUCH potential.

That 70s show….Eric’s Vista Cruiser
that's a oldsmobile.
They are very different.
That’s first thing I thought
It was a 1969
Yes..yes..
You need to build it, then drive it to the guy and hand deliver the lug nuts!🤣
Thats a sweet project for the show, put a big engine in it, air ride and the gasmonkey magic you cant go wrong
What show? His show is gone he quit it
@@aceneto9386 he can always put it here on youtube, doesnt matter if it's on tv or youtube and take it to the carshow arround America
@@happymark1805 I was just wondering if he had another show or something lol
@@aceneto9386 I wish
Vans are super cool, so are station wagons! Done right and cleanly make for a super cool build and finished vehicle

Back in the 70’s my dad had an Oldsmobile vista that we took a family vacation to Canada in. Great memories
The one good thing that RR did was employ Phipps. Brings back memories from the first season of FNL
CHEVRON STATION IN YORBA LINDA, CA. TODAY, 87 OCTANE $5.99 9/10THS

Omg Richard actually strapped down a car for once🤯😂
Times must be getting hard, did his own driving and no beer.
thought the same thing. I guess hes cutting cost with labor.
Millennials must be getting lazy lol
That was for the camera
That was some pretty impressive trailer maneuvering. Credit where credit is due. Videos like this are why I like the RUclips channel more than the show :)
I had that same car. Like the 70s show. Amazing smooth powerful ride. Rear seat facing back. Awesome car.
Those mid sized wagons are perfect for a daily driver.

We had a '64 Vista Cruiser Wagon, Hwy 66 to Mo several times. A great day!
I would love to see another El camino - G body, Been working on mine for a year and one day it will be on the road. Keep brining these classics back to life
swap a whole gran national car into the wagon make it a turbo wagon with wood
some times the smallest things can be the world to you if it is connected from a loss of a loved 1, dont blame the man for wanting those lug nuts back

Very cool car, ahead of its time with the sun roofs. Would look amazing restored and painted a pale green.
I remember my parents buying one of these brand new, white paint with the woodgrain. There was 4 kids and we would pile in and go to the drive-in on the weekends.
Never see Richard actually do any work before, you can see he's new to it. I like the wagon, would make an interesting video project.
I would have walked up to it walked around once ,and said NO THANKS ,THIS ISN'T FOR ME. Thanks for the call. Richard is OUT OF HIS MIND.
I made me happy to hear unkle Phip talk. The sellers shirt "servant" rocks

Drop that on bags. Two tone green metallic on the bottom off white on top limo tint all the windows

Gotta love me some of that mid-day Dallas traffic. That wagon is called " The Family Truckster".
When I'm watching Gas Monkey, I like it before I even watch it. Always good shit!
Now we just need Red Forman standing next to it and it´s solid!
A Buick is not an Oldsmobile.
Red had a 68 Olds
Ooo that was a Oldsmobile, o well 😉
@@keithschneidly3922 According to the pictures of the car it has a 1969 front end on it.
@@mexicanspec 👍
Looks good seeing Richard actually getting his hands dirty. Lol. Been a while since I seen that! 😂
As I sit at My job at a gas station watching Richard try to pump gas is hilarious
Don’t reduce Tony’s wages he won’t be able to afford his black support socks. Love the content.
The paint is perfect. It looks beautiful.
Dude, I am in love. Put the woody back on the sides and give it some fresh paint, carpet and seats.... Tis MONEY!!!

Hell yeah, totally billed Eric Foreman's ride from that 70s show. ,👍👍👍 The Vista cruiser💯
In my best Red Foreman voice "That's a Vista Cruiser, you can literally cruise the vistas" Lmao, I love that 70s show.

Edited as it was bought in 79 but was a 78 model.
Family truckster
The 460 was not available in the 1979 model. I am going to guess it was a 1978 which was the older larger body style.
We had one sitting in our yard in East Texas, had a guy come to the door wanting it for demolition derby. He was stoked. 😂
@@mexicanspec Yes, you are correct. Editing that now. It was bought in 79 used from a neighbor's friend.
Good vid all together but the final exchange between Tony and Richard is the best. 😄
Those were some of the coolest wagons ever made!!
Great CGI crew! Got Richard doing work!
Always wanted a lowrider station wagon to take the family out in for dinner or long drives this would be perfect
Same here Richard with the Gas pumps
Richard at the gas station made me laugh - I have forgotten how much fun I am missing since going over to EV's
Tony, you got NO right to be surprised by anything wearing that get up!
I like how Richard just goes "You wanna get a picture?" *immediately poses on the car*
I'm sure Richard has spent more than 2k on lunch! Why is he so hesitant, that's a great looking car.
I said to myself “ that fool spent $2,000 on Miller Lite last month !!”
He’s was always gonna buy it just called negotiating can’t look too happy about it
I love Phipps watching Richard pump gas 😂 he's like his child
Thats nice! I never really liked station wagons of my time, but his one is nice!!!!
That car is so frickin awesome. It just oozes cool.
The Vista Cruiser top alone is worth $2k - nice buy. Whish I had one.
Green like money. You got swag. That guy was really cool.
Since last night I think it 1970 Hellcat Edgewood has been been a dream car
I love old American wagons (or estates as we call them here in the UK). They're so much nicer than the ones here. If I had the money I'd be getting you guys to build it and I'd have it shipped over here! Dreaming.
Word to the wise: if Richard is coming to buy, have the title and the keys ready to go. Nothing like looking for something after making a deal

Buick sportwagon with the skylight had a friend who I
Road to school with his dad had one. Oldsmobile
Had one to that had glass.
I could be wrong but that grill reminds me of a Canadian Buick....Check the doors and the trim panel when you open the doors and see if it has a maple or oak leaf on the body
The seller seems like a real stand up dude trying to keep his word for the lug nuts. Many people today would say that but then just blow you off.
So true.. I still believe that a handshake is as good as a contract!. That's because I am a man of my word and if I shake your hand you can believe I will make it happen and I miss that about the world/people today.
Hope that all is well with you and your family good sir. Stay safe and great out there alright!. 🙏🙌🍻
Hanging Out....
Down the Street....
It's the same old Thing....
We Did Last Week....
RICHARD ,,,is a funny guy. He needs to be on more.. What a great guy...
Ls1, ls2 motor With nice green body
White seat and all black in side
Black grill and nice Chrome wheels would make that wagon look wicked
Seller seems like a really nice dude
God I dont miss Dallas traffic at all.
Wow R haven't seen you work so hard before and what a hair day
Well I'm glad im not the only one fighting gas pumps
hey Richard, love watching, from kansas.... keep em coming, have a cold one for me..
Look at Richard strapping that car down. Doing work !!!
Richards going to "Punt" that wagon for sure! Needs one of everything!
I drove an oldsmobile vista cruiser in high school,1968
I love wagons, I have a 59 ford 2 door! In Dallas
Wow that's the most work I ever saw Richard do besides lifting up his arm for a can of cold beer!
That wagon with a modern suspension and a modern hemi and i'd drive it across the country just for something to do. I love wagons
I love Richard's incentive program for Tony: If we make money, you might get a check!
Cool wagon! I see it slammed with a custom green paint job. You sound like me at the gas pump! Lol
Keep it coming Richard this is good stuff
Those were real tough cars ran several in demoderbys.
When free energy is declassified that wagon would be perfect
Good luck on this one Richard
Drop a big block 454 in there and make it look stock . Total Sleeper Wagon . Had mom's Vista Cruiser up to 110mph back when the speed limit was 55mph . Glad I didn't pulled over .
hell yea. that could be a fun build
That's what I'm talking about , put us on the map bro ! Congrats , but don't forget those lug nuts
I’ve always liked the old wagons there used to be a fella from Stratford ct who used to drag race a 66 impala wagon cool as shit
Now that makes me happy seeing Phipps go with him something he never does 👍
There is a guy on FB named Jonathan who gets cars parked for 30-40 years to crank and run all the time. Get on the ball guys.
It's a hearse with a view 😆
The OG SUV right there
“Alright you wanna get a picture”😎
I bought (still have) a 64 Buick Special wagon (no skylights) that I paid $300 for... lots more then that in it now, but it was a good starting point.
Definitely like to see what you end up doing with this one.
Richard Is The Man !!! I Hope He Rebuild This Wagon .. I Want To See The Finish Look ..
I can't believe that Richard put regular fuel in that trx! ⛽😭
Outstanding !!
Sick ride!!!!
