1970 vista cruiser classifications
 

I recently un-earthed an old stock eliminator 1970 Cutlass Vista Cruiser it comes with both the 350 and the 455 engines. Its been stored in a heated building its entire life so it is in really nice shape (time machine neatness). What current classification does it fit into with either engine combo?

Thanks

I believe a Ray Cramer ran one of those at that time... associated with Chesrown Olds.

G H I with the 455 365/360hp J K L with 350 310/310hp and O P Q with 350 250/250hp. I hope that helps.

Let me know if you want to sell it. Been looking for a nice one for street use.

The shipping weight on a 455 2 seat cruiser is 4211# and 4317# for the 3 seat model. I bet traction is not an issue, and a 275 low gear would help the 60 foot times. If I worked the math right it would fit in super stock in J automatic, be kinda neat watching a class run between the cruiser and a camero. Don Jackson
