This is the first Pro-touring 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser we’ve seen. Lingenfelter built the unique wagon with their supercharged LS3 V8 producing 650 horsepower. The motor features a Hooker exhaust headers and mounts and an Edelbrock supercharger. Behind the V8 sits a Tremec 6060 six-speed manual transmission with a Centerforce DYAD twin-disc clutch. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Moser 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears and an Eaton Posi differential. The wagon rides on a RideTech air suspension with Wilwood disc brake behind Weld Racing wheels. <\/p>\n
