1971 Pontiac Safari

Derby fodder ehh

 

I was hoping for a little more swamp land for that price.

 

It kinda looks like the swap thing now that you mentioned it

 

$6500

 

Really nothing to recommend this one.

 

I always wanted a '71 or a '72. Other than the driver's quarter needing some love it doesn't really look that bad. That the guy took pictures of glideaway chambers with both access ports opened shows he knows what to look for in a wagon like this, it's also good to see it isn't rotted in there either.

That said, the glideaway wiring being screwed up, rear window channel damage, and complete lack of options make this a super hard sell. Even more so due to lack of title where Washington is one of the most unforgiving states regarding titles. It's a basic basic wagon with a bad repaint decades ago and you'd have to really want *this* one.

 

yeah, If I had a rusty one with a good Interior maybe at 1/2 or less of the asking price. Also no mention of what engine it has, so probably the base Pontiac 350 2bbl. Also all the underhood A/C parts missing is not a plus.

 

Catalina wagons came with a minimum of the 400 and this one looks to have a 4bbl air cleaner on it (hard to tell). The badge on the grill says it's a 400 car from the factory.

 

Slight price drop... some form of leanholder title might be the best option. Prolly go the derby arena anyways.....

 

Thank goodness. That extra $500 saved outta' pay for the resto.

 

Is it all about location?

This Pontiac is ugly junk compared to this Oldsmobile that has already sold for less.
