Eyeballing a Safari Wagon w/woodgrain.

I've noticed this car for sale for quite awhile and I'm tempted to look into it. It has a 301 in it too. 20 years ago you couldn't pay me to drive anything with wood grain. I think it would look good lowered with some wheels like the one's on my GP....which still isn't done btw.

Grab it! Retro-cool! Lowered with tasteful 16-18" rims, that would look awesome. Talk about a wolf in sheeps' clothing...

I like it! and I like your idea of lowering it adding wheels and drive it.

I've seen that particular one on CL up in Massachusetts. It looks like a nice, straight, complete car.
I think the asking price was very reasonable, too. In fact, I did consider buying it and shipping it home.

I saw a pic of a Malibu woodgrain wagon once with a set of American Saltflats on it, it looked killer.

Exactly.....especially the drive it part. I don't have time for any ambitious projects now. That's why my other heap still isn't done.

And in current events, here is a guy who has a Pontiac 400 - help each other.

I say swoop it! If it eventually gets the hardwork and dedication you have\are doing to your gp then it will indeed be well worth it!!!Love the woodgrain! I had some old two brothers that own a steel yard that I pick up steel from that have the exact twin to this car(but they have rallies on it)!!! They tried there hardest to get me to trade my 86 elco for it,but just couldn't do it,especially being that the rear windows don't roll down!?!?they really give me sh*t about my 95 ex accord wagon,lol. Just not into gbody wagons.there wagon only has 57,000 og miles on the 301.I'll get some pics when I'm out there way,as I need some steel for my 95 s10 and 00 extreme blazer I traded for the elco! Lol they are really gonna be on one when they find this on!

Upgraded original style is the current trend in street rodding. That wagon looks to be in fantastic condition.

i seen that one. if i remember correctly it needed frame work in the rear. check over it closely and use it to your advantage to wheel and deal if you want to put the work in it.
