This Safari wagon is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with manufacturer’s literature, a Pontiac-Oakland Club award, refurbishment photos, service records, spare parts, and a clean Illinois title.

The two-spoke steering wheel has a chrome horn ring and frames a 120-mph speedometer flanked by two multi-function gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 9k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
