Ouch. You wouldn't want that to be your first crack at doing some rust repair. It's going to need some pretty major surgery, and I can't imagine you'd find many patch panels readily available. Unless Nomad pieces would fit (assuming someone makes patch panels for Nomads). Can't imagine what it'll look like after blasting (or acid dipping).

The engine compartment looks like someone's pantry with all the glass bottles... And that gas line running up and over everything, switching to rubber hose part way, is just a wee bit scary. I think the original routing was across under the generator, and steel the whole way.

It'd sure be a nice car if a person could finish it. One listed at Barrett-Jackson reports only 3760 were made. These were American Pontiacs, weren't they?

In the mid 70's I had two Safaris both identical colour to this one.

Both projects. I paid $50 for one, and $35 for the other (bought a year apart). At the time I also had

a 55 Chevy and my daily driver was a 63 Chevy SS. I was not in a position to restore the Safaris so

they had to go a year later. I still have the interior roof chrome strips and the hood ornament

with a clear plastic head, not an orange one. Rare American wagon.

heater was located under the driver's seat......sold them both to a 57 Chevy Nomad owner for $400.
