Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Hydramatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, WonderBar radio, twin spotlights, steel hubcaps.

Condition

Older restoration coming undone. Lots of trim mars, some seals dry, paint mostly good, small dent on passenger door, rear door fit way off, window trim peeling, upholstery a bit saggy and marked, steering wheel heavily cracked, engine bay clean but old with duct tape in use.

Market commentary

Despite its condition, this car had charm and attracted a crowd. Bid was a little light, but not by much, and this Safari will have trouble coming out much better at the next sale when transportation and associated costs are factored in.
