Condition

Market commentary
It was an education to watch some of Bonhams seriously experienced classic car experts troll over this Safari: they were amazed at its quality and attention to detail. The effort expended by the restorer/modifier was apparent in every area but it brought less than a comparably modified, stock-appearing Chevy Nomad, a serious performance value for the new owner and a car that will be absolutely killer towing an American V-8 powered historic race car to Monterey or Thompson.
