About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Done to very high standards both cosmetically and mechanically, this Safari wagon looks as good under the hood as it does on the outside.

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.
