    Real interesting IMO. Personally if I were to get it I'd leave some of it as-is, outside of fixing the: Interior; wiring replacement; floor panels; rust spots and whatever else may impact the safe use of it. I like the weathered look it has.

    1960 pontiac safari wagon
    fuel: gas
    title status: rebuilt
    transmission: automatic





    This car rolls and steers to load on a trailer. It does not have a title but is a Kansas antique so it will not be difficult to file for one. The car is complete and undisturbed, except the water pump has been removed. Wagons are hot right now and this is a good one. Typical floor rust as on any 59-60 GM car that has sat around like this one has. Fantastic patina. The interior is sunbaked and needs completely redone.

    I have a 1959 Safari wagon in another ad, and a 1960 parts wagon available. Also have a spare 1960 front clip and bumper...

    This makes me wonder how many more years till all the lost cars are found and removed from junkyards.

    By the time someone hauls this beast home, repairs all the little rust holes, puts in a new interior, floors, rebuilds the complete drive train, new wiring, new hoses, belts, brake and fuel lines, gas tank, window felt and door rubber, does a repaint, wheels, tires, etc. he could buy a decent driver.
    Yes, repaint. To me there is no such thing as patina unless it's furniture. That there my friends is rust!

    I'd take a pass on a '60 Pontiac wagon for one reason - it doesn't have the traditional Pontiac split grill. Loses it's identity, IMO. '59 - yes, '61 - yes, but not a '60.....

    I like to think of the '60 Pontiacs as the best looking versions of the '60 G.M cars...rather than lament the loss of individual identity. :)
