1970's Pontiac Safari 2dr Wagon??

Surfing the net, I came across this car. I have never heard of it, does anybody know if this is factory original?

Looks like a Pontiac Astre..

 

If it's in fact a Pontiac it is an Astre Safari. Same as a Chevy Vega.

 

I have wanted one of these for awhile so I could install this.





It's a 380+ hp Pontiac Super Duty race engine based off of the Iron duke.

 

Yep.. that exactly what that is...an Astre - not many left... same as the vega's - they all rusted away after a few years.

 

dear goodness its satan's own 4 cyl!

 

I have never seen them overhere, I like them!

 

I looks similar to the wagon in MadMax.

 

a lil Cosworth goes a long way

 

Canadian only 73 & 74, Astre's in Canada & the US 75-77, Sunbird Wagons 78 & 79, Here are a couple of shots of my 78 Sunbird Safari. And a couple of a 79 Sunbird parts car from a few years ago.

There is also a buitiful red 75 Astre GT wagon on Nashville CL for 2200.00.

The brown one is nice...

Thanks Dyna,

It has a built 3.8 Buick V-6 (working on a better 4.1 Buick V-6!!!!) and 3.73 gears. It suprizes alot of the local kids in their Honda & Toyota's!!!!

 

It ought to. Those GM 3.8's are great! Especially if you turbo it like a Grand National. I'm sure the fit is perfect as they used to put 350 V8's in them from the factory.

 

I heard tell that the Grand National with the 3.8 was the fastest factory car ever built.
