Well, these are 64's:
Here's my 64 Parisienne Safari project car... documented 400 HP 409 4 speed ( this is the large port, 11:1 engine, using the Z11 cam ). PS, PB, PRW, posi. Colour is Sunfire Red Metallic / Ermine White roof.
How many ?
One(1) built. Not one pink one. One only built.

then, while looking for parts for it, a guy said to me, "hey, I have the pink wagon with a 409" ?
He did... sort of. Around 1977, some low-life street rodder needed metal for his project, and cut the roof skin off this car. the wagon was a in a yard ( engine/trans had long before been removed ) with 200 other cars. This guy saw 409 valve cover gasket laying over the hole in the floor for the factory 4 speed shifter, and the tach up in the corner of the dash, and decided yes, this is the one... and took a cut off saw to it.
64 Pontiac Laurentian 9 passenger Safari wagon.
Documented 340 HP 409 4 speed... yes, same colour as the 400 horse car.
How many ?
again, one(1) built
I'm actually just about to start work on this one
Ahhhhh yes.....back when they made cool cars with real metal in them and not the junk we see today. Who cares about gas milage.....lol.
