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
