This Pontiac Safari got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1986 Pontic Parisienne Safari wagon is finished in black with faux woodgrain paneling over a burgundy velour interior, and power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a rear-facing third-row jump seat, a power rear window, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, air conditioning, and remote-controlled side mirrors. The car was previously sold on BaT in June 2020 and was acquired by the seller in August 2021. Subsequent service has included replacing the woodgrain paneling, muffler, idler arm, and belts. This Parisienne Safari shows 99k miles and is offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, shop manuals, spare parts, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title in the name of the seller’s LLC.
