I’m not a huge fan of the gold dash, but 76 T/A’s are my favorite year.
No rust. New Jersey. Right.

"Double Ram Air" ?

Is it a RA II convertible?
Would be worth quite a bit if so?

Close to that Will?

Wonder if they have a BHC for it?

Not a Craigslist, but at a car show this weekend. The Safari was listed at $4500. The '58 wagon behind it was listed for $3000. There was a '58 Pontiac Ambulance project out there as well.

That Alternator bracket is wrong also. I think the term "matching numbers" gets played a little loose sometimes. When I hear the term MN I think carb. to rear wheel stud.

LOL... It's not too far from me.

Usually pictures make crappy paint jobs look good. That must be an extraordinarily bad paint job 'cause it looks like crap in the pictures.

I like that 1956 Safari, it looks reasonably solid and the price is decent.

Also, single line manual drum brakes retained for the 26" wheel installation.

Yep, couldn't have been much fun trying to stop. Half dozen photos of a non-functional parking brake too.

Might explain why it only has 91 miles on it.
