Safari 5.0 V8

STORY

The Safari name began with the two-door Star Chief Custom Safari, introduced on January 31, 1955, of which Pontiac built 3,760 that year. In 1957 it spread to all Pontiac wagons. From 1971 to 1976 the full-size Safari had a clamshell tailgate. For 1977 the B-body wagon was downsized, shedding up to 800 lb depending on powertrain, and engines changed with it. Pontiac dropped the full-size Safari after the 1989 model year, and the Trans Sport minivan arrived for 1990.
