- 1987 #PontiacSafariWagon | 1990 #CapriceEstateWagon Junkyard Find. We have a 2 for 1 special, wagon edition. I decided to check these two out to see if I could use anything for my 89 box Chevy Brougham. I considered the hubcaps but ultimately left them behind. This 87 Poncho and 90 box Chevy wagon were at the #picknpull in South Dallas TX

That first wagon you showed is worth saving
And you can replace the parts that have been taken off of it with ones from the other one and make it a Chevyiac.
@@kennethsouthard6042 Most Pontiacs (all in my belief) are "Chevyiacs" after 1981.
Once they go in these yards the VIN is reported as scrapped, you could never title it.
@@CR7659 i don't know why, they should report them after the car bas been destroyed. Makes no sense.
@@UsefulEntertainment So people don't steal the tags.
You might think im weird but that's okay
I feel bad for that car
It looks so cool
Luv that red 90 Caprice Wagon the interior was mint in their too bad it's going be crushed but has great parts & behind 87 Poncho Safari was a 90-93 Chevy Cavalier Wagon been along time since seen of those my parents had Buick version which was Century Estate .
Feels like going to the Winn-Dixie with grandma looking at them gems
Waoooo My childhood Caprice really its a awsome superb Ride.
😊😊
Benny that Caprice Estate Wagon is beautiful. I love those sport mirrors!
I believe that this car will probably run just the way it is... The Chevy wagon
The first 1990 Caprice should've been sold on FB Marketplace. It's not rat-infested like the 87 Poncho as it probably would serve as a parts wagon for the Caprice.
The interior has been well taken care of. It may not look great on the outside, but it's what's inside that counts ^-^
Nice! I remember these well.
Sad to see the Estate wagon has reached the end of the line. These were strong cars. The Caprice was always one of my favorites.

Those last year Caprice wagons are super rare! Only year with those door mounted seatbelts as you mentioned. The RPO code sticker on those year cars should be on the inside of the glove box door. GM moved them from the trunk to inside the glove box so they would survive better from moisture. Last year for the Safari wagon was 1987.
1989 was the last year for the Safari. They made 5146 cars in 89 and 6397 in 88. Which is about half the 87 production.
@@CR7659 never realized they kept making the Safari until 1989. Pontiac had the huge redesign of their whole car line in 1988 so I figured they discontinued it after 1987. Thanks for the correction.
@@klwthe3rd The "Dustbuster"Transport took its place in '90.
HI BENNY-- THE 90S WAGON RED INSIDE ,, NICE COLOR. THE BACK DOOR AND BACK SEAT I LIKED THEM,, GET THE KIDS IN AND THE DOG, AND THEY LOOK OUT THE BACK WINDOW .. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING THAT DAM WAGON AND MY KIDS WERE MAKING FACES AT THE CAR IN BACK IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AND THE OTHER CAR WAS BEEPING AT ME I SAID WHAT THE HELL !! I TOLD THEM TO STOP IT ,,HA..THANKS FOR SHOWING THE TAN RAT WAGON.PEACE!!
great cars ,run forever had quite few of them sedans and wagons
I have an 89 sedan that I bought from the auction a while back
Mr. B. Here ! Working for Oldsmobile these wagon were very well balanced , the front & rear wait was the same ! SUV’s may look good but can not hold a candle to these vehicles. Sad to see that one in bone yard .
Man that interior is still nice!
I love seeing your video's ... My favorite place is pick a part i can find whatever i need there most of the time ...
I don't think ive been to a pick a part. Where are they located?
@@ClassicRideSociety i live in Indianapolis indiana ... I was there in march to buy a wheel ... I didn't really pay attention to the sign unless they changed the name here its always been pick a part and they even have a website with part prices ... Its the same as pull a part the same lay out ...
@@bobbymatheson5807 👍
That particular car in this video with the trailer towing hitch on the back came with 323 gears in the rear end and 2004r Transmission. The 1988-90 and the 1990 was the only year that the Olds engines came with a single serpentine belt
Benny you can get the impact strip from the dealer if you really want those for yours. I miss station wagons
Had a 63 Impala wagon not to.long ago and now I want another
love wagons...
Don from Lake Geneva, Wiscon sin owned one of these Back in the day. Don used to come in to town & repair pinball%video games at Stan's Arcade in Janesville, Wisconsin. He'd drop his wife off at the Mall in town then drive down to Stan's to work on the games. Good guy, Don, even though he thought a lot if Stan's games were..."junk"!
The first wagon was a nice shape I don't know why they junked it
hello hope your doing well I watch you from Tennessee! great find!
WoW, getting ready to junk my 87 safari wagon, had it built at one time with a 411 gear 327 engine with 3500 stall umi performance rear arms. in chicago tried giving it away just to see it not junked but no one wanted it, sorry to see it go
is rust the reason you junking it?
if i wanted a pontiac wagon, i'd look for a 1977-1981 catalina or bonneville safari, the last year was 1981 for a u.s full size rwd pontiac.
my favorites
My orthodox Jewish neighbours had that caprice in the 1990s.. they have 13 children.
Those doors shut with a little.. Click.
Hey Benny
G66 rpo code would be rear air ride leveling. Lots of 80s Cadillacs were G66 equipped
3rd row is like a rambler seat
This body style went from 1977 - 1990 for G.M. (excluding Pontiac, which was not produced in 1983 or 1990,) and 1979 - 1991 for Ford and Mercury. These 1990 models, the last year G.M. "Boxy" Wagon Models, have the front seat belts attached to the doors. It's stupid, because if the door opens in a collision, you could be yanked out of the car. But, that's what G.M. did instead of putting air bags in their cars.
Meanwhile, the 1990 and 1991 Ford and Mercury models that look about the same have an air bag for the driver. I own a 1990 Grand Marquis, and yes, it had the typical mid 90s "Ford Air Bag" Steering Wheel with the horn buttons on the side.
if i had a 1990, i'd replace the doors from an older caprice, having the seat and shoulder belt hooked up to the pillar between the doors.
Whoa Nelley, I had posted a reply and now it's dry (gone). Mastercraft is a boat dealer in Fort Worth, TX: www.texasmastercraft.com/ Hudiburg Chevrolet is now Autonation Chevrolet at 7769 Grapevine Hwy, North Richland Hills, TX 76180. I'm sure both 307 engines would run again with little effort. Those 307 engines run, run, run, run, run and run some more. Very reliable, but have the power curve of a Briggs and Stratton equipped lawn mower. LOL.
Yes, the 1990 has a THM200-4R (RPO code "MW9"). We got the VIN, we win: 1G1 for US made Chevrolet, BN for Caprice Classic, 8 for station wagon, 4 for "automatic" belts, Y for the 307 Olds V8 with four barrel, aka RPO code "LV2", 7 is a check digit, L for the 1990 model year, A for Lakewood Heights/Atlanta, GA assembly (which closed in 1990, and the video of the last day can be found here: ruclips.net/video/t_vYT_nZbFA/видео.html) and the rest is the production sequence. Possible code #75 Red Metallic exterior paint.
1995 Caprice 9C1 has a 4.3 engine in it. VIN gets us the win: 1G1 for US made Chevrolet, BL52 for Caprice, W for 4.3 V8 with MFI, 1 is a check digit, S for the 1995 model year, R for Arlington, TX assembly and the rest is the production sequence. Paint code U9753 is Bright White exterior paint. G80 is of course posi and GU5 is 3.23 rear axle ratio.
No, 1989 was the last year for the Pontiac full size wagon. Buick, Chevrolet and Olds kept through the 1990 model year, but not Pontiac. We got the VIN, we win: 1G2 for US made Pontiac, BL81 for Safari Wagon, Y for Olds 307 V8 with four barrel, aka RPO code "LV2", X is a check digit, H for the 1987 model year, X for Fairfax, KS assembly and the rest is the production sequence. Got the SPID, glad you did: AU3 for power locks, A31 for power windows, G66 for "Superlift" level control, FAI for Fairfax, KS assembly, C60 for AC, C49 for rear defroster, N33 for tilt wheel, K34 for cruise control, MW9 for THM200-4R transmission, NA5 for standard Federal emission, CD4 for delay wipers, VK3 for front plate bracket, among others. U8575 is Light Chestnut exterior paint.
Whoa Nelley, it's the wood that used to make it good. 307 and going to Heaven. LV2, it's over for you. That's it, time to quit. The box no longer rocks. Going to be flat and that's that. Going to get squished, get those parts quick, or you're going to be pissed.
As usual you are spot on about the power output and I saw the Pontiac Ventura I told you about its not a factory deal but its not bad and its got an early Trans Am Shaker on it.
@@garymckee8857 Thanks, someone made it up, indeed.
@@googleusergp Yes it seems I saw one in a Hot Rod Magazine made along the same lines years ago that's what was confusing me.
@@garymckee8857 It was pretty easy to swap parts back then. Those cars were regular cars in yards.
@@garymckee8857 I was approached last night with a friend of my neighbor who needs to sell his 1981 Trans Am Y85 Nascar edition. It's a 67k original and I've seen it in person before. 2nd owner, the first owner cried as it went on the trailer when this one bought it from him. One of 2,000 made. I am considering it for myself, but I'm maxed out on space at the moment. If I don't buy it, I'm going to be coordinating the sale of it.
Cool 😀
the 1987 was a canadian car called the parisienne, which wasn't a catalina or a bonneville, but just a canadian chevy eh.
1987 to 1989 the parisienne safari, was just called safari.
the first wagon look like mrs doubt
fire movie 1993 robin Williams red wagon 87 chevy caprice they
decided to junk it after robin Williams die shoulder restore it
Tribute to robinWilliams
We build excitement !!!!
MY DADS SAFARI WAS THE SAME YEAR SAME COLOR AND GOT 10 MPG
I had a 1989 Pontiac Safari wagon.I don't know if they had a 1990 model or not.
I have an 88 safari. I need those taillights and 1 hubcap lol
That car us long gone now unfortunately
That caprice has the cheap half roof rack, they dont look good with out the full size rack and the rear air foiler that comes down over the rear window. Idk why they bothered making 2 different styles. Also our 90 wagon had those stupid seat belts on the doors, not anymore lol. Shame the car is gonna be destroyed.
You can use that door, all that seatbelt stuff is removable
my mom had one of these.
I got to see the '80 Bonneville in my yard on Wednesday. Coupe. Even has a factory power sunroof in it. Been sitting somewhere for years, moldy inside, and the frame rotted. Totally complete though. I took some video.
I wonder how rare a power sunroof is. I didn't know it existed before I saw that one. Glass in it is cracked though.
I think the only difference on those caps is the center insert.
I had an '87 Safari. They made them to '89 because mine had an '89 tailgate on it. Then I found they only made like 5,000 or so that year. That one looks almost exactly like mine, same color, same woodgrain.
Yes, the Brougham Coupe is rare, and the power roof is rare too. My parents bought one new in 1980, it was stolen in 1982. The NYPD cop that came to do the report said, "Forget it Mac, that car is on a boat overseas already". There were organized groups stealing them (especially without leather interiors) and exporting them to the Middle East back then.
@@googleusergp I will see if I can post the video of that tonight. I did find the VIN on it but no RPO codes. This car looks to have had everything though, skirts, AC, PW, PL, tilt, cruise, power antenna, remote trunk, wire hubcaps, and a 301 4bbl. Didn't think to check for a locker.
I also got a 95 Chevy van, 84 Dodge van, a pair of 65-66 T-birds and just for fun a Pontiac Aztek.
The grille out of said Pontiac is on eBay now, a lot of the chromed plastic was peeling though so I didn't pick much.
@@CR7659 1980 passenger vehicles don't have RPO code labels. That started in 1984 for passenger cars, earlier on trucks.
@@CR7659 Let me know when you post it. Hopefully you've mastered the art of focusing on the VIN and tags so that it's easy to figure out what it is, LOL. The 301 four barrel, VIN code "W", RPO code "L37" was an option. My parents car had the Pontiac 265 V8, VIN code "S" two barrel.
@@googleusergp cowl tag was not legible but the door sticker was and I read it out loud.
I wish I knew why I was so shaky with the camera though. Not something I do on purpose nor realize I am doing it. If I thought I could bring a tripod in the yard with me I would.
I just posted it now.
She need be saved😄
It looks thwere would less work to do on the Poncho. At least it has all of its parts. And then stick a Hellcat or a Helliphant in the Shevie.
I need them parts 💯🔥💪🏼
Unfortunately that car is long gone now. It was picked over and then they crushed it a while back
@@ClassicRideSociety 🤦♂️ I just picked up a 1989 Wagon! If you run across some more let me know #KenTennKustomz
Are the filler sections around behind the bumpers , being remanufactured for these B body cars now.
Yes. www.classicchevy.com/full-size-chevy-front-bumper-filler-center-caprice-and-impala-1986-1990-40-349895-1.html
Now I think I'm watching Chevy Chase drivein his 87 in the movie poltergeist 1
Chevy had a'81-82 Ford Country Squire wagon in "Vacation",not "Polterguiest" Craig T Nelson had an '81 OLDS Custom Cruiser wagon.
@@231gnx hum
Now that would be cool to drop down to the ground with a nice set of tires & wheels!! 👍
Like the one from Daniel-san from Karate kid lol 😆
Man I haven't seen that movie in at least 20yrs.
Surprised GM didn't put 9 code 307s in these box wagons; a Y code 307 box wagon wouldn't do too well loaded with cargo/people. Thirty HP makes a big difference.
Cost. The 307 "LV2" was available in abundance then and was reliable, so they used it. What a lot of folks don't know is that the "9" engine ran through 1990 and was often used on commercial cars/armored cars.
Thats exactly why the 307 came out of our 90 estate and was replaced with a 69 olds 455😎
Horsepower didn't move those wagons, torque did.
MY DAD HAD A CHEST NUT BROWN 1987 MODEL AND IT WAS GAS THIRSTY ONLY 10 MPG CITY.
Were these considered full sized cars or compact?
Full size "B" body vehicles. They had boxed frames as well as far as the wagons go.
@@googleusergp oh ok thanks.
They were "considered" full size but they are small. Ive got one and i can tell you if you have rear passengers, you have to move the front seats forward and even when they are all the way back the front seats feel cramped. Put 2 adults in the middle row and your knees about touch.
On the other hand my buddies 69 electra feels like a mini limo comparatively. These 77-90 B bodies lost 19 inches in length over the previous 71-76 generation and im not sure how much width they lost.
That wagon just needs some new wood grain stuff that car needs drug out of there. Why would some one junk that thing out sad.
That's a damn shame.
Great cars one drawback however that 307 olds motor. Reliable easy maintenance but so slow. Too bad GM didn’t give these throttle body injection like the chevy 305/350s of 87-90.
And the 350 Olds engine I love but the307 is reliable but when it comes down to power its the dog of dogs
It's pronounced Pontiac Per Rizzi Ann
i hated the 1990! gm refused to put an airbag in the 1990 and door mounted seatbelts, which had problems, in 1990 (as a 1991) to 1996, gm but a beached whale on 4 wheels! R.i.p rwd full size gm cars!
1990 was the last year of the Pontiac Safari Wagon
No '89 was the last for the Pontiac.
i thought the 305 was std. after 1989.
GM claimed the 307 Olds made more low end torque than the 305 chevy did. But if I had one the 307 would only stay in there lo g enough to drive it home and I'd stuff the 350 Olds in there quikly
Nice durby car right there grocery getter grandmama special...I'll take the seat in back yah boy nice nice shape..and I'll take the moter 307's run pretty good but not the 80's ones
Those cars that had seat belts on the door, were dangerous. As we know, when a GM door latch wears out, the door can just pop open going around a curve. (it happened to my sister). When this happens on this car, you can just…slip out. “OH CRAP!!!” Then out cha go…. Stupid design.
Makes a terrific blind spot too, i deleted mine and put the conventional ones back in, all the holes were still drilled and tapped hiding under the pannels.
I believe for 1990, it was "automatic" seat belts or a driver's airbag to meet requirements. As this was on the way out, the belts were the cheaper option.
Those stupid passive seat belts my mom had a ciera with those a real pain the a@@
