Actually yes for the most part. Originally it had steel wheels & baby moons with no trim rings, not sure yet what engine it had. Seller has all 6 spears that ran down the sides behind the wreaths. Tom McPherson has been a true friend in this venture, he verified what it is & that it is a real Pinner. I went to Tom a few days ago for an honest opinion & both he & Walt really came through for me with information & several photos they have of the car when new.
Being based on a Biscayne wagon, i'm wondering if it originally had a 6-banger in it or a V-8. It does still have the original Powerglide in it but no engine. I have several small blocks in the shop so it'll get one of them. I'm very excited about this Pinner & thrilled to get started on it. Once it's home i'll put it all together quick since the bumper, grill, & everything else are currently removed & set a small block in it to bring the front end down where it should be.
As excited as I am about it, the '66 ambulance still gets her TLC first. I'm doing interior work this winter & cruising it one more summer with the Miamitown patina look. Fall 2011 it goes to Rocky for bodywork & paint, then i'll start on the restoration of this beautiful Pinner.
