Brought it home a week ago, after being off the road for 13 years, sitting on an Indian reservation. Lots of care, tune-up, carb rebuild, brake checkout, and a new set of shoes, took the first real hard test drive today. She runs, & drives like a champ. Just floats down road, at 70mph. Drives smooth and straight as an arrow.
I'm a happy camper now.

Love it ! I really like those old wagons!
 
I dig this wagon, from the first photo you posted! Looks like a good score.
 
That pretty kool!

I would have on my to do list to replace everything brake related and change over to a dual master cylinder. Sitting can really play havoc on brake lines, brake hoses, wheel cylinders, master cylinder.
 
I can't get over how straight it is. Hard to find anything that isn't full of dings,dents and scrapes.
Another is the thing looks very complete, even the insides aren't hacked up.
What a find !
 
You lucky dog! That's just too straight a car!:lol:
