My 66 Valiant wagon......

So I have found a few minutes to finally post some decent photos of my 66 Valiant 200 wagon. I purchased her a few months ago and she has now became my main means of daily transportation.

Pretty much all original when I purchased her and have the cert card under the hood and the original owners manual and build sheet. Have a bunch of documentation from the previous 2 owners and she has 144k on her now. The original owner had a minor restoration done to her (lower section of body repaired and repainted, inserts in seats re-done) in 91. He passed away soon after and she was in storage for 10-12 years, until the second owner found her and purchased her for his wife to drive, which she did for 2 years. She has the 225 motor, power rear gate window, dual mirrors, and the roof rack which were the only options she came with I believe.

I've done some cleaning on her already and some long overdue maintenance which consisted of a tune up, rear axle bearings and seals and fuel tank sending unit and grommet. She has new tires, 13's in front and 14's in the rear. Next up are new leaf springs, and a front end rebuild. she got some rot coming through on the rear quarter, but I'm not worrying about that this year, just want to get the rest of the mechanical's straightened out and enjoy it this year!

One question tho......The plywood spare tire cover, wagon floor, does that look original to you wagon enthusiasts? It looks to be a piece of 3/4" plywood, I'd be very surprised that it came with that from the factory.
