Well, I think I know where there is an ORIGINAL Indy push station wagon. I don't know the whole story on the car as a good friend of mine saw it and relayed the info to me. In Illinois there is a 1961 Bonneville SW with a factory 389 tri-power and factory 4-speed. The car has some sort of connection to Indy. The guy that owns it bought it years ago just to drive (he is a pontiac guy) and rebuilt the engine. The car has sat for a while but I guess my friend heard it run. The thing about it though is that it needs a frame and some other rust repair. But I think it could be bought. Quite a car even if it isn't restored. I could get more info about it this weekend.
