Been in talks with the seller for 2 weeks.
Been wanting a wagon for some time, but it had to be one with a look you don't see often.
This jet age, Forwardlook Virgil Exner model had the look I was after.
Having some ideas on bringing it back to life with a look all of its own.
The body is in better than average condition, but the interior is super nice, door cards, seats, headliner, and a perfect steering wheel etc.
Glass is all good, and all the crank windows go up and down as they should.
Even the rear electric tailgate window works.
The 318 poly runs and doesn't look like it's ever been out of the Pioneer.
Push button trans work both forward and back and can move under its own power, but can't drive it yet because there are no brakes. The E brake works though.
Huge thanks go out to @Xenon and @71Polara383
for their help in bringing it back with me today.

Mike, this was the 3rd time I've accidentally found a car on FB. I was searching for a couple minutes on their public site before the screen goes blank, with the message that pops up and says "you must sign-in/register to continue"(I'm not on FB)tim, tell us the back story.
Until it's time to put something with the distributor in front, or perhaps...something with no distributor at all!Mighty fine, Tim! I sure hope you keep the Poly. . .
6.0 LS?... or perhaps...something with no distributor at all!
When the seller started the Pioneer, the first sound of that Poly I heard reminded me of the movie Christine when the owner started the Fury.
Just as I was thinking that, Wyatt @71Polara383 says "Christine".
That was a good laugh we both had.
