Not sure. It's not something Dad and I talked about specifically, but I would suspect it is original.

Subject change:

I'm not clear on my part in the apparent "downward spiral" of this thread, but let me clarify a couple thoughts on my car.

Anything related to cosmetics (ie, paint, pinstripe, fit, finish, carpet, seats, IP, bumper bolts, hose routings, electrical, window rubber, trim, inspection stamps, firewall markings etc) is absolutely "virgin"; that is, it is in the same condition as when we received it on September 12, 1964. Since the car has been in my (or my family's) direct care since that time I can assure the reader that most of those parts have not been touched since. As such, it should be pretty representative of an early September built Pontiac plant car, which is why I make the car available for observation and to answer specific questions.

Anything related to "go fast" (ie, engine, trans, driveline, front and rear suspension) is entirely suspect. By being a race car (only) I know many of those items have been changed, specifically heads ('67 heads installed, original heads stored in basement), intake and carbs ('66 tripower and carbs installed, original in basement), headers (original ex manifolds in basement), cam, taller valve covers, etc. Even though they have been removed those parts are still available for checking date codes, etc. The trans and shifter should probably be viewed with some caution, since there is a story there. It is the original "born with" date coded/EUN block in the car.

I always keep the above in mind when using the car as a reference point.

Fan, fan clutch and spacer certainly fall into a gray area. I don't have any leftover/removed parts; additionally by being pretty "tuned in" to Dad's thought processes I don't believe they have been changed, FWIW.

Hope that helps -
