Looks like one of the 70's Eckler Sport Wagons with the rear windows filled in, some old-school Crager's and a `73" nose . .

Well . . it was the 70's . . .

Some things should be left to the professionals. Corvette body design is one of them. I don't think I have ever seen a customized Vette that I liked better than the car that they started with.

In the 70's custom Corvettes were way cool, but so were plaid pants white shoes, white ties (wide ones) and leisure suits. Considering how we dressed the car looks pretty good

Hi,
I realize some people like customized Corvettes, and some even like the station wagon look.
But, to my eye this is a pretty bad shape.
It looks to me like 34-24-48!
Regards,
Alan

Hey, dont hate too much on this car. Its the same as the guys putting on chrome bumpers on rubber bumper cars. Its the "cool" thing to do. The latest mod. Same kind of thoughts went into the wagon mod as the bumper mod, just different decade.

Flame suit on
