I like the wagons but not the wide bodies so much. Unless its a full dressed Lemans car or something along those lines

Most of these customs were built from wrecks as I remember, so no harm, no foul. But to cut up a clean no-hit original?? No way. There were lots of aftermarket kits available to rebuild your recently totalled Vette that were far cheaper to buy than trying to return to stock. The flip-up front clips were the most the common. The "Vette Van" kit's were also popular, and I remember seeing them at almost every Corvette or car show back in the 70's.

I would buy the station wagon before I'd ever buy that butt ugly yellow thing. Beauty is very subjective.
