Well I suppose you could do that to a car. You would deserve to be shot, but you could do it. I will applaud his time and effort, but why a vette? How about a Camaro, or better yet any Honda, maybe even a Mustang. If you're gonna destroy something, don't destroy something that looked so good to begin with.

there was one around my area a few years back. have'nt seen it in some time... it was silver.

I prefer the term "shooting brake" versus "station wagon".

I have always kinda liked them....

I remember in the late 70's I built a model car of a VetteVan that was a Shark wagon. There were a few 4 door vettes produced as well.

If anyone knows or ever does know where there is one for sale let me know, I want one really bad. As my kids get older I want to takle them to the Corvette shows with me but I can't get all three in the Vette. Besides that there was one at a local show awhile back and it was a hit everybody loved it. It was like people would walk right past a ZR-1 or Callaway to go see this wild lookin VEtte.

by the way... these cars were never produced by the factory, they were kits.

I would not be suprised if Greenwood still sells the wagon kit!!!!

I remember during the early years of C-4 production Car & Driver (a.k.a. "Queer & Dribble") magazine wrote a feature about a pack of hot-modded Caprice Classic station wagons fitted with Z-51 suspensions, L-98 engines and other Corvette go-fast goodies as research and development mules.

Seems Chevy needed a high-performance vehicle that could haul more than just azz and the trucks and SUV's in the General's automotive arsenal at the time just weren't up to snuff. :eek:

I seem to recall seeing 70's era Camaro station wagons and a 6.6liter Trans-Am wagon, too...I think they were called "Kammback" or something. My reaction to thise is the same as the Vette wagons... :U
