Corvette wagon?

Yes!

(By the way, this has JG's name written all over it.)

He's got two too many zeroes on that price...

ad says The car has been sitting for 20 years it needs......
-Paint
-Interior
-Engine
-Transition
-Tires
end ad

Transition? I'm thinking this thing needs a full-blown montage...

Very rear indeed.

Look at the floor. Mildew or moss. That thing is not worth it at any price.

You know, it looks like it's wearing a fresh license plate.

Ugly in the back.

Ugly in the front.

Automatic?

Did you ride your bicycle without a helmet again?

I feel that I should admit I recognize the underlying awesomeness of this car.

It's just that the awesomeness is lying under a whole lot of stuff I can't fathom dealing with...

Butt the ad says it's very "rear". I do concur, Floridian CL user, that looks like ass.

Automotive hepatitis..

well .... $5000 sounds reasonable ... assuming he'll actually pay me that much to haul it away

Yep. I know those old Vette wagon Greenwood conversions are rare and have a following, but this car needs a LOT before it's a whole car again... plus, the various aesthetic changes would need to be un-done like the tail lights (relatively easy) to the front lights (not so easy...).

There was a very nice example for sale on Hemmings a couple of years ago with an asking price of $125K. Who knows what it eventually sold for, if at all:

I like Vettes. I love wagons. But bringing this car back would definitely be a labor of love. While my google-fu is failing me in my attempt to find a running example for sale, I'm guessing it would cost a lot less than the work required to bring this one back.

Man, I don't know if it's the alignment of the stars, a full moon, or the will of God, but you and I are agreeing way too often lately.

I'm sure that he has no regrets that he started with a '68 convertible...

I don't know where to start. Kammback / shooting brake is cool, but this thing is beyond berklyed...

They used to sell a "Camaro" nose for these things and it looks like this may have one of those, or at least home grown copy of an already horrible idea.

I actually think its pretty groovy. I knda want it. wonder if hed drop a zero....

Looks like an older Michigan plate

Some guy (or previous owner) in my area ruined his Corvette by installing the same Kit. I see it at local cruise nights all the time. I can't help but think he took away at least one of the zeros before the decimal point by installing it.

I like everything but the frontend treatment. If the price was much cheaper, like 1k or so, I'd be all over it.

I want it! for $500.00

I would totally put in a turbo rotary and rock the E36 M3 out of that!

Maybe he forgot to mention the $10000 in the glove box?
