Welcome to the forum Angus.;35

Must say its different, where did you find it?

gtc · February 04, 2009, 08:40:46 PM

I was not sure what to expect, given some horrendous looking attempts to accomplish a Vette wagon, but I am amazed by how good that looks!

Very nice indeed. Congrats!

BE SURE TO BRING IT TO THE WARRIEWOOD SHOW ON SUNDAY MARCH 1.

I found her in the states while we were at Corvettes at Carlisle last year. I met the owner and he said the car was for sale. The car was not there at the time so I only saw it on his web page .I had a picture of the car for over a year before I even knew it was for sale

I know a lot of die hards bag the sh#t out of these, but I personally reckon they'd make a cool dailly driver.

Congrats on the new ride - it looks sweet!

I'm with Demonx,

It is a unique ride!

I'd go as far as speculating the new Holden Sportwagon perhaps has grabbed some cues??

It does not seem to have the "T-Tops" removeable roof panels like a regular Corvette??

this is the OTHER vette wagon that lives in australia...gone is the blown big block...

Makes sense. I dislike flairs. My personal opinion is they don't look right on the body shape of a corvette, however I know there are MANY who'll disagree!
