Corvette Sportwagon Hauls Everything in Greenwood Style!

“An example of daze gone by,” custom Corvette received wagon conversion in the late ’70s, kit supplied by legend John Greenwood.

For a while in the C3 era, the Corvette could haul ass down the highway, but not the groceries. Both coupe and convertible lacked any sort of useable space behind the seats. It wouldn’t be until the last years of the C3 when the ‘Vette finally got a bubble rear window with plenty of room for golf clubs, though only the ’82 Collector Edition had a hatchback version.

Thus, while most were happy with what they had, a few wanted more utility for their Corvettes without buying a Suburban. Enter Chuck Miller, who built the first Corvette Sportwagon in the Seventies. A few years later, per CarThrottle, ‘Vette legend John Greenwood kicked it to the next level, leading to rides like this one we found on Classic Cars for Sale.

“This is a very unique 1976 Corvette with Can Am wagon conversion done in the late ’70s,” the seller wrote in 2015. Yes, 2015. Turns out this was an eBay ad, according to Corvette Blogger. The ‘Vette received its Greenwood Can-Am looks in California, where custom rides are the norm.

There is, of course, one issue with the Corvette wagon. If the entire point is to increase usability in the rear section, then why place a rear spoiler in front of the glass hatch? Though it appears anyone can open it, loading and unloading through the hatch seems more work than necessary. And it’s not like the side glass can open, either. Cool wing, though, yeah?

Inside, the Corvette is pure late Seventies personal luxury. The plush, diamond-quilted velour seating includes a pair of “seats” in the rear. An interesting touch for your pets or infants, but only your bags will truly enjoy such luxury.

This Corvette wagon is, as the seller said, “an example of daze gone by.” You’ll never see it again, either. The C8 era guarantees the ‘Vette wagon a thing of the past. Unless, of course, you love blind spots and melted ice cream. Such creatures, though, leave a mark upon all who see it, long after they’ve rumbled away.
