If your significant other doesn’t think a Corvette is a very practical choice for the family, maybe you ought to show her this 1973 project Corvette hatchback/wagon for sale on Craigslist out of Lomita, California with an asking price of $6,550.
This custom Stingray definitely needs some tender loving care, but it also has the potential to be a big topic of conversation at the next car show it visits.
We remember seeing cars like this in magazines when we were growing up back in the ’70s, and we have to admit that we kinda dig it, Daddy-O. While the hatchback doesn’t really offer easy access, the modified body still adds to the limited storage space in stock C3s.
Admittedly, there is a lot of work to be done, including a check of the repairs to the right front fender that are already “completed” but just how well, we’re not sure.
Definitely a new paint job of the entire car is in the cards, and obviously, at a minimum, the interior needs the door panels reattached as they are shown resting up against the body in one of the photos.
The car’s 350 engine with headers and HEI distributor is said to start and run, though there’s no mention of how well.
Other features include a four-speed manual transmission, power brakes, power steering, and 18-inch wheels – but no air conditioning.
You’ll also have to repair the power windows and the car needs a windshield, according to the listing.
Add some fuzzy dice, though, and you’ll definitely be ready to rock ‘n’ roll with the best of them at the next Cars & Coffee. Can you dig it?

Holy jumpin’ up and down Jody, this thing is right up there with the strangest Corvette that I have ever seen! I guess that I get what he or she was trying to do, but I’m afraid they failed miserably. I see absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever in whatever this was intended to be.
Ah, but just imagine this “shooting brake” with a wild yet tasteful psychedelic paint job, smoked glass t-tops and matching flush-mounted smoked glass windows that curve up the sides and meet in the middle of the hatchback roof (to let light permeate into that current “tunnel”), a self opening/supporting/closing mechanism on the rear hatch (to eliminate the need for a broomstick handle support), and a colour-coordinated supple leather interior that includes chrome runner strips embedded in the plushly carpeted floor of the rear hatch. It could be spectacular!!!
Jeez that thing is a terrible waste of a classic 73 Corvette!
