That looks really good! My favorite generation of Chevrolet Chevelles for sure! These are very rarely seen as models, so I'm really happy to see one done this well. Good job doing the conversion.

What kits did you use? You said you used an MPC Chevelle Malibu as a base kit. But which one was it? Also where did you get that Wagon roof and stock front end (if it didn't come with the kit).

Only minor "flaw" I see is that the rear end should be curved a bit more forward just before the rear bumper. But that's a small thing - I'm very happy to see one of these built and this is a really nice and clean build despite that minor thing. B)

Very cool. '73 was the only year you could have gotten the SS package with the Chevelle wagon. That's the version I'd like to see offered as kit someday. But, I'm holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

Super! I like rare cars and wagons are always cool *thumbsup* The woodish sides are cool. It looks a little strange vertically instead of the "normal" way horizontally ;)
A good mix of other cool donor cars :)

Beautiful job! I once owned a yellow '73 Chevelle Laguna wagon - The only year Checy made that model. Laguna was the high-end luxury version of the Chevelle in '73, replaced by the Malibu Classic for 1974. The Laguna Type S-3 replaced the Chevelle SS from 1974 through 1977. Anyhow, enough of the history lesson. Your model gives me the inspiration to FINALLY attempt to make a model of my car - One of my favorites of the non-Corvairs I've owned over the years. Hewre's a photo of a similar car I found online a while back - My car had Rally wheels, not mags:

Not sure if anyone cars but Ron Andrews of RMRModels is doing a 75 Vista Cruiser. You can find it on facebook. I bought one. Not perfect but a good start.
