    Hey guys! This is a 1973 Chevelle SS Wagon. A true survivor with 42k on the original 454. Everything is original on the car with the exception of the air cleaner and wheels and tires. I have been looking for a true "SS" for some time and finally lucked out with this one.

    Excellent find, badtemper44!

    Of course you know how rare and unusual those are. We like to know all about it (we, meaning ME). I would suggest in your case to add a gallery page for your wagon, since it's so unique.

    I've seen a few of these in pictures, and some of them have seen better days. Yours is quite possibly the best of the bunch.

    I do remember a thread I ran on the '73 Malibu SS wagon...
    (Found it!)
    http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9831&highlight='73+Malibu+SS+wagon

    Unfortunately none of the pics got saved. I'm wondering if perhaps your wagon was indeed the one in the E-bay auction. It seems vaguely familiar to me.

    Well anyway, welcome to the forum!
