We got this email confirmation from Chuck Miller:

"Hi ... So nice get your email. Yes I did build and I personally own the Corvette that you just purchased. To my best recollection I built the car in 1975-76. I had chrome reverse wheels on it, not the one that is on it now. I also don't think I had side exhaust on it There was one other one like yours that was built, but it is gone now. You might have the only one.

I myself build and owned three or four wagons back then, and still own one today. In the 70s I built 15-20 vette wagons for a lot of customers, as well as selling kits for them to convert themselves.Yours was one of my favorite. I should have kept it but you can't keep them all.

All through the 70s I was busy building a lot of show cars, Red Baron, Sonic Cuda,Zingers, Fire Truck, Rapid Transit System for Chrysler Corp. etc.

If I can be of any more help feel free to email me.

All the best to you and enjoy driving your new Corvette.

Chuck Miller"
