That is on my list of potentials! 1996 had the LT1 engine. Still pretty new, you can find em with low miles, slap some paint, wheels, known for a luxurious interior! Even love the woody side panels! Very nice vehicle!
Amazing what some nice wheels and a slight suspension mod will do!
Love the paintwork on this one, sister vehicle Chevy!

or...
The sportswagon thing was a thing in the late-60s/early-70s.
Remember the Jensen Healey GT?
And the MGB-GT?
Heck, even Aston Martin did a Shooting Brake.

Here's 2 guys who did one-offs and I built plenty of their plastic model copies. I would love to own one of the real cars.
George Barris
Ed Roth.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Barris was not a very nice guy... put a phone in one of the cars he built for Dick Tracy, and asked him to sign a model of the Batmobile I built as a kid. He told me where to put the car and then go **** myself.

I would've smashed that one right then and there, then I would go get my other models of his design and smash the h**l out them and stomp on them too right in front of him. He's a POS to say that to a fan. Wth is wrong with him?!

It didn’t work (predictably), but this is still an option:
- 603 bhp
- 4.0L V8 bi-turbo
- 627 ft-lb torque @ 2,500-4,500 rpm
- 3.4 sec 0-60 mph
- Still manages 16 mpg (city), 23 mpg (highway)
It’s been around for years (with different engines), so there must be some market for it.Alea jacta est! -
P.S. But not what I would call a classic car, by any stretch...Alea jacta est!

Torino with a 428 Super Cobra Jet. Not my favorite but from the sounds of it, I wouldn't mind going through some sets of tires with one...
[EDIT -] Just saw your post above...haha. Same car (I think). What engine did yours have?
Tom~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
Those R pretty So many memories of the glory days of Dee-troit iron.
There were "fastback" Galaxies, too, at one point. Remember those? Whales of automobiles.

Mine had a 390 w/Holley intake and 4bbl.
Hooker headers with glass packs exhausting in front of the rear wheels.
Borg Warner super T10 tranny w/Hurst shifter. Zoom clutch, etc.
And rear air shocks with traction bars.
It was fun......

Not as big as these... and you could get them with the shifter mounted in a center console.
