This post made me think of my 9C1 optioned 1981 Chevy Bel-Air Wagon. Was a Malibu wagon with different nameplate/options.
 
The Olds 442 Wagon - so rare they made none!!!

Your car is a "one off"... :lol: Very well done, I might add.
 
I think one of the rarest g body wagons that I've seen was one Buick made, a special century turbo sport wagon with factory buckets, console, with floor shifter.I seen two, one was two tone light metalic blue, the other was two tone gold/brown, they had blacked out trim with the late 70's buick eagal with the wings wide spread above the buick script on their tail gates, and on the front fenders they also had the buick eagal in flight about to grasp it's prey. I do belive they had the 3.8 V6 Turbo and the turbo hood bulge.

I think the regal/century wagons were the rarest. Malibus would be most common, followed by cutlasses, then the pontiacs.

Aren't the Regal/Century Wagons based on an A-Body chassis though? Same with the Malibu, and the Cutlass... at least from the late 70's, early 80's.

I only know that because I own an '80 Century Wagon, and it's an A-Body chassis.

The Century turbo wagon sounds like it would be a cool find. I've never heard of that particular one produced before. However, different cars came out of Canada vs, the U.S. I have heard about a fastback Century turbo coupe with rear spoiler and hood bulge. It was actually a turbo charged V-8. I understand that they were slugs, much like the V-8 turbo Trans Am's. I saw one on a website several years ago. It was a pretty cool looking car. I wouldn't mind owning one.
I'd love to see a picture of one of the Century wagons that you described..

Technically, even my '79 Malibu is an A-body. Although the G-body is a continuation of the late A-body series, the frames are virtually the same, except of course for the different lengths of the various models.

The blue one I seen was in Geneva Switzerland in the early 80, it was owned by a US diplomat, the brown and Gold one was here in London Ontario. I doubt that the turbo wagon was an export only model. You got to remember that in the late 70's early 80's wagons were not given a secound thought and just driven into the ground.the fast back century turbo coupe had the 3.8 V6 turbo, the carburated ones...those too were not loved and driven into the ground, the turbo wagon and slant back coupes shared the same decal package.
