Make no mistake: having endured driving a family-owned used 1976 Vega Kammback wagon, I can personally attest to these cars being Malaise-Era at its finest(?). Here’s a quick video of a similar Nomad edition confirming our understanding of the history of this model: The ZL5 package cost dealers $168 but we don’t know how much dealers then charged buyers.
Motortown then shipped completed Kammbacks to the ordering dealer. Dealers would factory order a standard Vega Wagon and by selecting option ZL5, Motortown Corporation of Dearborn, Michigan would receive the new Kammback add the Nomad package, which would transform the Vega into a resemblance of the 1955-57 Chevy Nomad wagon. Each dealer could order only one Nomad edition. In an effort to boost Vega sales in 1976, Chevrolet offered a Tri-Five inspired Nomad trim package on its two-door Kammback wagon models. Comparing that price against the Collector Car Market Review Online Tool confirms the private seller has their Nomad priced optimistically between this guide’s #3 “Good” estimate of $4,600 and its #2 “Very Good” appraisal of $6,900. Our latest example is this 1976 Chevrolet Vega Kammback wagon equipped with the ZR5 Nomad trim package originally still listed here on Craigslist in Valley Center, California (Escondido) for the asking price of $5,500 firm. Hardly a week goes by where we don’t get schooled on a rare car we didn’t know existed. The pictures, description, and firm price all remain the same.
