New Toy.....for now anyway.

[ONEBADMK8]

Couldn't pass this up.
The car is a 1975 Vega with 35k on it. It was built in 1976 and painted like these pics in 83ish?
It was in Super Chevy 2 times & HotRod mag (He has the books) It was in dry storage in a shipment container for 26 years with bags of charcoal and all LOL. It was hand painted and striped by Geaorges Customs in Kentucky (Anyone from Kentucky ever hear of this Guy) where the car was built. It's a time capsule. Its perfect in every way, even has Summers Bros. axels and Mcreary tires! LOL!

Please tell me you are gonna change its name...... or at least dress like Kevin Bacon when racing it.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

LOL I may decal over it but the name stays for resale.

Nice find. I would love to have the wooly mammoth from pinks.

 

[ground_zero298]

u lazy ass, you couldnt wipe it off for the pics? I kind of like it in a strange creepy way, i dunno for sure.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Wait until I get it home. It's snowed in. I did compond a small spot on the fender ans the paint looks 1 day old.

 

[ground_zero298]

Nice find man

 

[hrmwrm]

i think somebody stole something while in storage. looks a little empty up front.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Yeah the engine went bye bye back in 86. Used to have a blown small block.

 

[hrmwrm]

bringin her back to life or just investin?

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Maybe and engine drop a Summer of fun the resell.
I dunno yet. I have to bring her home this week and decide between the Vega and the T/A who goes, who stays? LOL

I just HATE the 74 and up Vega body. If was the earlier body I'd drop the T/A in heartbeat!

 

[hrmwrm]

well, good luck either way. being so small, bet she rip's with even something mild.
thought they were kinda cool looking when they first came out. to bad the cosworth's didn't stand up.
liked the little opel gt's then too. kinda like a mini vette.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Yes I too always loved the Opel's at the track when I was a kid. There were a ton of them back in the late 70's early 80's now you hardly ever see them.

 

[ford nut]

Just say no to the vega!!!

 

[ONEBADMK8]

LMAOooooooooooooo

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Got it home tonight. Check it out. Came out sweet. 2 step compound and a wax on the front clip. Ill add more pics as I dig into it. So far, VERY cooooool car. The pics speak for themselvs. I think I am keeping it.

Perfect for selling!!!

 

[richduty455]
