Mine was a 74 station wagon. I had to keep a case of Quaker State in the back and a change of plugs because it was always fouling them. No other piece of junk do I have such fond memories of and wish I had back.
Had a buddy that had a Vega with a 4 barrel 350 V8 conversion, it was great going straight but useless on a road with curves. Goo wrapped it around an oak tree late one night...... JD

ReplyDeleteHa, another satisfied Vega owner. Had a 73 oil burner myself, 1 qt every 100 miles.

DeleteBlue one looks like a Nova, somewhere around the same vintage.
DeleteI think it's a Vega, but they not only cut up the hood, but cut the center out of the bumper to fit in a larger radiator.

They'll pass anything on the road, except a gas station.
