Default Re: The Chevy Vega - 74GT

Saw this post and had to add this. A close friend ran a body shop in MA and came across a damaged Buick SkyLark Coupe with the V-8 in it. About a 75. It sat at the shop for awhile until he had the opportunity to purchase a 75 Vega Nomad station wagon. From AZ. NO RUST. He had the V-8 rebuilt, (big bucks) bought a low profile blower and put it in the Vega. SCARY CAR, but fun. We are now in our 70's, he isn't well and the car just sits in his garage at home. SAD
