Complete auto body & Interior
Engine & transmission
Complete interior new suspension good (this upholstery
Nationalized) papers
I HAVE THE AMERICAN PAPERS
TANVI
This for a good project only
I have the transmission
OOo kit is the 700
If you want also are$ 200dlls more
I have radiator of 4 starter copper lines
Only missing engine not missing nothing
Pure engine

So its only missing the engine but not missing nothing??????? Trying to work that one out??
Interestingly, I see that it has amber turn lenses grafted into the rear tail lights. There was a recent thread on this about some lights that had been grafted onto a Chev Nova Wagon in Thailand. Local laws again I guess???

If that 70 silver Cat wagon had a black interior, it would rock. Sport mirrors were an option that year I guess? They look good. The big center grille works well on a big wagon. Add Rallye's, ditch the luggage rack, detrim the sides a little, Tripower 455...… I'm off to Tijuana!

Indeed, if it was a little closer I'd be tempted to look at it.. would make a good stable mate for my '70 Bonneville!

Maybe I'm out of touch here but I don't think that's crazy money for such a clean car that you just don't see anywhere in any condition anymore. I'd like it a lot more if it were a manual shift car. Even so, it's pretty neat to see in that condition.

Who actually wants that car though? Sure not me.. all I can think when I see that car is "It's a damn shame they didn't pick a better car to preserve"

If everyone had the same tastes the world would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? It would be better with a manual transmission, but I like that Vega.

Not my personal taste for sure...but I appreciate the fact that someone preserved it so well. Brings back memories actually. I had a girlfriend in the late '70s that had a Pontiac version of that same car. 4spd Astre wagon in light metallic blue...without the woodgrain..
