MEH Talking out their azzez
My Not so cool Vega

[jerry455]

Vegas and Monzas are so cool. I would love to find another 1977 Spyder V8 car, like I had in high school in 1979. These articles are so bad, it is like a train wreck, I can't stop reading it. The writers never seem to know anything about what they are writing about.

Some care are so geeked, they become cool: AMC Pacer, Vega, Pinto Wagon, and..... 74 GTO, and Sunbirds.

Sleepers if not already high dollar for fine condition.

There is a Chevy Chevette at AMES foundatoon... just sayin...
The Vega only needed engine sleeves in the AL. block AND a ton of Quaker Coat ( wool wax) between the panels.

I remember a high school classmate getting a brand new Orange Vega for a 16th birthday present. He was a lucky rich kid. By graduation the next year, it had multiple body panels rusted all the way through, fist size holes. Unbelievable. It also smoked like a freight train and had a very noisy engine. Not a fan.

I had a 72 Vega hatchback living in a suburb of Cleveland. By 74 it did have some rust holes, but was still running ok with no smoke. A girl in her daddy's Buick Electria Rear ended me. Wrinkles on the driver's side stopped at the middle of the back wheel well. Passenger side the wrinkles stopped at the base of the windshield. Wife had to crawl over the gearshift to get out. Body panels were wrapped around the rear of the passenger door.

Got to the point where there were so many Vegas and Pacers at the local Pick Your Part yard with almost nobody buying parts off of them that the yard stopped taking them in, this was in the mid-1980s.

My friend bought a ‘74 Vega GT right out of high school as a used car right around 1977. It was a 4-speed stick, you had to slip the clutch quite a lot just to get moving in first gear. Always sounded kinda rough and it died as expected just a little before it had 60k miles on it which was the norm.

No rust issues here in So Cal so it was mechanical issues that usually sent them to the scrap yard. They were popular for V8 swaps back then but after maybe 10 years you rarely ever saw one on the road, haven’t seen one in probably 30 years here.

Another friend’s family bought one in ‘71 when they first came out, traded in a cherry black 1963 Impala SS 327 Powerglide car for it. Man I bet they were sorry they got that cute ‘mini-Camaro’ after a few years.

Or a "bot".

Some of these clickbait articles read like they were not written by a human. Or a human for whom English is not their native tongue.
