    Crazy I know but I dig it anyways.....

    Looks like a little Nu-Finish and elbow grease and you would be the hit of the local car show. I havent seen one as original or in this good of shape in decades.

    There's something you don't see every day. Who'd-a-thunk that car would be desirable at any point in time?
    Are those faux louvers on the rear 1/4's??

    Re the louvers, thats the way they came and yeah, they were around $1995 because I bought a new bug for the same price. I actually looked at a new Vega and they were nice looking little cars, too bad the motors were pretty prone to overheating and meltdown. Re dropping a V8, nope, thats why I like this one. Probably 90% of the Vegas left have 350's in them, you never see one with an original motor. When they were new you could get a notchback coupe, a fastback, a wagon or the panel wagon (my fave). Im not going to buy this because Ive got my van project going but every day I see something cool on CL that I think "if only I had the big Butler building on a couple of acres..." Looks like all this one needs is some shining up and a JC Whitney ornament removal.
