You are bidding on a 1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega, VIN# 1V7706U215844, which was built in Lordstown, OH in April 1976. First I would like to point out that this is a VERY RARE Cosworth from the standpoint of a couple of statistics, ……. besides the fact it still maintains its original paint and the window sticker was never removed, it is one of 1447, 1976 Cosworths ever made. The Cosworth’s Dash Number is “3046.” All 1975 Cosworths were Black with Black Interior, like the majority of the 1976’s. This Cosworth is Firethorn Metallic with Custom White and Firethorn Accented Interior, which makes this Cosworth very rare. A NUMBERS MATCHING, Hand Built, 16 Valve Hemispherical Combustion, Fuel Injected, Dual Overhead Cam, Factory Stainless Steel Headers, Aluminum 4 Cylinder Cosworth Engine, with a 5 Speed, 4.10 Rear End, powers it. It runs extremely strong. The Cosworth has only approximately 17,900 miles on it. Yes, … this is a true numbers matching car! All of the numbers under the hood match perfectly! Everything is there including the correct clamps, hoses, labels, etc.! This car has never been judged, but if this car were, it would have to score extremely high, since only a couple of things have been done to it in its 35-year life. The only changes made to the Cosworth have been the installation of re-indexed Cam Sprockets and the installation of a straight pipe in place of the Catalytic Converter and a new Cosworth Muffler to increase performance, and the re-coring of the original radiator to insure the cooling is perfect. (Should the High Bidder desire, I will provide the original Catalytic Converter.) The rear Shocks have been replaced with GM Goodwrench Delco Shocks, and both original Fuel Pumps have been rebuilt. As previously noted, the paint is original and in very nice condition (Please See Pics). The paint scheme is Firethorn, with White and Firethorn Custom Vinyl Interior. It comes with black wall radials (less than 800 miles) and the appropriate and original 1976 Aluminum Rims, Lug Nuts, and Center Caps. The spare is the original Goodyear 13” Tire, which looks like it has never hit the ground. Options include as follows; Soft Ray Tinted Glass, Color Keyed Floor Mats, 5 Speed Manual, Radial Black Walls, and AM Radio. Yes, it still has the correct original Headlights. The Interior is all-original, and it is in near mint condition. All of the gages function properly, including the clock. The only issue is that sometimes the gas gage reads correctly, and sometimes it decides to read “E.” Manuals and paperwork are in the Glove Box (Warranty Book, Original Owners Manual, etc.). Since this Cosworth was purchased from the Original Owner, besides having the Window Sticker and Miles Per Gallon Stickers still attached to the window, included in the sale is the Dealer Copy Order Sheet, the Build Sheet, and the Original Invoice from Graham Chevytown, Mansfield, OH. This car has all of the hard to find original parts in near mint condition. Not bad for a car that is 35 years old! If you are looking for the “Correct Cosworth” to either DRIVE or be JUDGED, this is it. Thus, Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
