I'm selling here, what I believe to be one of the NICEST V-8 Vega's on the planet. I'm 55, have been into Hot Rods since I was 12, and this is the cleanest, most tasteful one I've seen. It's an original, Socal it's whole life, rust free, original "blue" plate car that was bought in neighboring San Bernardino (I'm in the San Fernando Valley). It's a true nut and bolt restoration with many NOS parts, and tastefully made into a reliable and useful Hot Rod. It's got a 5.7 rodded 406 with Edlebrock aluminum heads, an Isky solid stick (Z-35), Performer air Gap and Holley DP carb. It's got a full manual, reverse valve body TH400 with a brake. 12 bolt rear with Summers axles, Richmond 3.73's, and Eaton Posi. Aluminum driveshaft, S-10 spindles/brakes, Line Locs, 3" exh to the Flows, and 2 1/2" from there back round out some of the underpinnings. Look how neatly the builder tucked the radiator under the header panel (see engine pictures) to give a cleaner, less obstructive engine compartment. There are many thoughtful ideas throughout. The car was stripped top and bottom, all glass removed, the body blocked to PERFECTION and then brilliantly painted in Cortez Silver. It's beautiful. NOS mirrors/bumpers/hatch glass.......It drives as good as it looks. Let your hands off the wheel at 100 MPH, and hit the brakes without fear of the car doing anything unpredictable. I'm certain I'm overlooking a LOT. But, there's just so much, I'll let the pics speak for themselves. AS-IS, you cover shipping from 91352, and 10% non-refundable deposit in 48 hours of auction's end, and balance in the next 5 working days are my terms. Look at my feedback, ask me ANYTHING you'd like, and bid with confidence. Oh, runs mid-hi 11's, and you can drive it home from the track while your buddies are loading theirs onto trailers On May-02-10 at 06:57:02 PDT, seller added the following information: Four of us went to the Nostalgia Drags (Dragfest) in Bakerfield yesterday. Not with the Vega, we were just there to watch. My 3 friends, that haven't been here in months, and all fired up by the day's events wanted to see the Vega again. They all agreed they'd forgot how NICE the car is, and all mentioned that if anyone saw it, they'd buy it. That said, if any of you are in a position to do so, PLEASE do! Come and see it, I'll buy lunch.
