UP FOR SALE I HAVE MY 1973 VEGA. I BOUGHT THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK WITH THE INTENTIONS OF A WINTER PROJECT BUT I REALLY DONT HAVE THE TIME TO DO THIS CAR UP RIGHT. HOWEVER THAT DOESNT MEAN IM GONNA GIVE IT AWAY! I THINK THE RESERVE IS VERY FAIR! THIS CAR IS AN OLD SCHOOL BUILD FROM THE 1980'S. ORIGINAL BUILDER WAS DENNIS SMITH FROM KEWANNA INDIANA. WHEN I GOT THE CAR IT HAD LICENSE PLATES FROM 1987 ON IT, AND THE VEGA HAD BEEN IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ENGINE IS A 327 FROM A 69 CORVETTE. CASTING NUMBERS ARE 3970010 -NUMBERS ON THE FRONT PAD ARE C6F 338750 V1029TXD. HEAD CASTING NUMBERS ARE 3782461 AND THE CARBURETOR CASTING NUMBERS ARE 7029207. THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD BUT IS VERY UGLY,AND SMOKES FROM THE RIGHT BANK. I BELIEVE THE QUADRAJET CARBURETOR IS JUNK AS THE ENGINE HAS VERY POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE UNLESS YOU HOLD THE CHOKE CLOSED. WHICH MAKES THE CAR NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS OF THE ENGINE RUNNING AND REVVING. http://s990.photobucket.com/albums/af30/dhdaniels/1973%20vega/?albumview=slideshow LOTS OF PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!! http://s990.photobucket.com/albums/af30/dhdaniels/?action=view¤t=100_0012.mp4 ENGINE RUNNING AND REV VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://s990.photobucket.com/albums/af30/dhdaniels/?action=view¤t=100_0013.mp4 ENGINE RUNNING AND WALK AROUND VIDEO!!!!!!!! http://s990.photobucket.com/albums/af30/dhdaniels/?action=view¤t=100_0014.mp4 BARKIN TIRES IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!! THE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION, IT DOES HAVE MINOR DINGS AND SCRATCHES AND BONDO BUBBLES, BUT KEEP IN MIND THIS CAR HASNT BEEN TOUCHED IN 20+ YEARS. THE ONLY PLACE RUST IS VISIBLE IS ON THE TRUNK EXTENSIONS. THESE ARE WHAT FILL THE GAP BETWEEN THE REAR QUARTER AND THE TRUNK PAN. THEY ARENT VISIBLE UNLESS YOU CLIMB UNDER THE CAR, AND WOULD NORMALLY BE HIDDEN BY THE REAR VALANCE. THIS VEGA HAS A SQUARE TUBE FRAME THAT RUNS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE CAR. HAS A FORD 9 INCH WITH STRANGE AXLES HELD IN WITH LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION. THIS CAR DRIVES NICE AND SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT. THE FIREWALL AND ENGINE HAVE BEEN MOVED BACK SEVERAL INCHES. CAR SEEMS TO BE BUILT VERY WELL AND THE ALUMINUM WORK LOOKS VERY GOOD. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AND OPERATES WITH NO PROBLEMS. INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE HEADLINER IS PERFECT. DOORS ALL OPEN AND CLOSE NICELY. IVE TRIED TO INCLUDE AS MUCH INFORMATION WITH THIS LISTING AS POSSIBLE, IM SURE IVE LEFT OUT SOME DETAILS SO PLEASE EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS. I WILL MAKE THIS GUARANTEE.. IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER AND YOU COME TO GET THIS VEGA AND ARENT COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH IT, I WILL LET YOU OUT OF THE DEAL WITH NO HARD FEELINGS!! PAYMENT WILL BE CASH AT TIME OF PICKUP. CAR WILL HAVE TO BE TRAILERED DUE TO THE CARB ISSUES. CHECK THE LINKS TO THE VIDEOS AND PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE A CLEAR INDIANA TITLE IN MY NAME. I ALSO HAVE THE FENDER TAG.
