V8 vega

[Billy Nees]

Yeah, Vegas, Pintos, Gremlins, Monzas and Mustang IIs were pretty horrible. But in the 70s and 80s they were what we had that were light and plentiful. They served their purpose until the 3rd gen Camaros and Fox-body Mustangs came out.

A teenager a stout small block and a Vega street car you either had some driving skills or probably ended up dead. What a horrible street car but man what a blast.

I still think a chassis Vega on the ground dragging big rubber is a great looking drag car.

You think a fox body with light *** and a v8 with a 4bbl and a manual was any safer?? Had 83gt two weeks to the day and endo'd 7 times in snow!That was 40 years ago, now it's a '79 U/SA! lol!!

I sold it to buy my dream ride 1953 F100 and been driving fords ever since also tuned many of the local hot rods and it was many years later before I wrenched on a fox body street car that would’ve out ran it but since then I have worked on plenty that would’ve. But I still think the Don Hardy race cars inc. stickers that came with the kit and took up almost the whole bottom of the rear side windows and big collectors that dragged on every bump sure was cool.

I apologize for the high jack. I know from experience that the wipers on a 55 Chevy will lay out on the hood at around 120 MPH.
