Also the rear hatch would not close without slamming it. I also had constant front end alignment issues, The front end would spread apart because I had made the rad support removable. Had to add a extra brace.

These V8 Vegas were assembled by Div 1 champ, Joe DeLorenzo in New Haven for Bob Johnson.
They were brand new cars with a warrantee. The std. engine was the 1970 LT1, also new..
The Don Hardy kit was used in the assembly

Very fast little cars as you can imagine....

There's more on the 'net, I'm sure.

If that’s a POS then I’m putting a POS on my Santa list!

A big tired Vega with a flat hood is something you don’t ever see I think that might be my favorite Vega ever.
