V8 vega

[Jim Caughlin]

That brings back fond memories of my youth, I remember all the V8 Vegas in the staging lanes with their windshield wiper blades duct taped down.

The Vega was always a POS like the pinto.

THERE, that brightened up the post and my Sunday morning!

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 also forgot about the broken windshields from chassis flex.
