Re: Cosworth Vega
What made a Cosworth a Cosworth? What motivated that bad boy?!
Thanks,

Re: Cosworth Vega
If you belong to the NCRS discussion board, A guy there by the name of Duke Williams owns a Cosworth and is very, very knowledgeable on them. He usually has his "ears on" so if you write him a note over there he should respond.
Good Luck Paul |

Re: Cosworth Vega
4 valves per cylinder, for one thing.
I don't think they're worth too much, and I think there are a bunch of low-mileage ones out there too. |

Re: Cosworth Vega
I knew they were not big dollar cars. Would 12K be out line for a nice example?

Re: Cosworth Vega
I believe every one I have ever seen has een "low Mileage" They were the first cars to be thought "collectable" and saved with all paperwork and low miles.

Re: Cosworth Vega
twin overhead cams.
http://www.cosworthvega.com/ "One Vega for the price of two." -1975 Cosworth Ad The Cosworth Vega, featuring a Twin-Cam (DOHC) 16 valve aluminum cylinder head designed by Cosworth Enginnering, finally arrived in March '75, a model year late. (engine failed EPA emmisions certification in '74.) It's purpose was to "create excitement" for the entire Vega line, as only 3,508 were built thru mid- '76. All 2061 75's were black. (not avaliable on normal Vegas.) Interior choices were custom black or white vinyl, and black custom cloth. '76's were black in addition to any Vega exterior color and interior combination. All featured "Cosworth Twin-Cam" transfer I.D. on fenders and rear panel, gold transfer pinstripping on sides, hood buldge, wheel openings, and rear panel. Gold painted 13x6 aluminum wheels, "engine turned" gold dash bezel and gold plated plaque with build number. The Cosworth had even better weight distibution than the GT. The true world class handling ability of the Cosworth Vega- ...."almost won the whole damn thing." -quote from Road Test magazine-July '76 comparison track test versus the likes of Alfa Romeo, Saab, Mazda Cosmo Rotary and Lancia Sport Sedans. The hand built Cosworth engine was ALL aluminum. Cosworth engine shared the Vega aluminum block, but was fitted with forged components and domed pistons. Stainless steel headers and electronic fuel injection rounded out the package. Destroked to 2.0 liters, the Cosworth engine was noticably smoother than the 2.3 engine, while providing power increase. Unfortunatly, by '75, Vega had gained some 300 lbs, and Cosworth engine's horsepower was down from 130 (on '74 prototype) to 110 on production model. The result- Although car tested 0-60 under 10 seconds, its handling abilities praised, and collectible status assured, there was some dissapointment with the car. Test results had looked better on the prototype, combined with the high price (six hundred less than corvette ) buyers stayed away. Blame the EPA.. http://www.h-body.org/library/vegabo...-complete.html |
