'73 Vega GT, amazingly nice time capsule
I'd ruin this one with a SBC...what else would you do with it in stock trim? Very cool to see such a nicely preserved example.

Good looking clean car.
Sitting in an LS-6 Chevelle at a corner Drive-In one evening,parked next to a '71 Hemi Cuda & a GTO Judge in the summer of '79. A Vega GT pulls up to the stop light,intoxicated passenger opens the door and proclaims to us,"The GT Package is No Slouch!" as he threw up on the street curb.Light soon turns green,the girl behind the wheel slowly drives away. To this day,that has always underscored the Vega to me. |

Sincerely, that must have been great. Nice Vega, agree on the SBC swap. Done in a manner that leaves the stock hood. |

Love it too also agree it needs a SBC, how could you not? Sure did lots of T-Belts on these also wrecked a few decent ones for the Saginaws/Seats/Steering Wheels/Tires. ~ Pete .

Yep, I'm with Tony on slipping a small bock in it. I've always wanted a V8 Vega GT. There was a guy that worked for my Dad back in the early 70s that had a orange/white stripe Vega GT. Not a V8, but I always liked the mini Camaro look and wanted one.

Slip an LS and a 5 speed into it. Narrowed 12 bolt and all stock appearing on the outside.

Had a new 71 first car thought about putting a v8 in it then traded it in on a 69 34 dart

Must have moved to CA before the first snowfall. Invoice does indicate rust proofing, but still, it would have rusted from the inside out, if it was up here very long. Olds Toro swap... I had a '71 I bought for $50 in '76, after the guys girlfriend threw his bowling ball over their apartment balcony....right thru the windshield...
