I bought a new 1973 Vega Hatchback in 1972. I really enjoyed it. I got the large radiator that was standard for the air conditioner equipped Vegas, but no A/C and it ran well. I left it in Germany when I departed there in 1978, unfortunately the salt on the German roads took its toll on the body work.

I ordered a new Chevy Monza station wagon to replace the Vega, because I liked the Vega so much. The Monza was actually the Vega ‘Kammback” but with the Pontiac Sunbird cast iron engine. I ran that little baby from Dec 1978 until May 1992, when the oil seals went and I decided not to fix it.
