That’s right up there with the original Chevy Vega, with the aluminum block and no cylinder liners.

It wasn’t a bad looking car, the ugliness was hidden under the hood.

The Vega was a race car. The race was between the engine self-destructing and the body rusting out.

Had a neighbor who bought up blown Vegas and dropped Ford 289 in them and needed up the suspension, gears, and rear. He sold them like hotcakes.

Precisely. Size and style were fine for its class.
