i bought a vega as my first car. $3,500. and man did it rust out. the panels in the back went almost instantly, and one day i looked down and could see thru the floor.

Once rode from Branson to Fayetteville, AR in a Vega. Damned thing tracked sideways! The body was actually cocked to the L on the non-existent frame! When driving, one had to look slightly to the right to see straight ahead!

Good thing I had a couple cold ones with me....What a sad, sad, car.

I had a '72 Vega that me and my Air Force buddies dropped a souped-up 350 engine and a 2-speed automatic into. Bought a kit from a company called "Don Hardy" to do it. (I think that was the company name)

That thing was FAST!

That is precisely why a friend of mine put a v8 in his vega wagon and foam sprayed the undercarriage(he did it for the noise, probably had no idea about the rust). He won so many races with that thing, because no one believed they could lose to it.
