Three say Vega, one says Camaro.

Guess the Vegas have it.
Is that an expensive car? Is it any good? I really like the look of it.

>>14828958
Oh jesus... well, fuck.
Uh, ok, that's awful.

>>14828968
I believe he is reversing to rust issues. A solid car like that will be structurally fine. But the I4 engine in them is widely regarded as one of the worst engines ever made.

>>14828960
>>14828968
That's overblown. Don't worry about it.

They're cheap as fuck, though. Unless you're trying to buy a Cosworth (lel good luck), they're just an average 70s compact car. They're not boomer fetish fuel like the Camaro.

Here's one in my area.

maybe, but i remember either watching a video or reading about how a few owners bought them new in the 70's and had them snap in half when driving over a railroad or something rough. there's always the ford maverick though as a more reliable/less shitty alternative

MONZA SPYDER FOLKS

I'm gonna buy one and put a 350 in it

It's a Vega. They started as little 4 cylinder shitboxes but a lot of people put V8s in them since they're light and go racing. That's a good find to see one in the wild. They're not too expensive if you find a stick model but they're boomer taxed on swapped ones. Oh and Cosworth made a limited amount of then with mechanically injected 4 bangers

>>14829053
Monza is GOAT. I've been trying to find a 305 4 barrel 4 speed since the roadkill Monza episode

>>14829084
What's a non shit, stock, smaller muscle car like this? Someone said a Monza is good. Someone else said the Ford Maverick.
Any others?
These 70's cars look bad ass.

>>14829096
Monza
Maverick
Vega
Pinto (kinda)
Gremlin X
AMC Eagle sx4 (kinda)
4th generation nova (but that might be a little big for what you're looking for)
Chevy Citation (kinda)
Chevy chevette (if you swap it)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

>>14828907
Definitely a Vega. My neighbor had one.

>>14828907
Gorgeous cars. Horrible engines.

>>14828907

Fuck, thats shit hot. All the muscle car styling in something thats actually a reasonable size. Gimme one of those with a turbo 6. What sorta cash are they worth americunts?

It's a V8. It is MEANT TO BE a V8. Putting a turbo V6 in a muscle car is like punching a hole in the Mona Lisa by trying to insert your penis into her mouth.

>>14829807
About 5 grand and up depending on whats done to it

The last one is a Cosworth Vega. DOHC and mechanical injection in a 1970s American shitbox

>>14829877
They came with 4 cylinders from the factory so they were never muscle cars to begin with, V8 swaps were just a common mod. Personally, I think a turbo 4.3 v6 alá rotsun would be dank

Well I guess Grand Nationals and GNXs aren't muscle cars anymore, then.

>>14829877

Fuck an 8 in something that size. Lightweight turbo 4 or 6 and beef up the suspension to make it corner

What about a Rover V8?

Or since it's a GM product, the actual Buick 215?

Interesting. Ive wanted a big american project for a long time but i just cant justify spending 10-20k just for a rolling shell for something like a camaro or challenger. <10k shipped for a complete car aint bad.

>>14829877
5/10

>>14829919
DO NOT BUY A COSWORTH AND SWAP A V8 IN IT. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE IF ALL THAT IS HOLY

>>14829887

That cossy is fuckin clean, goddamn.

>>14829929

Id never buy something rare or special and ruin it. Especially if engine swaps are on the agenda.

>>14828958
I owned one of these back in the day... got hit by a bulldozer (long story) which cut the front of the car off just ahead of the firewall.... any other car would have been pushed a few feet but remained in one piece. Not sorry to see that car go.

Aluminum engine
Made by Americans
In the 1970s

I got a vega Cosworth with out the motor for $600. It's kinda rough. I did s10 front brakes and a rear disc conversation, this also gave me 5 lug hubs. Factory rear end is a 3.73 posi. And it's getting a carbed and cammed Chevy 4.3, about 300hp and bolted up to the factory 4speed.

>tfw the local chevy dealership has one that has never been sold, and less than 5000 miles on the odometer

>>14831850

Probably still rusted out and has warped heads.

A buddy of mine had one that was about 10 years old when we were in high school. POS. Even he called it a POS.
