Sorry to be "that guy" but vega's didn't come out till 1971. Anyways love the look. I had a 71 wagon 4 spd as my high school car and a 74 hatch that I did a v-8 swap on for my auto tech senior project 10 yrs ago. Love'em, looking good. Hopefully I can do one in the future.

yeah, they started production in 1970 for the 71 model (first year). Cool car, used to see a bunch of them back in my day.

Years ago I came across a Vega with a Cosworth Engine.

1. What year did they come out?

2. How many were made?

3) Was the Cosworth in that car anything to write home about?

4) Were they truly a special car Historically?

Thanks,

Ty
