I had a 74 Vega. My first car. It had the 2300 motor with a holly 2 barrel carburetor, all factory. Aluminum mags with air stocks and micky Thompson 60s on the back. I turned 16 in 1978 and my dad bought it from a friend who bought it for his daughter brand new in 74 as a graduation present. It was loud with 1 long glass pack. I wanted to put a small block 327 in it but my dad was against it. I then wrecked it and caved the whole back panel in. I have around 100 Vegas from KZfaq that are all hot rods but this one and 1 other are the only 74s I seen. They must be rare and most I have are 71 to 73.

I really wanna build a pro street vega when I get the cash. Because there affordable to buy, there rwd and mainly because there very light. Stock they weigh 2100 and change to 2200 and change. And that's very you do weight reduction. I'd love to buy one and keep the body all steel except the hood,trunk lid and bumpers. Put after market lights, seats. Take out all unessary weight like rear seats sound deadening dash door incerts etc. Then put a small lightweight aluminium 4.8l ls small block. And throw on a single 78mm turbo. Either mini tub it or back half it, would be a very cheap build and extremely fast considering the power it makes.

Yeah, I grew up close to this place. I can go out there on any given day and know the majority of the guys and girls in the pit. They don't rope things off and as you've seen they'll let you get right up in it. There are the rivalries but it never gets nasty. It's more like going to a car show. Everyone is out in lawn chairs taking it easy between rounds.

ScottieDTV yes. They are. An i actually tried to put a nose from a 77 onto a 74 about 4 years ago an then saw the size difference between the 2 vega's. An finally a year ago i found a wrecked in the rear 74 chevy vega hatch back that had a good nose on it. So i bought it fer 200 bucks an took the nose off an put it on mine an began to build it. Now i have 4 running an driving vega's in a large collection of what i call unknown valuables. My oldest vega is a 72. All original. Has a factory inline 6 with a 3 speed. Has less than 29.000 miles originally. Never rebuilt. Never needed restoration. Only needed tires fluids an a cleaning an readjustment of the carberator. An i had a all original running driving 72 vega. My first vega. Got it fer 700 bucks. Baby blue with the white pleather interior. Has its original spare wheel an tire an tools an jack an a set of 2 spare hubcaps an 2 beauty rings that woulda been found fresh off the dealerships lot. I got her from the original owner who claimed the engine was seized. Within 4 hours of bein in my barn it was runnin. I have been offered 25.000 bucks at a car show for my car. Which shows 29.595 miles at the time. Which im told makes it valuable to collectors. Its like a lil time capsule. No ac. Has heat vent off the engine. An an am/fm radio. Which is original from grumby chevrolet in waco texas 1972. I gotta feelin its worth more than 25k. An eventually maybe more. What do you think ScottieD?
