1973 VEGA

Beautiful Vega my favorite chevy light you can make em strong....listen to the cam mellow but when you want it whack the loud pedal

Beautiful car ...

A loud sleeper! Awesome!

I had one of those Pete Jackson gear drives in my V8 S-10

Old video, but... killer little car! I might make a couple "small" changes to fit my personal preference, but its spot on!

Sub frame connected, electric fan, excellent!

I'm 4 years late, but I just gotta say, that;s one of the best I've seen! Well thought out, simple yet effective! Too bad there wasn't a factory option like that, even though Hot Rod tested a prototype Vega fitted with an all-aluminum V8, the last of several 283 cu in. (4.6 L) units used in the CERV I research and development vehicle. Bored out to 302 cu in (4.9 L), it had high-compression pistons, a solid lifter camshaft, cast-iron four-barrel intake manifold, and a Quadrajet carburetor. With stock Turbo Hydramatic, stock Vega rear end and street tires, the car ran a sub-14-second quarter mile.

Pete Jackson Gear Drive ftw

Other than the blue exhaust smoke and the even by 70's standards garish green color, I'm sure it's a fine automobile. Bravo!

You're killing me with that car. I've wanted one ever since I was a teenager in the mid 70's. Yours is perfect, even down to the gear drive whine! Thanks for posting.

It’s nice that you can still see all the factory spot welds without rust being there nice job on the restoration You definitely took some liberties made it a lot nicer than it ever was originally I love the straight cut gears

At first I thought it had an underhood supercharger, then I realized you had a noisy timing set. I love those and had one in my 72 Pro Street Vega.

Beautiful car, just beautiful. Look better in my garage!

Superb. Nice 1

Great Example of a SBC Vega,,,, the haters would shit themselves anyway,,

Thats as sweet and clean of a job as Ive seen. Sounds fine too.

Put A timing chain in & it will have more power! & some rings while your at it.

Mercy, pop the hood already!

I can only see one thing wrong, its not mine. Great car, it truly is.
