I'm 56 years old and have many "Vega experiences". I'll tell you what. That is the nicest looking Vega I've EVER seen, bar none. Please, make another video of this car "doing it's stuff". Just walking around the car, and seeing how incredibly straight the body panels are just tells this viewer that a lot of care was taken in the restoration of this fine Vega. Cheers !!!

Beautiful! Love this car. In the mid '80s I built a V-6 Vega and it was so sweet! It ran perfect. I got the engine out of a Buick Skyhawk and added a Holley Carb and manifold. It all fit very nicely with no modifications. This car makes me want my old V-6 Vega again... maybe I'll do a V-8 this time?

Really cool to see a vega in such good shape. My 72 was also put away since the mid 70s, and it's got baldwin motion inspired metal flake stripes and four lug cragers, hopped up IECO 140.. 74 k miles . I thought that was low, yours has 20 k miles on it, and it looks new. Nice nice car, love the lt1, super straight car

I like the vega no matter what people say about the Chevy vega it's a compact Muscle car to me even Baldwin Motion and Yenko Chevrolet dealers can make a Factory Street rod out of anything

Grew up in a vega. Mom had a 70 vega GT i believe. Had it till 77 when she traded for the 76 Monty Carlo with 1200 miles on it. Vegas are a fun car but i will take the ride quality of the Monty Carlos any day.
