Want an affordable good looking classic car project? Put all the laws on your side! Emissions, physics, everything. This classic pre-emissions all steel Chevrolet Vega, with all the glass in it only weights 1200 lbs. Complete is was under 2200. With a wheelbase equal to a classic corvette, a body size and weight even smaller, this is the ultimate restomod starter package, or a good roller to complete a stock restoration as well. Weighing nearly 1000 lbs less than a corvette, the same motor will make this car radically faster than it would in a camaro or corvette, which you see every day. With the right touch, this car will look and perform better than any camaro or corvette, see restomod version photos below for ideas:
This car has all the chrome bumpers and panels, glass, and frames, and is a good roller right now, with the steering, suspension, differential and brakes. Includes all interior body panels, dash,etc. as well. True West Texas car its whole life and originally a very clean, dry-climate car before sitting the last few years.
