71 to 73 Chevy Vega hatchback, major mods!


This is what happens when you stuff a V8 into a Vega engine bay! I owned 2 Vegas, and my aunt owned one. So I'm familiar with the car before modification. This shows what is possible!

Thanks for the identification tips! Glad you're still an owner! I owned 2 74's, a hatchback and a Kammback wagon. Both served well, but the rust gremlins were very active on the hatchback! Thanks for the information! :) Jack

I bought a '72 Vega in '92, all original with 69,000 mi. It has amber front turn signals. '71's don't have badge on front valance, but it could have been removed. Mine has "vega 2300 chevrolet on it". BTW, I still have same car, only a lot different now. Hope this helps.

71 should have amber front blinkers 72 they are clear and 73 has bumpers stick out like 3 inches. that should be a 71

You're right on that, Kevin! I just like to see these cars put so far out of character from their original intent! It shows what can be done! Thanks for the comment! :) Jack
