Title: Cosworth Vega
Post by: lakeholme on January 30, 2015, 08:07:59 PM

Thought I'd post THIS (http://www.streetsideclassics.com/showcar.php/cha/2877/1975-Chevrolet-Vega-Cosworth) for JohnZ, rsr, and others.
Just listed... no price yet, not much detail...
Anyway Vega lovers enjoy!

And if you haven't already, look at JohnZ's replies 37 & 41 HERE (http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=11542.msg93127#msg93127)... very interesting!  ;D

I wouldn't mind having this one, if my yard didn't already look like a used car lot.

That's an interesting car - beautifully restored, with a subtle addition of aftermarket A/C (note Sanden compressor); A/C was never available on the Cosworth-Vega. It will probably be priced well beyond reality, as the Cosworths appeal to a pretty narrow niche market.  :-\

I suppose $15,995 is an acceptable price?
Are the yellow plug wires standard or aftermarket?

Aftermarket. OEM wires were black or silver, depending on when the car was built.

Thanks, John. Somehow I just couldn't see how the yellow wires fit in Chevy's scheme.
