Remember the Cosworth Vega? That was an interesting car. I had one, but my problem was the word Cosworth was not in front of the word Vega.:7:

Yep, but where would all of the mini-stocks come from, if they hadn't built them, my goodness, and some of those were some real bad hombres to, the Gremlin, with a humongus motor, the later, 76 up Vega, with the V8 right outa Detroit, the Pinto, altho very few were produced, with a 289, the Mustang II, and before them, the Falcon V8, lotta small car history from that era. But, we sold all our good steel to the high bidder, and exported it for money, not pride, now we're payin. Bob

Don Smith's car collection seems like such a waste to buy a car brand new to let it sit and never drive it again (he has a 2002 Camaro SS with paper plates).

Trust me, You'll apreciate seeing that a lot more in 20-30 years than you do now. Seen a Cosworth Vega on the road in 20 years? Heck a 64-72 Mustang is rare on the street or even at car shows unless its a mustang rally and most of them were trailered in.

If Id of known my 69 GTO could get 40 grand. I woudn't have beat it to death and blown it up at 145mph then sold it to another who put a Firebird motor in it and beat it some more.
