Dan Juday Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Wagon. They had a marginally stronger body than the hatchback. V8 hatchback Vegas would twist to the point that the doors wouldn't close. But they didn't explode when rear-ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Those Vegas littered the road sides for years after breaking down. They had these aluminum 4 cylinder blocks that GM had some kind of factory "urination" treatment to strengthen the cylinders. They finally came out with the "Iron Duke" engine that had steel sleeves inserted in the aluminum cylinders but the public would not buy the throw away car anymore.Vegas, Pintos and the Jap imports killed the VW bug sales.

BLKMGK Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I miss my '72 Vega GT. Worn out 350, TH400, 9inch rear with 4.56:1 gears. No speedo but BOY did it scream! Yes, it twisted good - I pinched more than one friend's fingers when they would roll down the window and put their elbow out to hold onto the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 The best part about owning a Vega was that factory motor mounts existed to install either the small-block Chevy V8 or the Buick turbo-V6 and bigger Malibu front discs were almost a bolt-on. The Monza/Skyhawk is the same car with sleeker sheetmetal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Flash Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Lets not forget about the poor little Pinto. That was one of my first cars while still in high school. I remember one night after the prom making out in the back seat. Boy was that a tight fit. LOl you know the tiny little back seat and all.

fl327 Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 my mom used to drive a baby blue pinto when i was a little kid, people used to point at us and laugh. i remember when it used to park outside once they didnt drive it anymore, when people would come over and stuff they would ask if it was out car, and I would say no.
