  Yeah, I saw *six* Chevy Vega models this
weekend... at least, I think
 *one* of them was a Cosworth... 
 Wow.  the last time I saw a Cosworth Vega was in 1980.  It was a
 surprising car -- almost as surprising as the Vega I encountered
 that someone had wedged a 350 into -- a car which, thanks to the Vega's
 corrosion problems, folded in half one day when the owner put her foot
 in it coming off the line one afternoon... 
We had one of those conversions running around town... but the owner
claimed it was a 454... he *had* beaten on the fenderwells for some
reasons or another...
But it had to have Whilly bars.... *way* too much torque!
