I was a member of the Cosworth Club then and there was a recipe for Octane Boost. Would you guys still have it? I still have some of the ingredients but not the quantities. Thanks. Brett Lowes

1976 Cosworth Vega twin cam. One owner. Been sitting for 20+ years. Appears to be complete, motor partly disassembled.
#2747
Has some pretty nasty rust in the hood and rear hatch. A little in the door bottoms. Haven’t pulled the carpet to check floors. Last registered in Tennessee 1983. One owner. He found the title. Needs total restoration. But it’s a fairly rare little Vega. Looking for a good home. $1300 OBO

Parted out by Chris Wheaton. Barry Connally has the dash plaque

Gillerman, Richmond, OH. #3510. In June of 2012 he wrote: #2750 has minor rust in the rear suspension but great floors, spare tire well and front frame. Oddly it has the worst doors of any car ever.

I lucked into another Cos literally 15 minutes from my house. Its 2750 and has been parked since '86. Burgundy/white interior, red carpets and dash,110k miles, 5 speed, swing outs, and a bunch of spare parts. It's got nice floors and very little rust underneath, but the doors and fenders are shot.

According to an email from Chris Wheaton in February of 2014, he received a Yahoo Groups inquiry:
"Hi, my name is Matt and I love the Cosworth Vega. Both of my parents are owners, #804 and #1609 and
I just recently picked up what remains of #2751. Would love to be a part of your group. This
membership request requires your approval because the cosworthvegas group is restricted, which
means you must approve each new member."

According to a January 2014 post by Matt Clevenstine, I'm looking to rebuild the engine outta #2751
(RIP). Can anyone suggest some good literature and or websites? Would like to get close to 200hp.

Unknown date. This car was located in a junk yard about 90 miles from Bakersfield, CA. The guy who looked at it had
this to say:
I took a real good look at the car today. The unit has just too many small dents and dings all over (even
in the roof) and is too deteriorated overall to make it worth restoring for me; my friend exaggerated a
little. This car is however a parts hound's goldmine. It's 98% complete and 100% stock. All body parts
are present and all engine parts are accounted for down to the original air cleaner with the AC 505C
sticker and the exhaust converter. When I get a chance to return, I'll clean out the engine bay. I climbed
all over this car, the only things I could find missing were the bezel with production number plate,
steering wheel, camshaft cover, and muffler. There's a spare transmission attached to a bell‐housing
lying inside the rear hatch. I took some pictures with my camera phone; if you're interested, call my cell
phone (661‐316‐2239) and will return the photos; they came out pretty good. I would e‐mail them to
you but I don't have camera software in my computer at this time. I live in Bakersfield, CA.
Here's the info you requested:
Year: 1976
VIN: 17706U193366
Four speed transmission
White tag on fuel injection plenum: #3004
1 option: Pop‐out rear windows
98,245.00 miles
Black on black vinyl

Owned by John Procyk in Round Rock Texas. Good shape. Black black vinyl

March, 2004. I have a lot of pictures of 2754 in a zip file that I didn't see listed in the Photo Registry. I bought and
sold this car about 2 years ago. I bought it out of Michigan, and sold it to a gentleman in Ohio, which is where I
believe it still resides. It is orange/buckskin, and at the time had just over 20,000 miles on it. I have all of the info on
the car at home from the eBay listing if needed. I bought it for $6,600 and sold it sight unseen about 2 weeks later
for $7,700. I hope the pictures come through OK. I do know it was a radio delete, 4-speed, fixed quarter windows
and no rear defogger. All original fuel injection and even the original tires. Thanks, Mike Bormann

There is a gentleman in Ohio by the name of George Holt that has car #2754. It is claimed to be a radio
delete model Cosworth. I believe he has the build sheet as well. If I remember correctly, the dash on his
didn't even have holes cut out in it for a radio. Mike

The number on the orange 76 is 2757, he emailed me last night. He said it showed 2857 miles and didn't believe it had rolled over due to the overall condition of the car and the the general engine condition. This in your registry? if so, what can you tell me? It is covered with snow right now, and pics I hope to have next week. I looked through the gallery and it was not listed there. Maybe I "discovered" a lost one.......
I am up for the challenge of putting it together if it is solid. I hope you are up for the mechanical end of getting this dude running again if I can get her square. Love the color. Next to blue, this thing is an awesome color. It comes with a 76 GT wagon for parts, and 2500 is the asking price for both which I don't think is bad although there will be another 1000 or better in transportation costs.

According to Yahoo! Message #459, this car seems to have been parted out—he has the driver’s sun visor! kenldixon@yahoo.com.... A number of years ago I owned #2758. I recently noticed that I still have the driver sun visor with
starting instructions and a couple of belts (timing?) in the original GM boxes. The belt numbers are 334051and 352133 (one each). If anyone has interest I would let them go reasonably. Email me at kenldixon@...
