According to an October, 2014 membership application, this car belongs to Roger Rome of East Granby,
CT. The VIN is 1V77O6U198317. He writes: I have an intermittent no start issue when warm. Haven't
done much just learning the system so for. Key on I hear fuel pump and air solonoid. Turns but no start. I
smell fuel for sure. When it does start the timing is at 12 degrees with the line off at the evap can. I don't
know the rpm as the gauge isn't working. I'm hoping it's an easy fix. I have suspicions about the motor
it sounds kinda noisy. Seem to have power in certain bands but bogs upon acceleration.

According to a Yahoo post in April of 2004, “I am passing this info along just in case the club doesn't
know where this car is located. It came from a member of V8Monza.com”. “Thought I would post this
here, I don't go over to the Cosworth page and I’m not on my ‘puter to do the bookmark thing either,
so........besides I know at least 1 of the Cosworth guys post here...but Cosworth 2837 is currently residing
on the east side of Cincinnati Ohio, (Eastgate area) and it has a sweet looking body/under
carriage.....mark” JD

For sale in our Dallas showroom is this Immaculate 1976 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega. This Cosworth is #2843 of 3,508 manufactured between 1975 and 1976. The mirror black exterior finish is striking with the rare black/white sport cloth interior, cast aluminum wheels, full instrumentation, engine turned gold dash panel, front/rear anti-roll bars along with the Cosworth overhead twin cam engine with Bendix Electronic fuel injection sporting the stainless-steel header. Other options include the 5-speed gear box, 4.10 positraction rear axle, AM/FM 8 track player and rear speaker. Designed to be a racecar for the street, power steering and power brakes are not present to save weight, but clocking in at under 2,800lbs, you would never think to need them. Adding to the weight savings is the aluminum engine tricked out with all the goodies like fuel injection, forged aluminum pistons, and a forged steel crankshaft and rods. These are extremely overbuilt engines built for power and longevity.

Cosworth #2843 has undergone an extensive body off restoration with no expense spared. Show board and large binder of receipts/documentation will be included in the sale. The Cosworth has been featured in magazines and has multiple show wins to include best of show at the National Cosworth Vega Owners Association’s (CVOA) annual concours. This, #2843, is a collector’s dream; low enough mileage to surely increase in value, but not so low that you would feel wasteful enjoying it on the road. Many magazines touted the Cosworth as the best in its class for ’75 and ’76 by beating the likes of Alfa, BMW and Saab.

This Cosworth Vega has a racing heritage, plenty of positive magazine articles, outstanding body off restoration and low mileage.

Owned by Barry Connolly of CA as of October of 2013. He wrote: I bought a nice 76' CV (#2843). Black,
of course, and it has the cloth seats I've been dying for.... It's in great shape (29k miles) having
undergone a multi‐year nut and bolt restoration. It came with a TON of spare parts. So I trailered it to
CA from WI averaging 8mpg the whole way, OUCH!! I've yet to enter it into the CVOA Registry but will
do so shortly. It may already be in there and I'll just need to update the owner info.... My going in
intention is to improve it in some areas and make it my show car and keep #2881 as a nice driver.
