Maybe it’s not that great of a deal. Unfortunately down here in the south we have to deal with rust
from the humidity, and to find a CV or any Vega for that matter on a car lot or privately is rare. Most of
the small cars of that era were trashed in short track races! Anyway at least its not hiding from those
who may be interested any more.

I bet it needs a lot more than a "tune‐up". Caveat Emptor! I think those interested in CVs should shop
amongst owners. When a car is 25 years old, its ownership history is important. You can usually
determine a lot about the car from talking to past owners. There are usually at least a dozen or two CVs
listed for sale in CV magazine. A CV on a used car lot is a recipe for disaster IMO. "Twenty‐four hundred
and it needs a tune‐up." Yeah, right! I'm sure his diagnosis of the "fuel injection acting up" comes from
years of CV experience. Duke

Yahoo post. I found a 1976 Cosworth Vega for sale today. I believe it was # 3022. 4‐speed with aftermarket air
conditioning (not working) Body is in excellent shape with an indicated 62,xxx miles. Only rust I saw was
the battery tray and a few bubbles on passenger door. Interior is full of plastic rot and seats need
recovered. Doors do not sag when opened. I did not crawl under the car or drive it. It runs but needs a
tune‐up as the Fuel Injection is acting up according to the dealer. It’s a muddy red/burgundy color.

After posting #3024 on E-bay and having some time to groom her I've fallen madly in love with her again. In the
last 8 days she got a new muffler, horn fixed, and the clock has been running for 3 days now. I do feel I made a big
mistake with the Hutton rebuild putting carbs on, and I do not have any of the FI to put it back in, as I traded with
Hutton to lower costs...duh. Anyway, it drives great. Let's be real about this too, you guys are not going to meet the
reserve after what the Blue CV sold for. I want to say Thanks to those who sent e-mails that convinced me to keep
her. Now if I can just find some money for the paint job and stripe kit. Vega25us

The beautiful orange Cosworth is still for Sale. I am a motivated seller and I have conceded to the fact
that I will take a major loss on it. I must make room in my new house. You remember the one I'm talking
about. It was on e‐Bay a few months ago: the Hutton rebuild with A/C, new black interior. I will send
pictures and fax the spec sheet on the rebuild. Call or e‐mail. jbschandevel@m... or 828‐697‐8231
