The Vega was known as "the only car to rust in the showroom". I agree, it was rushed into production and destruction. It could of been a good car with a lot more testing. They were trying to catch up to the pinto but lost. The pinto wasn't too bad depending on the year and engine choice. The Ford Escort that replaced the Pinto was MUCH worse. Oil burning POS. They obviously got better as they got newer. Friends of my parents bought a brand new 1981 Escort automatic. All 4 jumped in for a trip to Vegas. It overheated on the Baker grade. There are 2 known Cosworth Vega's in this area but I believe those are the only ones left. Still a lot of Pinto's around here.
