I have a Lime green '73 Vega GT Kammback that everyone USED to make a lot of fun of....and NOW it gets a whole lot of quirky smiles. First question from those who know what it is? Of course.....How I have kept that motor, and kept on top of congenital rust problems. I have an "under dash" Pioneer "SuperTuner" cassette deck with the big round dial to one side....and still run the "Sparkomatic" speakers in the doors and back. I've even managed to keep some old STYX and CW. Mc Calls ("Convoy" and other "trucker and CB radio" songs) cassettes in good running order and play them sometimes just for fun. I was GOING to find the VERY rare seat bracket for my Sony 303 micro TV for this car...but someone would almost certainly break into it when seeing that. Also...that TV was a "luxury" item for Mercedes Benz...so would be strange in a Chevy Vega :P
I got that car for like $800 back in 1986...because I wanted something weird and familiar to keep running. I am a child of 1980's mechanic classes.
What used to be snickers and ribbing...is now praise and curiosity. That old Vega gets MUCH more attention than the '68 Buick GS400 Stage1 convertible....or the '66 Toronado.
Even my boring little quirky sets will be interesting in 20 years or so....as long as there is still a way to transmit over channel 13 with an inhouse transmitter to the little aerials.
