I think you are right about that.He might have built one to race but I don't think so.A lot of stuff was happing back then.I remember going to Berger Chevy for parts,Berger was where I bought my 70 Z from.It was allways busy back then.

There is a reason that combination was not offered! The kindest thing I can say is that it doesn't look nearly as bad as it sounds, "Green with orange interior" sounds absolutely horrible!! But because the orange is a dark burnt orange, and the green is also dark, it's not jarring, but it's not what I would want.
PRNDL you hit the nail on the head. that car does nothing for me. color combo and wheels are just awful looking. now if you pue ralleys on it gave it a black int. with a black top and a hard top to go with it. i think it woul bring $$$$$$ just my .02c

That car is in sweet shape.....if I had it ,it would stay that way.
Why??? because its to ugly to drive
I had a 76 burnt orange vista wagon....I would rather be seen in it.
Thank goodness GM did not sell more.....some colors should not be put together

You could get a COPO Vega if you wanted. Just try to figure out why you would want one.
