cosworth Reply #3 – February 02, 2007, 07:30:19 AM I believe it’s a small score for you. don’t no what there actually worth though I think at first they were a hard sell like the turbo coupe but now I think there real rare and it might be worth some coin even a normal vega is worth money now.

cosworth Reply #9 – February 02, 2007, 05:15:22 PM did some research on it,, turns out the original design team sort of voted on an issue with the timing. One engineer was greatly against retarding it but since he was shot down, this resulted in some negative issues with the exhaust valves burining up.,,,the one i see here at home is black with the gold trim package and the cosworth dashboard nameplate with a production number off to the side. Honestly,, it reminds me of a kia sportage motor. Looks forgien to me for sure.hp/comp ratio started at 185/12.5:1later on reduced to 114/ 8.5:1I later found by clicking on the various links in the article, the stock HP was 210 and an engineering company for the nascar division had a supercharged version "kit" that would increase the power by and additional 60%,,WOWsux but they are rare. One interesting thing i found out was this car was about a few hundered dollars cheaper than the corvettes rolling off the assembly line at the time.,,now thats weird.Honestly, this looks like something that might roll off the assmebly line of todays cars,, ahead of its time i think.here is some reading on it with all the pics/goodies http://www.cosworthvega.com/cosworth_vega_history.html Quote Selected

Indeed. But would you find it even more interesting to know the original body was styled after a car that was ten years old at the time? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 1961 Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Lusso: Quote Selected
cosworth Reply #11 – February 02, 2007, 08:43:57 PM what shape is it in? 1-10? wont be worth nothin unless it looks showroom. if its perfect - 15-20K Quote Selected
cosworth Reply #12 – February 02, 2007, 10:19:24 PM shape is a 9,, gotta factor in normal wear and tear. no more wear and tear than whats on my coug. Quote Selected
cosworth Reply #13 – February 02, 2007, 11:17:55 PM well, normal wear and tear is sort open ended. i mean with a good wax you think it could go over barrett-jackson's auction block? b/c if so get that car in there! get some pics of this thing too. cracks or chips or dings in paint? rust? interior? ect. normal wear and tear would actually make it like 6-7.5. i mean its a 76, normal wear and tear would mean the car is screwed.
