A friend of mine owns this Vega now. He's had it for at least 10 years. Looks exactly the same as pictured.
That first Chevelle leaving the starting line doesn't look very 70s like either. Nothing left the line level in the 70s. The Chevelle's and 99% of the other 70s machines I remember leaving the starting line looked more like the on the in the second picture.
I musta lived in a different '70s. My buddy's '72 NA 355 non tubbed Chevelle definitely left wheels up to the tune of 11.teens and better.. Granted, it was more strip oriented, but streetable none the less.
Disclaimer: I realize that these photos are not old, I’m SORRY, but at least they’re the right style.
