    Great looking car, I have always liked the look of these (I am partial to small orange and yellow cars though) Supposedly less than 7000 miles, but the condition backs the claim up. If it was a manual trans car I would be tempted to look at it.
    It is showing quite a bit of rust in the front fenders for the asking price though. Makes me leary of the rest of the car having owned rusty Astre's & Vegas in the past.

    There were a bunch of "millionth Vegas" built, if I recall. I was working as a lot boy at a Chevy store in '76, and we got a hauler full of "millionth Vega"s. Orange like this one, plus black and yellow. The Vega sold well at the lot I worked at.

    Yes the Million Vega was a special edition, they were all orange with a white stripe and the delux interior. I glad this one is price out of my pocket book along with the automatic trans.

    Somehow my hobby became an addiction.:slap: But I don't golf, go to ball games, or race in demo derbies.
