Many thanks to Cruisin’ Dave Tychy for his rescue mission of the old mags and his generous donation of the car magazines to us.
They will be a invaluable link to the 60s and 70s car world and we will feature some unusual topics from them on a regular basis…
Here is a great example: a 1973 V-8 Vega that was muscled-up by a Rhode Island GM dealership and offered for sale as a new vehicle.
The little street demon had a 370 hp LT-1 350 under the hood and its buyers must have scared the hell out of the local race crowd. Nobody ever assumed that a Vega was a street rocket unless a talented hot-rodder made it that way.
Scuncio Chevrolet just made it as easy as writing a check in 1973 because $3995.00 would put you behind the wheel of a V-8 Vega fresh from the dealership.
Buy it and then produce some serious jaw-dropping on the street- it would have been worth every penny.
