For sale in our Chicago showroom is this survivor 1975 Chevrolet
Vega Cosworth. With 3,508 made total, and only 2,061 made in '75,
these are few and far between. All '75 models were covered in the
same black lacquer paint with gold accents. They also received the
"race-inspired" 2.0L DOHC inline 4 cylinder engine connected to a
responsive 4-speed manual transmission and a steep 3.73 gear ratio
making for a sporty feel. As this was designed to be a racecar for
the street, power steering and power brakes are not present to save
weight, but clocking in at under 2,800lbs, you would never think to
need them. Adding to the weight savings is the all aluminum engine
tricked out with all the goodies like fuel injection, forged
aluminum pistons, and a forged steel crankshaft and rods. These are
extremely overbuilt engines. This lovely example has traveled just
past 44,000 miles, and it's hard to imagine even that much. The
paint still shines with great vibrancy, the interior shows no
fading, and the engine is as eager as ever to fire up and spin all
the way to its 6500rpm redline. The shifter is very easy to locate
gears with, and all the gauges are clean and in plain sight. This,
#1592, is a collectors dream; low enough mileage to surely increase
in value, but not so low that you would feel wasteful enjoying it
on the road. Many magazines touted the Cosworth as the best in its
class for '75 and '76 by beating the likes of Alfa, BMW and Saab.
The Vega Cosworth has a racing pedigree, plenty of positive
magazine articles, and low mileage. This is what collector cars are
made of! Options include: Aluminum Wheels, AM Radio, Seat Belts,
Radial Tires, and a Vinyl Interior. For more information on this
