I searched for a stock Vega Panel Express for many years. I found the first year model in a print classified ad in 2003. The previous owner stored the car indoors since the 70s; he had refinished the car in its original color shortly before he had to sell (his collection) due to health reasons. It's a southern car, from Alabama. 50k miles (4-'13)
