Car originates from Sunderland Chevrolet in Pa. (same dealer as my Millionth Vega) The car was owned by several members of the Cosworth Vega Owners Association over the years including our own hammerdown7 - Dick Baumhauer from '96-'01. It was sold on Ebay in 2003 with 1,500 miles by its CVOA owner in Texas. When it surfaced seven years later on Ebay with 1,592 miles I contacted its owner in Michigan. I had another chance to finally replace my missed Cosworth with this time capsule. I couldn't pass it up a second time.

The car was invited to participate at the Hemmings New England Concours,D 'Elegance in Saratoga Springs NY, Sept. 30, 2012. (photos 7, 8)
