Hi,
And it's becoming pretty famous too because everyone keeps talking about it.

3rd time I've seen it surface on here in the last year or so. Twice this month. I wonder if the builder is as embarrassed as I am imagining? I assume the original theme was sort of an IMSA thing, but something went horribly wrong.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....

Hey, now you are embarrassing me, the guy lives about 35 miles from me, I was thinking about going to look at it. Last year he posted it saying it had a crate engine and had it at $700. He must have done more customizing if he now wants $1500 :lol: I was thinking about it for parts, engine, trans, gt dash, windshield, wheels and some other crap. If I got it cheap enough I would part it out. But I would need to buy a big tarp to cover it for the tow home, I wouldn't want it to get scratched or anything ( like someone seeing me with it )

If this was a Roth original, the auto enthusiast world would be falling over themselves praising it. It does look rather Roth - esque. Personally, I like it, and I'm guessing folks would bash it less if it were a BBC with a four speed Muncie, and tubbed mickies.

The nay-sayers remind me of Hollywood fashion gurus: normal is boring, and fresh and unusual is hip, but only if it is THEIR idea of fresh and original.

Nope,it could have a big block chevy with a 12:71 and a Jerico 6 speed and I'd still hate it. Just don't like the body lines at all. Looks like a cross between a snow plow and a Brat. Each to their own though eh.

Ron Really NO NO NO!!!!! Not even if it was a "Style" For 15 minutes in the late eighties! I found a kit with this front end treatment while surfing the web (eBay listing for a Monza kit with the "by this seller" listings. If you have a "Sensitive tummy" from too much Chocolate Easter Bunnies of course you should probably LOOK AWAY. Harry
