It should be. I thought I saw the car on ebay yesterday, (and thought it was overpriced), but thought it was like $2,000.00 or something.

Millionth Vega

Robert Spinello (vegabob) contributed:
In May 1973, Chevrolet produced the one millionth Vega. A million buiilt in three years! Chevrolet chose a GT Hatchback coupe featuring a bright orange exterior with white sport stripes, a neutral custom vinyl interior featuring exclusive vinyl door panels, orange accent color carpeting, power steering and Millionth Vega door handle accents.
Chevrolet produced a special limited edition Millonth Vega replicating the milestone car. 6500 were built at the rate of 10 cars per hour from May through July 1973.(10% of total production for 3 months)

Millionth Vega - ZM5 option $497.00 included:

GT Package
Power Steering
Bright Orange Exterior (code 86)
White Sport Stripes
Light Neutral Custom Vinyl Interior w/exclusive Vinyl Door Panels
Accent-Color Carpeting - Orange
Millionth Vega Door Handle Accents

Hot Rod magazine, in December 1973 said: "...They'll probably sell a million of 'em."

Notes: Regular production options were available not in conflict with the ZM5 package - (any transmission, a/c, etc.)
Bright Orange Exterior color was offered as a regular production Vega color (code 69) in 1974 (only).
Vinyl Door Panels became part of the Custom Interior option from 1974 on.

By 1973, total Vega production was up to over 100 cars per hour at the Lordstown, Ohio Assembly Plant - it was by far, the fastest auto production rate in the world. Still, a GM of Canada plant was also utilised to keep up with the demand in 1973-74.


I've been wanting one for years... love the color scheme. Here's some pics of them from Google Images:
