Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1976 Chevrolet Vega.

Typically these Vegas came with a 122 CID inline 4 cylinder engine, however the owner decided to swap that for a 4.3 liter Gen 2 roller V6. To go with the much higher added muscle that was put under the hood, the transmission was swapped out for Saganaw 4-speed manual transmission, allowing you to bang through the gears with force. Other parts that were added or replaced when both the transmission and engine were being replaced are; radiator, front shocks, brake lines, water pump, clutch, oil cooler, front coil springs, pistons, and bearings. The car is is sporting a black paint exterior which is parried with a black vinyl interior. When looking at the car, it still has its original dash, which consist of no cracks but the woodgrain finish is faded. the Vega cosmetics have remained the same essentially since coming off the lot, however the mechanics of the car have been modified quite extensively and well kept up with, making it a great car for anyone entering into the classic car world. So come snag up this 1976 Chevrolet Vega and and take home one of the few Vegas that are still around.
