Produced from the 1971 to 1977 model year, the Vega is a mixed bag of opinions depending on who you ask about it. On the one hand, the economy car has tarnished the Golden Bowtie’s reputation with countless issues such as rust. But on the upside, the H-body platform is perfectly suited for restomodding. 31 photos
As far as the second opinion is concerned, would you look at this bad boy? Arguably the nicest Vega on sale today, the “Jega” offered by Cruisin’ Classics features a pro-touring makeover topped by a 454 LSX engine.
The 7.4-liter V8 came out of a crate, and since then, it has been driven only 3,732 miles (6,006 kilometers), according to the online listing. LS2-style injectors, an LSXR intake manifold and 102-millimeter throttle body, Holley Dominator engine management, billet fuel rails, MSD coil packs, as well as a custom aluminum radiator are a few of the underhood highlights.
