Eh, it maybe, barely squeaks by with a clean title. (Or it was uninsured?) But you'd need to have a look underneath first, see if the chassis where it connects to the suspension is hosed or not. I'm guessing it jumped a curb. Hood, fender, bumper, and probably at least one headlight, can that be done for 5 grand? VideoTapir fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Nov 1, 2013 |

That car is actually pretty screwed. If you look at the ad, the shot of the engine isn't quite where it should be, and most of that front end parts are just not available. You'd be sinking as much into those parts as you would the whole car.

I've been seeing it all over CL the past couple of years, typically to describe pre-1980 cars with rust all over them, but never something like this. http://collegestation.craigslist.org/cto/4108837174.html

Put a Rover V8 in it and absolutely piss off the Cosworth aficionados. Then point out that at least it's an ALUMINUM V8. Nah, the Cosworth Vega was a good-locking little car. It's only major failing (over anything else of the era, at least) was a lack of forethought on the engine, partially due to bean counting. I mean, really: a cast-iron head on an aluminum block, with no cylinder liners, and marginal cooling system? Fuel-injected, though!

Seems like every person out there with a rusting heap in their front yard has found the word from some TV show and has decided that is how they can finally sell it, now that they think there's a market. The Capri is weird since it's just a really ugly attempt at a bad car.

After owning a 2003 9-3, the first thing that jumped out to me was the lost only key. That's a $1000-1500 problem by itself if you can even find the parts any more. That plus the other issues people have mentioned make it a car that is essentially worthless as anything more than parts. eddyc49 fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Nov 3, 2013 |

Especially with it being an AZ car. New rubber everywhere, new dash, new interior plastics, etc. There are certain downsides about desert cars.

Is it really in good enough shape to warrant a restore and care, or is it a hidden basket case that he didn't identify until he started taking it apart? A Vega was my Dad's first car and I would love to restore one, but my funds and garage are probably soon being filled by a Lemons project unless he'll let this thing go for cheap.
