My cousin had a Vega when she was in college. She also had problems with it using too much oil and GM decided to give out free Vega engines if you reported it before 36K miles. My uncle drove it to the dealership with about 10 miles left on the warranty and she got a new engine. People comment about resleeving the block and having a good engine. There used to be numerous companies that advertised in the back of magazines that would do that service fairly cheap. Afterwards, you had a decent engine...until the body rusted away. There were also dozens of companies that manufactured the V8 small block conversion kit. Yes, it was fast. But you still had a car that had inadequate braking and the front end that couldn't handle it. But you could spin the rear tires, couldn't you? Until you tore out the rear end. Back in 1975, I actually wanted a Chevy Monza real bad. It looked aerodynamic, available with the cool spider on the hood, and was available with the small block. (You just didn't have room to work on it) Getting back on the original topic, yes it was the car of the year. At least until you drove it.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
