Beautiful car I didn’t know this car existed but I am familiar with the Yenko brand !!!

Sorry can't handle the AI voice.

It had a two bolt 350 which could easily handle 500hp and a 8.5 inch rear end which could also handle 500hp. In a time when building 400hp was off the chart. All you had to do was soup it up if you weren't inpressed with the output

165HP is sad AF 8:2:1 CR is pathetic! 🤣🤣🤣

Pin me please

Back in the late 70's, I had the opportunity to view a MBP V8 Vega first hand. 350/370hp, 4 speed, 4.10 12 bolt, real bruiser. With the owner was his buddy and another MBP car, a Nova with a 427ciBB, 4 speed, 4.10 12 bolt ! Both cars left and when they got on it, they lifted the front end. It is a scene I can never forget. Love the good old performance days !

The Viper, last time i checked putting 2 V8 engines together gave you a V16, not a V10!

The narrator obviously has less knowledge of cars than the average American. His reading of the script is laughable clueless. I finally had to stop at his pronunciation of Duesenberg.

1:04 not sure this model name would be allowed nowadays 🤔

If you ever lose your key just turn the ears on a Vega and it will start without keys in car lmbo.

I had a '73 Vega I owned and when the aluminum block deteriorated, my friend talked me into putting a 350 c.i./350 turbo trans into it. This was back in 1975. Pretty stock 350 from a Corvette with headers, Mallory ignition parts, Holley 750. Probably put out about 375 h.p. I opened it up on a Detroit suburb freeway on a late monday nite and had it up to 160 m.p.h when I realized that even with front and rear spoilers, that the front end was floating, so I got out of it. It was front end heavy, so when I moved to L.A. and participated in street racing, I would have to put parking lot concrete tire stoppers in the back end so it would hook up. Can't imagine what a big block would do to the weight. Still, that was the funnest car I've ever owned! Except for the fat tires in the rear end "front runners" in the front, it looked bone stock. It was painted black with a white stripe, so we used to call it "The Skunk" 'cause it was so deceiving as to what it could do. Had it muffled pretty good, so it didn't give away the V-8 in it.

Sloppy AI narration

Lol a V12 with 200hp is not respectable by todays standards XD

Great video I would suggest Putting time stamps tho

Drop the AI and hire a human please.

America lives in lies Japan already had the Nissan GTR

I don’t hate many cars. Most of them are blandly functional at worst. That Contour, though. I hate those things with a burning passion. Close behind is the Mercury Sable of the same era. Taurus was strangely not as bad.

Any video is automatically better when narrated by a real person.

Them were the dayz hell yeah😊😊😊

small block... they show a big block.

Pacer,Pinto,Gremlin,Aztek are not ugly cars just unique,ahead if its time and radical Lincoln MarkIV is a design masterpiece never been ugly...Chevette is a global car design by GM

Horrible and unnecessary subtitles that look like they're for children with learning difficulties.

so they show an Australian Bathurst clip (18-30 seconds in) with an Australian Ford GTHO leading the charge. Great investigative work lol!

The 1958 is much more popular now than the 1959. 1958 was a recession year. Also, both years a customer could buy a strippo model Chevy.

I would rather have basic interior things like crank windows and old button radios. As long as I have a reliable engine and transmission. I dont care for touch screen heated cooled seats just the bare needs

I would want the 427 for sure!

L88

I had a Vaga we built it had a 732 with 4 stages of nitrous. It was a 4 second eighth mile car.

I had a 96 Mystique in college and it was hot garbage but I don’t remember it being cramped.

AI voice chip. Thumbs down.

I owned lots of real muscle cars before buying Vegas. If your Vega did not have a roll cage The windshield would crack and warp the body. I should know, had em. Error. a base one described were in carcraft for $ 2,900

I raced one of these in the 80s. It wasnt a dealer swap car but a v8 swap vega. It had a 350 in it. My car was a built 78 mustang 2 notch back with a 4 speed. The little vega gave me one of the best races of any other car i ran but he didnt have quite enough for the 302 i was running. I love the v8 vegas and v8 pinto, and built mustang 2s. Nobody expects to see the tail lights till its over with. Love those sleepers i made so much money off the term " those mustang 2s are slow"

As good as it looks in the video.... easy pass. I knew a few guys who built VEGAS back in the old days. Never seen one held together and be a reliable street racer. Overheating, cracked blocks, even the rear ends and body parts. Prove me wrong?

AI ruins these videos. Wonder if the Camoro had a 12 volt rearend...

But what about the SVT Contour?

I miss those days. I'm 51 years old and I was dreaming to have a 1970 charger RT with a hemi. She has to be black with a purple ghost flames. My brother had a Vega but it didn't have a V8 in it. I was raised around cars. But when I was 16 I was dreaming of the 70 charger RT.

I HAD a 1974 Vega with the little 4 banger, pull it out put a 283 small block into it with a sagano 4 speed transmission blow anything off the road Any Dodge of the road it was fast !..had a 1977 Monza spyder LT350 450hp Cops clocked me doing 156mph in it..back in the later 1980s now am an old man but I still have a Monza spyder am restoring back this one has V6 196 Buick THM 350 transmission

I would go with the small block twin turbo setup , light weight and more power than the big block .

I had a friend, Bill Green, that did his own 350 conversion. It was very professional, and looked like a factory install. It was a mean machine!

If you were cruising the streets from 1970 to 1985 the Corvette never came up. It was already known to be a dog of a car, overweight and under performing. The 69 351 Cleveland mustang or the 70 Challenger 440 were another story altogether.

My mom had a 73 vega wagon, would loved to have dropped something horny in it! A screaming 327 stroker and a lenco would be my recipe for fun.

we should not let this AI to have added a 2000s vehicle in a 70s video

I had both a contour and mystique and had no problems.

Wagon 454

By a “12 Volt Rear-end” (minute 4:15), Do they mean “The Battery Is in the Trunk”? 😊 I never heard of a 12 Volt Rear end.😮

Another crappy video. Don't waste your time.

Those are NOT factory produced, they are special ed stuff
