Wow, a wheelstanding 4cyl Vega...George Williams...THANK YOU!
I remember seeing photos of his Vega, but not like that...
Granted the legendary "Grump", got me interested in drag racing with his '72 Winternationals winning Vega, but it was George's Vega that motivated me to buy one for me, and to race it too! The last I saw of my car (that I bought new in '76), the then owner yanked out my 140c.i. engine (and turbo 250 auto), and replaced it with a Pontiac 151c.i. engine & a 4spd! Yucky Yuck Yuck!!!
I would've bought it back (if it was left with it's original power train), and it would've been my stocker racer instead of my Cavalier, because it would've been easier to work on, and I wouldn't have had to deal with computers. If anyone (in or around Brighton, Co.) knows where the car is, please let me know...I'd like to have it back! The vin on it is IV77B6U220942. That should show how much I loved my Vega...again thanks in no small parts to George Williams, and "Da Grump"!!!
