Chevrolet Vega
What happens when you build a bite-sized Camaro? You get the Vega. At least, that’s what it seems like GM was attempting with the Vega’s design. The Vega was every bit a bite-sized Camaro in every aspect but quality and performance. The car is often referred to as one of the worst Chevys ever built, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When it comes to potential the car has a whole lot of it, especially for hot rod builders (via Auto Blog).
The Vega was available in several different trim packages at the time and was positioned as a value-oriented car. The most common modification with the Vega these days is upgrading to a V8 power plant. When you first take a look at the car you can’t help but notice the Camaro styling cues. The car is every bit a 1970s GM creation and it was one of the most underrated cars from Chevrolet during that decade.
