TELL ME MORE. Like very much!

Not much on it. All I got was Dan Furey 1974 Chevy Vega. The Chevrolet Vega was a low cost machine, highly modified by Cafe Cars of Columbus, Ohio.

Engine A highly modified 331ci small block engine was nestled in a tubular spaceframe. It also includied parts from TRW, Weaver Bros, Edelbrock, Crane, King Racing Engines and Holley. Cafe Cars built the tubular headers, while four 48mm downdraft Weber carburetors on a McKay manifold make up for the induction system. The rpm level was being watched out via a Jones mechanical tachometer, and the remainder were Stewart-Warner built.

I've seen this one in person. A functional 14 carat gold train with a diamond headlight and a car full of jewels.

The unibody cracked in half after running off the road. I tried to get it welded, but it was too rusty for the shop to even try to mess with.

This was in 1989 or so, and the car was a 1980 model.

The thing in the picture is a tractor part. I just liked how it looked.

That's actually a pretty cool Pacer, built by a Teenage Girl and her dad for one of the Hot Rod Power Tours. Has a Jeep 4.0L with a 700R4 (I think). They recorded that they got 26 mpg combined.
