Vehicle Description
In 1970, Chevrolet's John DeLorean set out to find a way to improve the performance of the Chevrolet Vega line. This search led them to the British company Cosworth Engineering who designed a special DOHC aluminum cylinder head for Chevrolet's inline-four. However, it would take another five years before these cars would hit the street. This highly original 1976 Chevrolet Vega Cosworth is one of the rare 3508 that were built for the 1975 and 1976 model years. If you are looking for a way to have a rare Chevy, then you need to take a closer look at this Vega.
The gold Cosworth Twin Cam lettering on the fenders and pinstripes the length of the body and over the wheel arches really play well contrasting against the paint, breaking things up just enough to really make this Vega pop out from the crowd.
Inside, the performance theme continues. Standard on every Cosworth Vega was the gold-colored, machine-turned dash bezel, and the gold-plated dash plaque with the build sequence number (in this case #3473, making it one of the last Cosworth Vegas produced). In front of the driver is a Cosworth Vega branded wheel (a very rare find indeed), and beyond the stock gauges include the original standard issue 8,000 RPM gauge tachometer that is still in great shape. The black carpets are in very good condition, as are the black door panels at the flanks, and the taut headliner up above. Like most performance cars from the era, options are limited, although you do get a heater-defrost unit and a Delco AM/FM radio still mounted in the center of the dash. The most important option of all is that tall shifter that splits the seats, topped with an original black knob that feels great in the hand as it manipulates the 5-speed manual below. This interior doesn't disappoint, but it's what's under the hood that will stop people in their tracks. Out back, the rear hatch lifts up and reveals plenty of storage space that's been neatly lined with black carpets to match the cabin.
Tilt the hood forward and you'll reveal a 2.0L Cosworth Vega, fuel injected Twin-Cam, inline-four with a die-cast aluminum alloy cylinder block. Attached to the block is the DOHC Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head, which makes this Vega sound and feel almost like an import tuner when you're cycling through the gears. Factory-rated conservatively at 110hp, this engine was no slack, but if we're going by our own 'seat-Dyno', it certainly feels a lot more powerful than that rating would suggest. Front disc brakes provide great stopping power, and one quick look underneath shows off just how solid and super-clean this Vega really is. Bolted to the very peppy engine is a quick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the ground through 13-inch factory gold-alloy rims with Bowtie center caps that have been wrapped in grippy blackwall rubber.

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $225 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit due at time of offer and an additional $500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase.. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
