Chevrolet Vega 434 Small Block 1977
General description :
For sale in our Orlando showroom is a 1977 Chevrolet Vega Wagon Drag Car. The Chevrolet Vega was originally intended by GM chairman James Roche to be an import vehicle beater and he wanted it done in 2 years or less. Going up against the likes of Fiat, Opel, Subaru, Datsun, and Toyota was no easy task. The design and engineering team got the project done on time and initially the Vega won awards such as 1971 and 1972 motor trend car of the year, and best economy sedan from car and driver from 1971 to 1973. Given the Vega's light weight and fairly rigid chassis, Vega's were used in a broad spectrum of automotive racing, from road courses to drag racing. This bright purple Vega is equipped with a monster 434 CID V8 equipped with Compstar rods, Ross Pistons, and Gibbs Racing heads. The chassis was done by sun coast in St Petersburg Florida. There are currently 10 1/4 mile passes on the engine and has a best time so far of 9.9 seconds at 130mph.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
