Ah, yes, the Vega. Am I ever glad I didn't buy one. The engine block was aluminum. One of the first ever, I think. Silicons were used to harden the cylinder walls. Unfortunately, the radiator was about the size of a postage stamp with no coolant recovery system. Severe overheating resulted whenever the fluid was down even a little bit which caused the aluminum to go into meltdown. General Motors screwed up the car even more when they used paint that evaporated the new undercoating they had developed resulting in the cars leaving the factory with bare metal on the underside. I had, fortunately, taken a vow by that time to never, ever, buy anything again with the name Chevrolet on it, so I missed the experience of owning one.
