Remember the Chevy Vega with the V8 engine? Where you had to remove the engine to get at the rear spark plugs? That was a hoot.

Yep... quality vehicles in 70's.

Or the Chevy Chevette. Notorious for having a rusted out 'floorboard'. Like a Fred Flint Stone vehicle. Yep, had one.

They had a commercial jingle:
'Chevy Chevette, it'll drive you batty, err, happy'

I had a little 78 Chevy Monza (same as the Pontiac Sunbird). 4 cylinder, 5 speed, got ridiculous fuel mileage.

The Chevy Chevette got great fuel mileage, when it didn't break down. Then it got bad fuel mileage.

You are thinking the Monza with an optional V-8. The Vega only came with a 4 cylinder.
