I always wanted a Cosworth. There was one still on the showroom of
Edwards Chevrolet in Whitewright Texas in 1984. The dealership owner
was a old man that kept a lot of one off vehicles, like a 1974 'vette
convertible on the showroom floor and wouldn't sell them for a million.
He just didn't need the money. About 1987 or 88 he died and his son
took all of the cool cars away.
Also OT, I owned a V8 Vega in the late '70's . Put a 302 Chevy out of a
z28 in it. It made one haul ass car. Sold it to my ex-nephew who sold
it for drugs. :-(

*one* of them was a Cosworth...
Wow. the last time I saw a Cosworth Vega was in 1980. It was a
surprising car -- almost as surprising as the Vega I encountered
that someone had wedged a 350 into -- a car which, thanks to the Vega's
corrosion problems, folded in half one day when the owner put her foot
in it coming off the line one afternoon...
