From the December 1979 issue of HOT ROD: Would you describe a Chevy Vega as a station wagon?
Rob Meyers built his Vega like he builds houses: First he laid down a strong foundation, fabricating 2x2x1/8-inch square tubing into a super-strong custom frame; then he added a 4-link rear "floor" and Gabriel shocks to support an early Olds pumpkin-style rearend.
Also installed were mounts for the 327 heating system, which was to be monitored by the three "thermostats" '-Stewart-Warner boost and oil pressure gauges and a Moroso tach. What with the TRW blower slugs sealed by chrome moly rings, LT1 con rods, ported and polished 2.02 heads, roller cam, Weiand intake supporting a Bowers blower fed by two Holley carbs, MSD power company and Doug Thorley header system, there's enough heat to warm a greenhouse.
