I found my '73 Vega. Mine was a red hatchback, just like in the brochure. I did paint a black racing stripe on the hood of mine, though.  76,000 miles on the odo when I got it.
When we traded it in at 126K, the engine was using a quart of oil every 100 miles, and was fouling one spark plug every 300 miles. Got $100 in trade toward a new '78 Mazda GLC. A couple months later I drove past that Mazda dealership in Bay City MI and saw a sign out front proclaiming a great deal on a '73 Vega, like new, only 26K miles, for $1995.

1965 Mustang 289 Convertible. Dark Ivy Green with a White Roof. Came stock with a black top but when I restored it I went with the white, besides the top everything was original and all numbers matched. I had it for almost 18 years and man I REALLY wish that I had never sold it!!!!
