About Me My name is Adam and I'm working with my dad to transform the Vega from a consistent bracket car to a legal street terror.
The '57 is for sale. |
|
General Vehicle Comments Name in the '70s was "Mama's Madness" which came from the original owner's wife's reaction when she found out he cut up a car that was still under warranty to turn it into a racecar...nowadays, I like to refer to it as the Panic Express, which is a play on "panel express", which is what GM called this little one-seater delivery Vega. |
