There is an auction coming up this sunday not far from me that has a couple "salvage cars" as they put it. I know some of you use a vega hatchback for your window plugs and this one car looks like maybe a later model Vega but I cant tell for sure. Anyway it looks like it has an extra rear hatch if anyone is interested.
:2thumbs: :2thumbs: that is the correct hatch
Yep it's the right one!! Snag it!! $100-150.00 should buy it!!!
It's probably a package deal, get it all for one money but I doubt I can get it for 100 or 150 due to the price of scrap being as high as it is but supposedly there are no titles.

scrap has come back down quite a bit and is still dropping
I don't mind going to pick it up if I thought someone could use it sooner or later, but I have no plans on doing one.
I paid $150 for my complete 77 Vega hatch, Vega parts are dirt cheap... I saw a whole Vega for sale $300.00!! I would have bought it pulled the hatch and scrapped it and got the hatch for free but it was 3 states away!!! :lol:
The car sold for $400, but I did get the spare rear hatch if anyone needs one.
you mean you passed on it!! You didn't want to restore the Vega! :smilielol:

Hard to tell in the photo, but is the trim around the glass missing, or did someone primer over it? :shruggy:
Once in a while I see trim for sale on ebay, but it can be pretty scarce. Hope it's there, it'll make someone who needs a hatch very happy.
If I needed a hatch I'd be on my way to your neck of the woods, but I have one as well as a spare trim set.

LOL, No title, and I figured $400 was more than what it was worth when it was new. It's supposedly going to become a drag car.

I think it's been painted over but I'll look tomorrow.
I finally got a chance to check that out today when I unloaded everything I bought at the auction. The trim is painted over and actually looks like it would be really nice if it were cleaned. I think it's actually primer.
Hit it with some 000 steel wool soaked in laquer thinner!!!! :icon_smile_big:
