Apparently, this 1975 Vega survived remarkably well - unlike that Tulsa '57 Plymouth ("Miss Belvedere" ) But of course, this story is more than that....

Yes, did see this when they opened it up. It fared well. That Plymouth was a wet mess.

That was cool to see that everything was able to withstand through time.

They obviously did a great job sealing the contents of this time capsule.

The only surviving Vega because it wasn't driven.

"The only surviving Vega because it wasn't driven."
HA! I can't argue that, Bob! As I've noted before... the last time I drove a stick, was in the early 1980's. I borrowed my friend's yellow Vega coupe - just like this one - to buy a pack of cigarettes. Despite being only 5 or 6 years old, the Vega was a bit janky!

My first reaction to this story was "why would they have picked a VEGA??" It's not even the GT for pity's sake. Lol.

@jack-dodds Pretty schweet! I didn't know there was ever a Yenko Vega; I always thought that Cosworth job was top dog.
