I always wanted a Cosworth. There was one still on the showroom of
Edwards Chevrolet in Whitewright Texas in 1984. The dealership owner
was a old man that kept a lot of one off vehicles, like a 1974 'vette
convertible on the showroom floor and wouldn't sell them for a million.
He just didn't need the money. About 1987 or 88 he died and his son
took all of the cool cars away.

Also OT, I owned a V8 Vega in the late '70's . Put a 302 Chevy out of a
z28 in it. It made one haul ass car. Sold it to my ex-nephew who sold
it for drugs. :-(
