Message engines into them. And if it wasn't one of those engines, it was a 396. They were the car of choice for the drag strip. I remember Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins having monster Vegas and every kid wanted to duplicate them. He'd run at Englishtown every other week. I always thought the other car models were more deserved of his skills, but he chose the Vega!
