Thanks to BangShifter Anthony Catalanotto we have photos and the link to a really, really nice car with some pretty crappy photos that’s for sale. The machine is called the COPO Cosworth and we’re totally on board with that because this is one of the cleanest and straightest Cosworth Vegas we have ever seen packed full of stroker small block Chevy goodness and dressed up like it should have been there in the first place, only because it has been dressed up like that in the first place.
For starters, Cosworth Vegas have made the turn into coolsville in our book. The cars that were quite literally ahead of their time in the 1970s are pretty much the prototype of the small high performance cars of today. This one has the modern twist of stroker small block bad-assery and damn if it isn’t clean as a whistle.
Cars like this are among our favorites. Machines built with a clear sense of purpose and with a very solid plan from the start. Again, the photos are not the greatest but this thing sure seems like it was done the right way. The fact that a factory style air cleaner was used to cap the engine off, the stamped steel valve covers painted in Chevy orange, the tasteful COPO Cosworth logo on the side of the body, the beefed Chevelle rear axle, and the 100% bone stock looking interior. Projects like this one can go off the rails and get weird in a hurry. This one did not and we’re completely in love.
Could we change one thing? We could always change one thing. We just want some overgrown gold Minilite style wheels on the corners of this thing.

Crackpipe Price.
You never know. There are a lot of stupid, gullible people out there.
Nice. Looks like a brand-new stock car, do the Minilites and I’d drive it and I’m neither stupid nor gullible (of-course it needs a real price but whatever).
However, no “Chevelle” came with a 7 1/2″ 3.73 torque-arm-equipped diff, but all 4spd Cosworth Vegas such as this appears to be did, stock (brakes and axles easy mods w/ Monza and S-10 parts). Apollo discs (and, uh, calibers) would be a strange choice at-least, when ’74-down rear-steer wouldn’t work, nor would the ’75-up tall-spindle parts…G/S body stuff is the common swap and practically a bolt-in. All no problem, but what is the need to be making up stories?
Craigslist a strange place, don’t go in uneducated.
You couldn’t get that price for a stock Cosworth with that mileage. Beautiful car but he’ll be lucky to 10K.
I could live without the blackout tinting. But I am fine with the dog dish caps and steelies.
Your fine with this or that , sounds like a grey poop fkn response wing nut
No body gives a fk if ” your fine ” !!
