There was an outfit in Detroit that did Buick 215 conversions in Vegas. You
sent them your car and $750 and they installed a brand new 215 and all the
assorted items to make it right! I always thought that it was a heck of a
deal and would have made the Vega a great car.
Never had one and couldn't have spent the $750 back then anyway. Oh well...
