And to document it - a press clipping of a Chevy Sales meeting at Six Flags where the El Camino was introduced into the line up - in April of 74. The El Camino has no RPO factory ordering code, yet first hand accounts I've gathered are evidence that the El Camino could be ordered from the dealer and outfitted as a "Spirit of America" at the factory - and delivered to the dealer that way. It seems to be a mystery car, almost lost to time - matthew the bow tie guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281975717497349951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-21553832412378513462017-01-27T16:02:13.852-08:002017-01-27T16:02:13.852-08:00I doubt it... try some google fu, you might get lu...I doubt it... try some google fu, you might get lucky and find a Vega that was at a car show that was photographed recently with much better quality resolutionJessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429349943129907930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-88556456348329858812017-01-27T13:26:12.731-08:002017-01-27T13:26:12.731-08:00does anybody have a picture ( close up ) of the fl...does anybody have a picture ( close up ) of the flag emblem on the vega? im trying to reproduce one for a plastic model and need a good picture. any help would be appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019701059148326125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-63348547795004124092016-04-17T12:49:10.162-07:002016-04-17T12:49:10.162-07:00Damn... that's hard.

Probably track all the auction houses to see what they may have had sell, if any, like yours. Tyr Ebay motors history too. Ask Chevy car clubs and magazines. Ask Hagerty and Hemmings. But you are probably at the buyers whim.
