LTS, or base model?
 
The odd thing was the base engine was 1.9l, while the LTS got a more modern DOHC 1.8l.

Wasn't the 1.9 a Ford engine, a holdover from the Escort? I mean, from the Ford-built Escort, not the Escort that Mazda built for them?

I think it was the base model as it had plastic wheel covers with these circular openings along the circumference.

Yep.
 
I really only looked at the DOHC 1.8l models.

...this one is a far, far cry from the one we last discussed, but I bet this was a sharp little '76 Vega when new...a GT wagon, 5-speed, with Custom interior option. I would have liked the optional side striping though.

One "bid" for $850...yeah, right.
 
Worthless in that condition? Maybe $250 for bits and pieces.

The only Taurii we have ever had were SHO's, so this is all new to me.

That eBay ad has 1,815 hits as of this moment, pretty amazing.

1800 of those hits are from Edmunds forums users and lurkers, the other 15 from people who might be interested in it

A few oddballs this evening - 70s Datsun extended cab pickup, early R107 450SL - probably 1972-73, what I think was an early Viper - no side windows - just these clip on looking, covers, VW Phaeton, 90s Alfa Spider with a flush rear end.
 
And speaking of Vega wagons, about 10 years ago, I spotted this "Nomad" waiting to be discovered and saved:
