I recall talking to a Chevy salesman who remembered the Cosworth Vega.
Each dealership received one. The one they had would never stay running.
I've always wondered if they would make a good collector's car. I've only
ever seen one. I used to own a vanilla Vega, which I found very comfortable
to drive but I couldn't afford the oil (:-).

Btw, the British version of the Ford Escort, circa 1970 had one model
called the RS1600 that had a 16 valve four banger. These type of cars
were a result of the European regulations requiring that the cars used
for rallying be available to the great unwashed public. Other models
I recall were the Austin/Morris Mini Cooper S, the Ford Lotus Cortina and the 
Renault Turbo R5 amongst others.
