I'm asking cause I need a cheap car and I found an 84' Chevette for $500 CDN.
She's the standard grey/blue, Automatic[[blech!), with only 120,000 kms but I don't know the engine size. I still have to go see it.
Do ya love it? Do you hate it?
What have/are your experiences been like?
How are they in the snow? Like a boat anchor?
How easy can I toss in an equally old S-10 V6 with a 5-speed? Expensive?
How easy will it be for me to die in a moderate collision? lol
My wifes uncle swears by them...at one point, apparently he had 6....at the same time!
Two now remain on his property for whatever reason, but I can salvage parts from them assuming they arn't monuments to past Vettes.
I figure if I get two or three months outta the ol' girl then it's money well spent.
I'd like to hear your stories if ya got'em! Don't be ashamed to admit it. I know......they've been the butt of jokes since time immortal, but I kinda like them. I'm just worried about the easy death, and frequent breakdowns. My buddy used to drive Chevettes all the time and they were fun little cars. Of course...I didn't own them, so I don't know the difficulties involved in owning one.
Thanks!
