77 chevette story and running

[wedothatshyt]

Chevette is a good car

[NDTomaino]

fords suck 95 is a very fiting and appropriate name

[acadianfever]

Great story: hope you can keep it. I'd leave it stock with the original motor

[2m4fiero]

anywaynes,that 2.8lv6 comes off an fiero ?

anywaynes /anywayes i wish you all the best/luck ! good vids.

I like it!Greetings from holland,windmills,cheese and wooden shoes!

[uscar17]

I'm gonna buy an 78 Opel Kadett, which is the German version of the Chevette.

[NissanSS97]

I had a 77 to my first car to drive to high school i love it and got great gas mpg so keep that chevy

[farmall1938]

Oh PLEASE don't cut it up !!!! I always loved that vintage of chevette with the small tail lights and the round headlights and old-style grille......its the same age as ME !!!! Always wanted one to do a 350 conversion myself.....never got one though.....

[dillonwadej]

you should put a 350 in it, it would make a nice toy!!!

[curtismundy]

did you ever put that motor in it???

[wagner59270]

no I got really busy like so its still sitting in the shed

[masterlee123]

WoW that the best car story ever. Now you can give the car to your kids. It is a beautifull little car.

[460fordtruckman]

iv put 350s in those cars

[thjuko]

A crazy world or a small town lol

[83RebelRanger]

That's a pretty rich history. I wish I could say that for my dad's 85 Ranger he use to have. Unfortunately I did not get it, anyways that's amazing.

[pedalpunk57]

I have to say I really enjoyed your story. As a former Chevette owner( I've owned 3 in a 10 year period) I love these cars and I sure do have a few stories of my own to tell. Contrary to Chevettes being considered a joke in the automotive world, I'd still rather own one than anything else, point blank.

[herbienbrian]

neat story!

I love it when people tell stories about their cars. This ones really cool though!

although I can't help but agree with wheel456, I like the look of these cars stock. But thats just my personall opinion, its your car. Do what you want with it, lol

[TheCubanMan728]

how did ur inlaws know it was theirs??

[wagner59270]

just certain signature things about the vehicle a definite scratch in the side, hood just slightly faded from the body from a bad repaint, rebuilt axle, small crack in the tail light ect

[wheel456]

oh, by the way, keep engine original, 38 mpg is awesum, clean it up, give it a cool paint job.

why would u want to put bigger engine in and less mileage. if u want more power, buy a cheap bigger car instead of defacing the 77 chevette

[wagner59270]

yeah like I said in an earlier post Im not sure what Im gonna do with it yet but my sister does need a car when she gets her license this year and Im thinking it would make an excellent high school car lol

[wheel456]

great story

[farmerinchico]

I learned to drive in my sisters 1980 Chevette (also yellow). I got pulled over one time for speeding in it... The cop didn't believe that a Chevette could have broken the speed limit...

[wagner59270]

LMAO should have told him "shit man it took me 30 min to get going this fast and now I gotta start all over again" lol

[farmerinchico]

I never attempted overtaking another vehicle on the rural highway unless the road in the opposite direction was completely clear. Even when the road was completely clear I was always afraid...

[wagner59270]

yeah Ive never gotten a ticket with this car yet but the thought of it makes me giggle

[REBEL2250]

ugly ass car! no offence lol. and i got my old 84 chevy c10 the same way except i found it behind a gas station.

[wagner59270]

well Im not going to argue that its ugly for sure... gotta be one of the goofiest looking cars there is... I love free cars

[REBEL2250]

same here man! i have a feeling that ill be getting a ton more free trucks soon too. i usually find truck sitting in peoples yards that they don't even want. i just found 2 Chevy K5 blazers, a K10, C20, and a nice 1978 Ford F150, F100, and a few others. i'm stopping by those houses tomorrow to ask if they would give them to me.

[wagner59270]

its amazing what people will give away

[coffeefish]

Keep that beauty stock. What are you thinking?

[wagner59270]

Im thinking its a 77 chevette that I got for free lol but Im not certain what for sure I will do with it just yet because my sister gets her license very soon and needs a good first car

[FordsSuck95]

Oh yeah, and about my name, I was going to make a name, I looked out the window, and my uncle had the hood up on his Bronco, and I said FordsSuck, and that was not available, and I said FordsSuck95, and that is the original name, and the year I was born. I don't really hate Fords, I really like every kind of car, I did hate Fords but I don't anymore, they are all good to me

[wagner59270]

awesome... you gotta have an open mind when it comes to vehicles, theyve all got good ones and bad ones

[dalekrueger]

ever try LUCAS OIL STABLIZER in it? if you do it might out live you

[wagner59270]

I actually just put in some lucas last week... I really like the stuff for engines... not so keen on the transmission blend though... had a really bad experience once

[dalekrueger]

what happened with the transmission blend?

[wagner59270]

put it in a high mileage tranny after I replaced an input seal and it stopped shifting... might not have been the lucas but I still havent used it since... long story that Ill have to tell when I start work on the bronco

[romankow]

hehe... when i get my webcam i'm gonna have to put some corrections in your story here, you have a couple of things off

[MysticMTL]

Great story! For sure it'll start. I have an '82 T1000 that was passed down to me last year, and has been in the family since 1992. It's not on the road right now, but there are some future plans for it, I just need the time and money to get the brakes fixed and a hose changed. 86,000km's original.

[wagner59270]

wow thats some really low miles... those are such awesome little cars... be sure to keep me posted on how the work on it goes

[romankow]

lol wayne you know that chevette only has like 90,000 miles on it tho :P

[wagner59270]

[wagner59270]
