My new $50 Chevette

I picked up this '86 Chevette from a friend of mine for $50. He said it ran quite poorly and was a pain to drive. Really...?

The only thing I've done to this car so far is clean the junk out of it. Mechanically, I have yet to touch it. There are a couple of minor issues with it, such as the door not closing properly and the broken door handle. Other than that, it works great!

@metroperson I did the brakes (all four corners), cleaned the interior, and gave it a tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc), but I could never it run quite right - was always hesitant to rev for some reason - even after taking it to a shop for a carb adjustment and checking the timing. At the end of the winter, I sold the car (for $150!)

@cg8888 so sorry to hear it didnt run right

@metroperson Can't really argue for $50. I've towed home cars I've paid more for. :)

[bmw4ever55]

all chevettes seem to do the ignition thing....my 2 chevettes did that.

[queensplazasouth]

maybe you needed a new efe grid

They see me rollin... They hatin.

[hottdylan1993]

My 69 Camaro does that with the ignition all of the time, sometimes I'll take a sharp curve and the key falls out. I believe this was common on GM cars from 1967-1985.

Looks like Pontiac T-1000 Tailights.

So Max Headroom had a Chevette?

Replace all the bad parts with newer ones, fix it up a bit, new paint job, drop a new chevy 4 cylinder in it, and there you go.
