That one owner sure banged it up a lot in "23K" miles...
Must have driven the car with their eyes closed!
Previous owner was a little old lady who only drove it on weekends ...to and from the bar.
@@onemorething8175 Funny 🚘🍹🍺🍺
I had one of these. It couldn't reach 65 mph even if it were dropped out of an airplane. The one in this video has the signature Helen Keller trim package.
I grew up in this same make and model car. It was also my 1st car, and I drove it to high school. My dad sold it in 2000. I miss it
Three Eyed Raven that was my 1st car too! Really miss it! Never broke down or left me stranded! Most reliable car I ever had! But I really beat the shit out of it. Lol
They were reliable enough. My high school friend bought an '81 ice blue coupe, 1.6 liter with the four speed manual. It became the family runabout for twenty years. The last time it occurred to my friend to mention the Chevette he said that the only things he had to do to it was regular maintenance, several sets of tires, brakes, one clutch and that was it. My friend always took excellent car of his vehicles and the Chevette was no exception as it looked as new when I last saw it during the Summer of 1999.
The one I used to ride in back in the 80's, already had rusted out floor panels. Riding around in that car dreaming that better days were coming. But those were actually the best days of my life.
I owned two Chevettes at different times in my life. They were the BEST cars for my requirements. Never let me down. Ever.
I had a 1986 -4speed. Loved it it. Bought my son a 1983 automatic.. He hated it. Said it was too small to put all his buddies in. Years later he say he wishes he still had that car. I wish there were some survivors still out there. I'd probably grab it. Such a simple car that worked.
I am the proud owner of a Brazilian Chevette sedan 1987... Ethanol... I use it as my every day ride. It has never left me on the road. I love this car...
My first car was a chevette got it brand new would love to have another one
My mom had a light blue '82 chevette. Me, my mom and sister traveled from Columbia SC to Mississippi and back twice in that car doing 65-70 mph all the way. The transmission was shot by 1988. So many memories in that car. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Now see if you can find a 'like new' Chevy Citation.
Getting on freeway was very scary very slow merging in,I was scared to death when I saw those semi's coming
I learned to drive on my mom's Chevette. Her car wasn't old at the time, and had low milage. They really are very slow, and it is scary entering the interstate. It shimmys at only 50mph. It is a good car for short drives around town, but it is not a highway car.
@@richardmarriott237 They actually stated that they were unsafe for highways when they came out. These are the days where highway speed limits rarely went above 55 mph lol
I had four chevettes in my younger days. So reliable! But wouldn't want to go back. I was cruising down the hwy one time, hit a dip, and my driver seat fell through the floor up to the bottom seat cushion lol. Scared the eff out of me. Whole floor was rusted out.
That's insane but funny. Glad it stopped there lol
Thanks for sharing the video. Brings back lots of memories. I remember my parents owning a Chevette in the late 70's, in Alberta. Looks like a car that may be worth to fix up a little cosmetically.
23,000 original drunk driven miles.
I remember my Chevette. It was a fun car. The passenger's floor plate rusted out. We would empty the ashtray through the fist-sized hole and I would sometimes aim for puddles and splash my passengers. The engine was indestructible but the only way the car would come to a stop was shear willpower. Ah memories.
Someone gave me a 84 Chevette 2 door that had a seized engine. It had the drivers floor rusted through. I had plans on fitting a Nissan v6 (that someone gave me) with a 5spd manual to it, but that rusted floor pretty much killed that idea. I gave it to someone and they made a dune buggy out of it.
I had an "85 Chevette, 2-door, 5 speed stick, I liked the car very much! I even put an Audiovox graphic equilizer/amp into its AM/FM cassette stereo system, wired some 6 x 9 boxed speakers in the cargo area; I used to drive around with the backseat
down, it made the back end like" bandshell", and the sound was great!! I drove it from Grand Rapids, MI. to Tulsa, OK. & back;
Man, That was an adventure for me... ( Stopped in St. Louis, MO. to visit Anheuser- Busch; Left there with a nice "beer buzz" !!)
I was finally traded it in on a 1989 Dodge Dakota pickup; the Chevette only had 32K on the odometer, and the Dodge dealer stole
it from me in the trade - "More fool me"...!! But I still think about that car, and I wish I still had it!!
My great Aunt 92 years old, had one like this that I bought from her for my mom to scoot around in back around 1998..it was a 1985 Chevette bought from Avis Car sales as a former rental car...even had original Avis key chain! Anyway, when mom got it in 1998 it only had maybe 44K miles..Aunt Lucille did not drive much and took very good care of it..still..that little 4 cyl ran like crap!!! Even with low miles, the cat had to have a bypass tube added as I guess it was clogged or something..a mechanic did it while mom was up in PA for a few months..I sold on E-Bay for more than you would think in 2004 as a low mileage mint museum piece that it was..as it did not have a single "scuff"...This person sure hit a lot of things in 23,000 miles!! Good Lord..granny was blind!!
Man this sure does bring on a flood of GREAT memories! My 1st car, and most reliable vehicle I owned! I would’ve given my boyfriend’s left but for this car. Lol
No offense to Mr Cereal Mashmallows, but every car he presents is a little gem in his eyes.
+Computer Associates The person who is going to buy these one owner rare cars is also going to see them as a little gem.
Funny thing it's called a Gemini in Australia, and we call them gems lol
lol yup and they're always "soooooo clean"
@@jjinnyc75 they and cars similar to this are a good deal if u can find them ,,, cars are expensive so these tyoe of older good shape cars are a good buy wether u just want a car to get around or want to restore it
YEP THIS TURKEY SMELLS LIKE A JUNK YARD FROM HERE.
I had an '86 Chevette coupe red witb a dark grey interior with a 4spd and i loved that lil twerp....lol
In 1986, my father bought a brand new cherry red one of these, I still remember the new paint smell..it was so strong and pungent..., I eventually wrapped it around a tree when I was 17....in 1988. ! Broke several ribs, my kids still raz me about t boning a tree in granddad's chevette! My demise was a wet road a bit too fast and the rear wheel drive!!! This would have never happened in a front wheel drive car! Good time still!
And the best part of owning this car was telling people I drive a "Vette"....wasn't lying!
In my old '78, with the one-barrel carb, I had a tractor trailer on my tail in the fast lane. I got her up to 80mph, and the coins in the coin tray by the shifter were practically airborne from the engine/exhaust vibration. 160,000 miles, and I called it quits... it went for parts.... though it was still running.
I had 4 of Chevettes
pvs58 that comment made my night
It became an organ donor, so to speak.
I had two of these.Even took a trip around the USA 12,000 miles in one month.Battery went out a hundred miles on way back to home.Great little car.
My Dad had a yellow one. He used commute long distances to work. Good car back then.
These were cars that were easy to work on, fun to drive and strictly no frills. Going over 80 miles an hour was out of the question, this car would only do it if dropped from an airplane.
thanks for posting. great find! mom had an '82 T1000 (Pontiac's version of the Chevette). brings back a lot of memories. especially transporting my go kart in the hatch area heading down to the track. car was a pos though-was in the shop more often than on the road. a/c only worked after the tranny shifted into 3rd. dad was thrilled after he got the insurance check after crashing it into a bridge.
i had a1981 chevette. it was my first car. LOVED IT. i could not kill it.
wish i lived close .I would love tohave this.my mom wants another chevette
It's nice of you trying to find any "positive" aspect of this car.
My first car was an 83 Chevette. Gosh that brings back memories!!!
This was my first car! I had the 1987 chevette and learned to drive stick on it. Mine was brown too. My friends called it “the turd.” Damn, I loved that car!
nice, my buddy had the same car, we got a speeding ticket one time, cop says we were going 130kms , that car could barely do 100. ive had nice cars, but picked up the most ladies in this thing, no lie!
Oh what a beautiful thingy. I was 16 in the 90s driving one look like this very thing.
We put $ 2 gas in it & pack up in it with my friends & drive that thing all over town on that $2.
Good times. 😁
My first car was a chevette. It ran forever. I also think it's cool that you see the rarity and uniqueness of the cool vehicles you come across. The old school wheels, ect. Stuff you just don't see anymore it's pretty cool. I guess i couldn't do this for a living because I would want to keep them all. Lol
That car looks well preserved and I remember that these car's were a big demand in California and the Rio Grand Valley of TX.
Omg... That was my first car! Same color too! Miss it so bad! It only had a AM radio.
An old lady sold us her 86 scooter 😁 100 bucks, well we thrashed that thing and it kept on running, thru deep water, high speed, skids, on ice and snow, jumped it, ran it off road, only thing we might have knocked loose was a sensor, the oil/choke sign kept on, but man oh man GM built a strong Econo box!!😁🙂
I remember my step dad buying my mom her first car and it was exactly this but red. Oh the memories in that old girl, I also remember one time at a red light it stalling and we were on an incline so we started rolling backwards and my mom started screaming so I started screaming lol she was trying to start it but if I think about it now I think she flooded it. Then I had no idea I was like 5. Ran into a parked car that stopped us, Step dad upgraded her to the celebrity lol
Rest In Peace momma 😞🙏
This makes me think of the pilot episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 where Brandon Walsh drove one of these that looks just about identical to this one.
The undercarriage and interior looks better than the body!
Cereal Marshmallows I owned a 1986 Red 4 door Chevy Chevette 1.6L 4cyl the Carb. was really gummed UP! it took 10 start & lots & lots of pumping the gas pedal to get it srarted drove it Up & down the trail beside my house Popping the clutch xD 5 speed manual it still ran I had it sold for a $100 & it went to a local demo derby track :) saw it at the track in 2012 summer! The guy rolled it landed on wheels & started right up again :D
I remember my Dad getting one of these as a rental car for a family vacation in Florida back in 1985. he
I owned a 1980 chevy chevette blue in color . It was converted to power brake . No a/c or power steering . But the engine was like a 1.6 litter motor great on gas only 10.00 bucks to full the tank in 1988. I wish I still had her .
My first car was a brand new 1986 Chevette. It was extremely reliable, and only had the factory recommended maintenance, and several sets of tires. It always delivered 36 to 38 miles per gallon of gas. I also had power steering and brakes on it. When it was sold, it had a ton of miles on it. I really loved that car. A couple of weeks ago, I found some papers from that car. I checked the VIN number from the paperwork on the Chevette. I was shocked when I discovered my old Chevette is still registered, and on the road.
we had those in 1982 columbus ohio based on a opel.are great cars
If I ever find a car like this, I snatch it up in a minute!
I had a 1986 -4speed 4 door blue in color Loved it it. Bought my son a 1983 automatic 2 door, white in color. He hated it. Said it was too small to put all his buddies in. Years later he say he wishes he still had that car. I wish there were some survivors still out there. I'd probably grab one. Such a simple car that worked. 4 speed is the way to go as they are underpowered. Plus the fun factor goes way up
i guess the previous person that had this car was probably blind , so many scratches in every single corner
David Conde Take Realy good Care . :-D
I think the previous owner must have been a very nervous elderly lady with a very small overhead garage door.
I never thought I'd see a Chevette again. I had one 20 years ago and it was pretty reliable. It did rust out though but then again I live in upstate NY.
They weren't bad cars. Main disadvantage is they are rear wheel drive compared to most other compact cars from that era.
had two of those, wish i still did... my mum had one, also... gr8 cars.
A little bit? Damn They got every body panel!
i owned three chevettes a 78 85 and 86 they are good cars good mileage lots of room in the back cheap and easy to find parts boring car gets you there and gets you back my favourite thing was in the winter when snow would blow out of the heater fans just like in a one horse open sleigh!
haters can hate, but these cars are apart of history. theyll always be cool
I actually love this car! i am 38 and this was a pretty popular car when i was a kid. my mom had one for a brief time and it was really comfy 2 ride in! would buy it if i could :)
Lol horn is louder than my 03 alero lol. I had an 85 love it. Shock towers went n I was 17 so I junked it...wish I didn't but oh well I guess
Amazing lines, beautiful color, just awesome. One of my personal dream cars.
You sure it wasn't a nightmare?
I used to love graduating in 1993, a few high school pals would say "I got a Vette." Yea, a Chevette Scooter; lol
Yeah I remember how slow the Chevette was. My friend owned one. We used to race with my Hyundai Pony. I beat him all the time.
Motorweek did a test of an automatic 82 Chevette, it did 0 to 60 in 30 seconds. lol I've had 3 of them and besides being slow, they're great little cars.
unique and special lol I love these cars I've had three my fav is the 4 speed manual but unique and special is a stretch.
My first car. Was fun to drive stick in the snow. Same color.
Wish I knew back then what I know now. Wasn't mechanically confident.
The only drum brakes I ever did
I used to have a 1984 Chevy Chevette with roughly 90,000 miles and was getting 55 Miles to the gallon on the Highway 40 something in the city and was very quick!! I even raced a 1987 olds. Cutlass that had a 8 cylinder engine and fuel injection and beat him!! Love that car!!
Had fun in the front seat with an X in high school, Mom's car. Same one, but red with vinyl interior. She would floor it and it would make more noise than accelerate. It was about 4yrs old at the time. Great cars to pick up for a few hundred bucks with low miles, they come up once in a while.
OMG... the car of my teens. Mine was an 84, so it seems that there were no changes that I can see. Same color, same interior, same grill, headlights, tail lights... everything looks the same, except my was a standard trans. I limo tented the windows, and removed the springs (slammed low pro, the lowest in Arizona in 1980s). I'll tell you what... I'll most certainly take another. Great little car.
How did it ride with no spings?
@@MrRibbit789 well... smooth, until I got on the I 17 in phoenix, then it was like riding on a washboard. Speed bumps? Always ride with a friend (so they can help you push it over).
Seriously, you couldn't stick your foot under the car. I've owned Pontiacs, Fords, Other Chevys, Dodge/Chrysler, Datsun, and out of all the cars I've owned... it's my little brown Chevette that I miss.
This Chevette has the IRS deflection package.
"That guy has no money, lets look elsewhere...."
That's a lot of scuffs and bangs for 23,000 miles. The owner certainly wasn't Mario Andretti.
My car has 70,000 and not one scuff or bang.
Looks more like 123,000 miles to me.
I'm from Montana and it helps they don't use salt on the roads there....everything here in Wisconsin is totally rusted.
Hey Im from Montana and True fact!!
Thumb up for entusiasm. One weak moment i considered if you would trade with my Pegeout Boxer 1.9 Diesel panel van and how to ship cars around. This Chevette are so American in a American way, At least i could tell people that i have an American made car. I like it in all it's ragged glory, looks like Bart and Grandad Simpson have had the roadtrip of their lives in it. The Vauxhall and Opels of the cevette models has since long ago turned to rust here in Europe, At least the dash want crackle since the weather allways are moist and cold.
Here in Brazil, we didn´t have this version.
A hug from Brazil.
My first new car was a 1983 Chevette, 4 speed manual, Candy apple red with black trim and limo tint. Front tag read "Little Red Chevette." Very reliable but super slow. I was 280 lbs at the time but the right front seat was just the right dimensions for fun. Corrosion killed it, otherwise i would still have it today.
here in europe it was called the opel Kadett same i regonaise the dash so they must have run the same platform because opel is a GM devision
holy shit did the owner of this thing go on a demolition derby in a parking lot
i had a 78 red coupe with a 4 speed i loved that car
took me many places cheaply
pretty nice car dude, my dad used to have one, comfortable as hell and very roomy
I'd love to find one like this.
The 2.8 V6 will drop right in. Use the port-injected one from a later third-gen Camaro, and a manual transmission, and this little thing will go like hell.
nice looking little chevette. takes me back!
my 79 model got good mpg. Timing belt would break every now and then, but was easy to change out.Looking for another one.Todays cars are mostly crap.
Never got more than 28 mpg in my 1979. What planet are you from?
I guess that was a non-interference timing belt since your engine wasn't ruined.
We had a 1979. I was a super little car. Great on gas. We drove it everywhere for years. We had to sell it when our daughter was born so we could get a.c. then the guy wrecked it shortly after. Sad
I owned a lot of Chevrolet Chevette back in the day one automatic and the rest was for Speed and 5 speed
Eddie Bauer chevette lol
Cute 85 Chevy Chevette I seen one online for $1550
damn,the stuff you find! i wish i was closer to you..we would be wheeling and dealing like its going outta style
my Cimarron went down that road!
i i love the Chevette why the am radio
I put 185k on mine and a lot of rockin in the hatch
In 1987, My first car was a 1981 Chevette, I have not owned another american car since.
looks sick, the steelies are awesome
The inside's in good shape. The exterior has plenty of damage, though.
for sure man, love seein the cars u post,im in canada, most old classics are rusted shyte
i like the rims. I had one but not in as good shape as this one on the inside. The car felt good going around corners and could eassily hold my bicycle in the back. ...wish it was fitted with porsche cayman brakes though.
I remember my mom have one of these as a kid hers was black and diesel
these are fun rear wheel drive with a 4 speed
I had one same color brown 4 speed. real runner
Beautiful and Chevette don't belong in the same sentence.
It's a beauty. I wish I had the dough for it. And a driver's license for that matter.
Can't be worth more than $600. Come on buy it.
Only 23k miles? 😁From the looks of it, I'm not sure the previous owner had a driver's license either...
@gerrysauto
Yes I think so. This is still a very good car though. Opel was bought out by GM.
super fast little car I had one sane year mys was red. still have it how much
I see more Chevette's than Citation's on the road when it comes to the Chevy hatchback cars.
I had one,😉👍😀
car sounds great man
