Description for Chevrolet Chevette 1981
This car was inherited this year after my 79 yo mom passed. She cherished this car and would get loads of compliments as she drove it around to work everyday. It was perfect for her driving 30 to 45 mph to her job, cautiously in the right hand lane. Even without power windows, steering or brakes, she would not even dream of getting rid of this car. Her mechanic would joke about how she could possibly have a new car with all the money she put into it over the years replacing parts as they would go. She most recently changed out the A/C system, making it COLD because she hated the Florida heat. It blows out strong and keeps cold in even the hottest days. Unusual for these cars this age to find that, I am told. In the past 1.5 years she replaced the tires, all 4, and they have much tread left. Battery changed out this year. I bought brand new beige rubber floor mats and trunk liner for the sale. Driver side door handle did break and I bought what is supposed to be a replacement part. It will possibly need new holes drilled to install. This part will have to be hacked and installed by the new owner. I also bought some plastic clamp screws (that hold on wall boards, some original screws were missing) and will include them. These also were the parts sold for this model.Mileage: In December of 2015 the Chevette service records showed 49,999 as the mileage. When I took over in July, she had about 53,000 miles and then the odometer one day showed "EMISSION" blocking out the mileage. I think she will need to have the catalytic converter replaced.
The following items were standard on this model:
I will send you all the original paperwork from the original sale. My Mom was the second owner, having inherited her from a little 98 year old lady in 2012. Doris saved all the papers. The original window price list, the owners manual, and service book. Did you know that on the original window price list it states that," based on 26 MPG, 15,000 miles/year, $1.55 /gallon, annual fuel cost $895.00" And that was in 1981........I guess gas prices really are a bargain today.
Note: If you want any extra pics, let me know.On Aug-09-17 at 10:41:26 PDT, seller added the following information:
I have added 4 more pictures closeups of the areas of rust. Referring to the picture that shows the rust areas under the front window, there is one more area of rust that does not show up on this picture because it is to the right of the picture. It is the same size as the area shown in the picture shown.
