Pics of my new ride....Warning!! Chick Car Ahead!!

[Kenneth]

Go Chevy Chic!!!!!!!!!
I hate to say it, but I own two cars, one chevy elky and one VW cabriolet and I love both equally. I've got an '86, which is 5 years older than your car? You can do a lot of fun things with A1 frame. And forget about hunting down a scirocco 16v engine. If you're going to do a swap you get a mid 90's 1.8L Jetta engine dual overhead cam and shove it in there with the right header mods. It will be tight fit but you've got so much more room to improve...
And that price was a steal for that car. I've lived in San Dieog and Austin and cabriolet's are never cheap.
Here are some interesting links...
And if you have any questions about routine/common problems drop me a line... although I don't think the Chevy board likes all this import talk

sure they're not the one i mentioned ealier runs mid 12 second laps at the local track. that's pretty fast considering the super late models (high dollar, fast cars) only run mid 11s down to mid 10s.

That's a very clean car for the money! Wish I had car that got 40+ MPG. But I drive 2 miles to work so my 12 MPG's will do.

Nice find, chevychic.

Not one for convertibles but not a bad price.

Not a bad price at all......
