Here's a blast from the past, an '82 Chevette! It only has a 5 digit odometer that shows 23000 Kms, so I am thinking it's actually 123,000 Kms (76k miles). Yet another autotragedy. Original windshield still in it (There's a dealership sticker on the inside of it in a typeface right out of the '80s), looks to be original paint but the 1/4s are finally bubbling through with rust. New tires, expensive battery in it - I'd guess it's probably only had one owner, and they probably were old and passed away, and whoever inherited it took it to some dealer as a trade in. Inherited trade ins always have a certain look to them, and this thing has it in spades ha ha.





I drove it around for a bit, it just about stalls when it goes into 3rd gear at lower RPMs. The '80s were a crazy time!
