I never thought of a Chevette as a race car?????  I’ve seen Pinto’s and even a Gremlin, what next a Hemi Yugo?

Ok you so want it it’s up for sale. Just for you it’ll only cost you a 1,000.00 

Here you go. $130 and it’ll bolt right up to your adapter. Not a fan of the stainless rim but it shouldn’t be tough to get a leather wrap for that & you’re good to go. Only possible issue is it’s dished 2.125 inches.

Thanks Ed- I  will certainly  catch up with you when back in the Severna Park area…

C’mon up, John. PM sent re the steering wheel. I got it at SoCal Customs. Spendy.

Congrats Greg! I became a Grandpa 11/16/2011. I cant wait for the 1st time I get to pick him up from school in the TD.

Webers on a Chevette. If I had a Chevette car I would so want that.Hell, I sooo want that anyway! Mileage and drivability be damned.

Save that photo for next year’s calendar, John. It’s a keeper.Know what you mean about the attention. On Thursday I was out and about again with Bridget, knocking on doors in some Baltimore neighborhoods. It was around 3 pm and so some of the schools were letting out. The kids went wild. One girl asked me to stop so she could take a picture.…[Read more]

I also toyed with an EV conversion and, like Ed, decided the numbers just aren’t there yet. 

I discovered how non-leak proof my London Roadster was on my initial drive home.  It rained in Seattle, in Oregon, and northern California until my windshield wipers died. Water was dripping and streaming on the inside of my windshield.  Luckily, we don’t get too many rainy days in Phoenix, and fog is even more rare, but I still want my wipers t…[Read more]

I thought so.  The original wires were black. 

what your looking at is a chevy chevette 1.6 with a few mod’s

That’s a great “fog” shot through the wind screen!I’ve driven my TD through some of the worst weather I’ve ever driven any car in. Fun, in an odd sort of way.

My wife and i will take my car out for ice creem  or coffee sometimes for a bite to eat and it never fails when we come out to go home there is always people around it .Lots of times its 60 70 80 year old women. I figure that they remember it from when they were in their prime. Sometimes i refer to it as my chick magnet.

I think it’s the trumpet section of the Pinto Philharmonic.

That looks fun, but a bit cold if your top was down.  It reminds me that I need to get my London Roadster windshield wipes working again.  My engine will soon be mounted and I’m itchin’ for a ride.

Sure is purdy. Great wheels too. Those aren’t factory, are they?

Whoa! What’s that, Ray?

would more carb’s help,
