First off we have to thank the ever talented eBay trolling Nate for finding what has to be the nicest Chevette in America, no matter the engine or year. This thing is like a flipping concours quality Chevette. Every inch of it is perfect, the interior is cleaner than some surgical centers, the molding, the hubcaps, everything about it is absolutely spot on perfection. The engine is a big hairy rat and the rest of the car is built to handle it. The small rear tires? Yeah, those things are short timers because leaning into the pedal at any speed below like 150mph will result in John Force impersonations. Man is this thing nice! We want to hate guys who build cars like this because they take so much time and care to do it the right way that all of our hack tendencies are amplified that much more but how can you hate on the genius craftsman that built this bomb?
Here’s the rundown from the seller. We owe the man a beer because this car is that good.

Mother of God. That is awesome. Enjoying the looking at and listening to this car when…
ACK! @ 2:54 one of the world’s ugliest Mustangs comes past. From a distance, looks like it is going to be nice. A 69, with a blower sticking through the hood. Then it gets closer and it has horrible looking modern wheels off of a newer Mustang(? or Taurus?) and a fast and furious wing. Eeeww.
WANT! Needs 4 or 6 more mufflers though….
That is just really neat. Always like to see something different and that is!
“The Greatest Chevette Sleeper” is still a miserable little car that reminds me of the Jimmy Carter era. I doubt that initial bid of $20K is real.
I had two of these growing up. A white one and a blue one. I enjoyed the hell out of them. They were actually pretty tough. I’ve always wanted another just for sh$ts and grins. This takes the cake for me…..yummy.
Some one has to say it….. Should have done the LS thing instead.
I have to agree, it is the nicest Chevette I have ever seen! They never looked that nice off the showroom floor!
Very well executed sleeper. I love it and wish I had the money and vision to see a project like this through.
I’ve seen this car in person, and in fact that’s my video posted above. It’s cleaner than it looks in those pictures. It has a stock exhaust pipe on it, and some of the exhaust actually comes out of it, even though most dumps under the car. Every time he hits the gas it looks like the car is going to roll over.
We drove my girlfriend’s orange 1977 2 door Chevette to the car show that day. We passed this black one on the street, and the guy and his buddy were loosing their mind when they saw another Chevette on the same street as them.

The cartoon is tasteful, your authored subject matter stylish. however, you command get bought an shakiness over that you wish be delivering the following. sick indubitably come further previously again as exactly the similar just about very incessantly inside case you protect this hike.
