There are a million things that would be cool to get for Christmas but this Chevette is definitely the one I wish I had gotten this week! At $1,200, this is one affordable hot rod project and one that would kick ass with a junkyard LS build under the hood. Add a couple of turbos to that combo and this thing could be something to watch. It’s just so cute and weird that we can’t keep 0ur eyes off of it.
Here is all the info from the seller. Now tell us why we shouldn’t own this thing.

100% AGREE! What was the name of that Chevette that Hot Rod did back in the (I think) ’90s with (againz, I think… Jeeeze, I’m gettin’ old!) Caddy power? Well, remember, that was in Cali, the land of fruits and nuts, and “THAT AIN’T HAPPENIN!” We get by with some wild s@#t down here in Texas! Have at it, baby!

Bleeeearrrgh- far better to buy a Ford Focus and a Kugel Enterprises Ford V8 rwd kit!
That was Steve Mangate (spelling?) I kept that issue Of Hot Rod forever and finally a few years ago, I tried to get in touch with Steve about buying it, if it was for sale, but never got anywhere. I thought I read somewhere they took the engine out and did something with the body.
I think the Chevette deal cost Steve Magnante his job at Hotrod mag? Go ahead Reynolds hook up with Steve and do another Caddy hack Chevette.
There was one that went thru auction a few months back.
