For some reason, every vehicle I have had was the best i had ever had. At the time. Except for the Chevettes. Those were crap and I just made them look good.
I've always thought it would be cool to put something stupid fast, like a built 350, in a Chevette and cruise around.

Side story: About 15 years ago I was cruising Hampton Beach, NH and I saw a mint condition two-tone Chevette cruising around. I was shocked.

Chevettes?

There should have never been more than one.

My mother went from a 1972 buick skylark 350 four barrel to a chevy chevette. She hated that chevette. Couldn't get out of its own way.

<shaking my head> I had two. At least they were stick shifts and I drove them HARD. One was a T-Type. Not really, I had a friend that swiped some T-Type appliques that I put on mine. People did ask about it and I told them it was an option package that was extremely hard to get.

After putting the tailgate damper on:

"Ooh, ooh
We're no strangers to mods
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other true car buy
I just wanna tell you how I'm hooked
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give it up
Never gonna let it down
Never gonna run around and desert it
Never gonna make it cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and buy some other ... 'pig with lipstick'...

You could'a sent me half the cost
had more for the next down payment
now you're F'ing lost
cause of some new color frost...:LOL:
Channeling a little Rick Astley are we Terry? :)

Chevettes = Shove-its
Don't knock them, Sir. They served a purpose. They gave people that didn't have much income access to a new vehicle where the fact that it was new would give them confidence and might, MIGHT, last long enough to get them to a better place where they could move up to a nicer vehicle.

I know that a 350 would fit in a Monza because I've done it but never tried with the 'vettes.
