Cheap Classic: 1976 Chevrolet Chevette

If you’ve been searching for the automotive equivalent of a thrift-store blazer that somehow looks good with the right sneakers, allow me to present this Chevrolet Chevette hatchback. Wearing a tasteful blue-on-blue combo, this survivor hatchback has been in only two hands since new, with service records stretching back to 1977. It’s powered by the trusty 1.6L four-cylinder paired to a 4-speed manual, and the seller has already sorted the brakes and fuel system so it’s road-ready. Suspension has been dropped about an inch and a half for a bit of attitude, and the car rolls on Subaru wheels—because why not. It won’t win any drag races, but this Chevette has been happily commuting on California freeways as a fun, thrifty daily driver. Find this 1976 Chevrolet Chevette offered for $3,500 in Bakersfield, CA via facevette cheapbook.

Seller’s description
Here’s my 1976 Chevrolet Chevette. I bought it from the original owner. There’s service records back to 1977. I went through the brakes and fuel system. It has been used for daily driver and does very well on California Freeways. It needs some work to make it perfect but does great as a fun daily driver. Suspension has been lowered about 1.5 inches and wheels are Subaru. It is a 1.6L with 4 speed. Price is negotiable and I will help with transportation logistics.
