mikemodeler Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 Snagged this off eBay a while back, was gonna detail it but went with a wheel swap and some left over Z-28 stripes from a Revell kit. Have a full detail MPC kit to build in the stash, it will get more details and some performance mods.
Lucius Molchany Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 Pretty cool! I remember that my wife had a bronze 77 Chevette when we were dating and it was a pretty good little around town runabout ..it got good gas mileage,ran well and had a large cargo capacity due to the hatchback.Unfortunately,she wrecked it!
nyguy Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 My wife also had a mist green one back in the day. When we traded the car, you should have seen the car salesman's face when I told him my trade-in was a "vette". Then his face when he saw it was a Chevette. Priceless !!!!! 1
espo Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Great clean looking build. Like so many others, got a '76 Rally 1.6 for my wife, Big X here. She wanted one in the worst way, so I ordered her an Orange mt. with the custom interior. The cloth inserts were the same as a Caprice. Those wheels make it look like you should find a small block under the hood.
Doug 1061 Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Way cool. A guy down the street from my mom has one of these that he bought shiny new in late 70s and is still his daily driver. Looks to still be in great shape.
bubba1975 Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Love it! We had a 79 close to the same color that new looked that good!
Koellefornia Kid Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 Cool little hatchback! The wheel swap and the stripes suit it well!
Slotto Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 Very cool. Those wheels look nice on this one
mikemodeler Posted December 25, 2022 Author Posted December 25, 2022 Just snagged another one off of eBay dirt cheap, this time a brown one. Have to see what I have for graphics for it, gonna be hard to make that brown look nice. Thanks for the comments.
