1987 Chevrolet Cavalier 2 DR review from North America
"The Cavalier the would not die"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head Gasket, Starter, Replaced all 4 brakes, exhaust, and just regular maintenance.
General comments?
This was the best car I ever owned. I bought it from a customer at the garage I worked at during high school for 100 $ from some old lady. The head gasket blew within the first week and I thought it was a bad sign of things to come, but the car proved me wrong. I drove this car VERY HARD and it just asked for more. It was a 4 speed automatic that received many neutral drops. The engine sized up on me one day after driving it very hard and I thought I had finally killed it, nope I put some oil additive in it and let it sit for a few days and off she was again for about another 10k miles. This was the best car I ever owned.
