1986 Chevrolet Nova limited edition review from North America

"Loveable car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front/rear brakes gas tank/filler neck all feul lines exaust.

General comments?

I haven't owned this car very long. but I do have a few things to say. it is an all around good car. its pretty peppy for as 4 banger the 1.6 is quicker than all 3 of my plymoth reliant 2.2's. but spite all that I've had it 2 weeks and its in the shop right now I'm doing all the work on it in my auto tech class. well I brought it in cause I had got 3 tickets loud exaust unsafe tire and speeding:< anyways my feul gauge started acting up and I had a feul leak so I dropped the tank to fix it only to my dismay to find lots and lots of rust. my filler neck had holes the size of golf balls in it and my feul lines were so brittle the broke right of the tank. well I tried to order the new parts like the filler neck and the sending unit like peice <with no fuel pump that's under the hood on this car> only to find out the limited edition on the side of the car means rare hard to find parts. napa, autozone or parts america had the parts I needed and I have to go through a dealership for the parts. despite all that I still love this car as of right now. cmon I bought it for a hundred bucks after dumping thousands into my last 3 k- cars. and it did sit in my friends yard for like a year and a half with NO gas in it so feul system problems were expcted. <3rd owner>
