1987 Chevrolet Sprint review from North America
"Best gas saver of them all!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine started using oil @ about 140,000 miles so I replaced it with a salvage engine. I think the carb might be about to die..
General comments?
This car is something else. I mean you would never expect a car like this to last this long. It just keeps going and going I hate to get rid of it considering that it's never let me down once, but I got to say I'm getting kinda scared to drive it with all those gas hog Suv's out there. I pulled up beside one the other day and I swear you could have put three or four Sprints in that thing. I can just imagine if one of those things would hit it!
