I think you better get a parachute LOL

Good Luck

if a 500 Caddy will fit, a turbocharged buick V6 will be a cakewalk.

yup! short wheel base cars are a handful

it would have to be one pretty insane V6 in any Chevette to equal the insanity of the 6-71 blown small block powered Yugo that used to show up at the Car Craft SUmmer Nats..

Personally I would do a Miata. There are a fews kits out there to put V8s in them which you adapt for the Buick V6.

a power glide and a narrowed nine should fit

I can't believe the guy didn't pay you to haul it away. :biggrin:

if it's solid, then it's worth at least $120, since that's what scrap cars are worth by the ton these days.

My first question that comes to mind is why?

I've always wanted to build a 32 ford highboy roadster or 34 coupe with the GN drive train.

But hey go for it, just rebadge it as Buicks version of the Chevette that they never built. Wasn't it Pontiac that had a version of the Chevette? I can't remember what they called it, and haven't seen one in years.

Wow I am surprised there is even a chevette left. I thought they all rotted out?

It is a NICE sleeper concept.
Sounds very DO-ABLE

I have seen a lot of GN powered swaps, s10's, elcaminos, 54 Chevy (that was 1 sleeper)

It was a one owner car until a couple years ago when the owner passed away. It was always in the garage

really the only thing wrong with the stock engine is the freeze plugs are pushed out. it only has 70K one the original engine.

 

[Little6pack]

Sounds like you found a great canidate!

Can't wait to see the photos when your done.
