Did a quickie valve job on it in the middle of winter and he drove it for a few more years.

That's the problem with cars like the Chevette. You don't really like them, but the damn things keep running so you can't get rid of them.

I'm a vette fan here. Rebuilt two with my father since my years out of the womb. By far the last rebuild is his '68 convertible with hardtop, millennium yellow. It just has a really good look out of the rest. :)
