Junkyard Find: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint

Wonder no more— here's a genuine Chevy Sprint awaiting consumption by The Crusher!

Is it possible that this car has just 32,561 miles on the clock? 132,561 is a lot more likely, but you never know.

Gets better fuel economy than any other four-passenger car in America (the Honda CRX HF was a two-passenger car), and it loves to run!


Translation: if you're ready to take a (short) step up from your moped, this is the car for you!


Of course, the Japanese-market ad for the same car is just… classier.
