1999 Saturn SL2
2017 Cruze Hatchback
2008 Town & Country - Family transport
2018 Cruze - 35mpg - avg, 49.7mpg - best so far.
2011 Impala - commuter
RIP-2002 Saturn SL2 Commuter car - burned a valve @ 234k miles

1977 Chevrolet Monza Mirage

Front are 195/60 14
back are 235/60 14

The wheels and tires are on loan from my corvair. The steel wheels are really heavy and would like to get something alot lighter.

Bill;
Looks like we have two things in common. I have a 1965 Monza and 1975 Vega. Now if both of my cars looked like yours my wife would not be on to me about getting rid on at least one of them. I have 5 vehicles and two run. Not great odds. In my research on Corvairs I've found a picture of some of the vehicles the General was thinking about for the Corvair after 1970. One is a dead ringer for the 74 up Vega. Could that be why some parts will interchange :?: :?: :?: :?: :wink:

If a V8 is to used in any of these vehicles the Corvair gets it. (Baby LT1 stretched to 305cid)
