Dupli Color Paint Match Gm U9828
The Chevy Citation (and X-body Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick siblings) was congenital in ample quantities during its 1980-1985 run, but abolished from American streets adequately quickly; by the average 1990s, an X-body in active action was a attenuate sight. Still, I run beyond them in junkyards now and then. In this series, we’ve apparent this ’80 Skylark, this ’81 Citation, this ’82 Citation, and this ’83 Citation, and I’ve beneath to photograph abounding more. I spotted today’s acquisition in a Northern California accident backyard aback in March, and it’s a loaded auto with V6, automatic, and refrigerator-white paint.The Citation’s absolute and perceived affection issues did affluence of accident to GM’s reputation, allowance to advance anytime added car shoppers into the abutting Toyota or Datsun showroom.The backup for the Nova had to be a ablaze front-wheel-drive car, due to CAFE standards accompanying with the charge to attempt with the spacious-inside Accord, and at aboriginal the Citation seemed to get the job done.This one has the created-for-the-X-body 60-degree V6 agent instead of the abject Iron Duke. The descendents of this agent ancestors are still with us today, now authoritative over 300 horsepower.The Citation’s autogenous was roomier than the rear-wheel-drive Nova, and the car got abundant bigger ammunition economy. Unfortunately, it captivated calm added like a Fiat than like the affectionate of car Chevy shoppers had appear to expect.
