So I bought this little guy last night for dirt cheap. It is the optimistically named Envoy Epic which is a Canadian only variant on the Vauxhall Viva HA sold at Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealers. The Vauxhall Viva was also sold in Canada at Pontiac/Oldsmobile dealers. There is a bit more info here - http://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside ... beginning/
The car is very solid - pretty much rust free with some dents and dings. It runs and drives but needs a little carb work - an accelerator pump diaphragm for the Solex. Anyone got a parts supplier for this? Give it too much gas and it bogs and stalls.
Interior is pretty awful however. Very much sun damaged as vinyl is extremely brittle and foam has degraded. Back seat seems ok but I suspect it will crack the first time it is sat on.
It has 46k miles on the odometer which could very well be original. All the hubcaps are accounted for. The chrome strip down the side makes it a Deluxe! The Enovy version usually used the higher trim Vauxhall headlights or tail light to differentiate it from the Vauxhall version in Canada. So all Envoys of this generation used the round tail lights. Oddly they are all red unlike the UK SL which is two red and one orange. The Canadian Vauxhall Viva used the lower trim lights. I believe mine is a Deluxe high trim due to the chrome strip along the side. Not sure what else Deluxe would bring with it.
Not sure what my plans are for it yet. Pictures taken at seller's place and I'm going to store it for a month or so to get my Mercedes finished up then bring home. I'll get it roadworthy as is first and see were to go from there.
