On this page is the rest of the Chevy Car line-up for 1986. On the third page you will find information on the Trucks, Vans and 4X4's offered by Chevrolet for the year also.
I used to drive one of these cars and they happen to be a very good car with the V-6 in them. Check out my stories involving the car if want to read something really interesting.
One of North America's most popular mid-sized cars, was also offered by Oldsmobile , Buick and Pontiac as the Cutlass Ciera, Century and 6000 respectively. In the Chevrolet version, a 2.5l Four and 2.8l V-6 were offered as power plants. A 2-dr. Coupe, 4-Dr. Sedan and Wagon models were offered to appeal to any type of customer. For 1986, a number of changes were made. A new grille is used in the front, and the rear has been re-designed to look more modern. Both a carburator and fuel-injected were available on the 2.8 V-6 whereas the 4-cylinder came with standard fuel-injection. For transmissions the 4-sp manual is standard but if you ever go looking for one expect to find the 3-spd automatic in about 95% of them.
This car should be properly defined as a sporty full-sized car. Although it uses a wheelbase 8in shorter than the Caprice and only 3in. longer than a Celebrity, it is still a large car with all the looks of a sporty car. And there is no doubt that these cars could move. The SS model came with a 180hp and would definitely move with great authority despite it's imposing size. All cars come with a 4-spd automatic, except for the base V-6 model, where it is optional. They are all sold as 2-dr coupe's and feature a standard 4.3l V-6 and optional 150-hp 5.0l V-8.
This car is the largest model offered by Chevrolet, unless you want a full-size van or truck. Sold as a 2-dr/4-dr Sedan and 4-dr Wagon and featuring the same engines from the Monte Carlo, these cars were still quite popular at that time. The 2-Dr model was never a big seller and was dropped a few years later and then the whole Caprice line was dropped all-together in 1996 to make way for increased truck/SUV production. This sized car defined the 70's, and anything else smaller than it was considered compact. Now they are seen as a boat that takes up the entire road and suck gas at twice the rate of a modern japanese car. But many people still like these cars, and I still see many of them on the road today despite the fact that they are no longer built anymore. The station wagon was huge and could easily carry 6 people plus cargo in the back.
This car was re-designed in 1982 with more aerodynamic styling and a loss in weight for more power from smaller engines. You could start with a 2.5l 4-cylinder , move up to a 2.8 V-6 and of course to turn your Camaro into a true "Sports Car" a selection of 3 V-8's in different states of tune were also offered. The top-line IROC-Z model came with a 190-hp version of the 5.0l V-8 engine. 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic were available transmissions but certain engines come only with the standard or automatic. The models offered were Sport Coupe, Z28, IROC-Z and Berlinetta.
Considered the ultimate Chevy to own, it was certainly the fastest Chevy you could buy in 1986. With a 350 V-8 and a choice of 4-speed manual or automatic it didn't matter how you ordered a Corvette, they were very fast. The price kept most people hooked on Camaros because the base price on a Corvette was 3 times that of a Camaro and then you had to think about insurance. But you got a well-equipped car: standard ABS, anti-theft system, and a top-line stereo system to go along with great looks and great moves. The only thing about them was that ugly digital instrument cluster with a speedometer that stopped at 85mph. I mean even a Celebrity can go past 85, I've tried it.
