At $10,000, Would You Race To Buy This 1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo?

Key Points:

• The 1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo, a rare and tiny hot hatch with a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine producing 70 horsepower, is currently for sale at $10,000 after a claimed restoration in 2012.
• Originally built by Suzuki and sold under various names globally, the Sprint Turbo is notable for its fuel economy, manual transmission, and unique 1980s styling, including red rainbow cloth upholstery and a sporty interior.
• Despite its rarity and award-winning restoration, the asking price is about 30% higher than its original new-car price, raising questions about its value compared to modern small cars with more powerful three-cylinder engines.
• The car has 50,000 miles, working air conditioning, and features like a rear hatch spoiler and electric hatch lift, making it a functional classic rather than a static museum piece.
• Potential buyers are invited to weigh in on whether the Sprint’s condition and rarity justify its price or if it is overpriced in today’s market.
