- Snowy cold start 1985 Chevrolet celebrity 2.8 2 barrel carburetor v6 like this video give it a big thumbs up an also condenser subscribing thanks for watching stay tuned for more 🛠
My parents bought this car’s twin new in 1985. They drove it until 94 and parked it until I turned 16. I drove it for almost 2 years before I got a truck and sold my celebrity for $400 to a guy that drove it for at least another year, so I know it made it until 1999, with over 230,000 miles.
It leaked everything and sounded like yours but it was pretty reliable considering how it was treated and driven
Wow that's amazing man . Love hearing old stories of these cars an alot people don't even know what they are or anything lol
Sadly I lost his car in a garage fire in about 3 years ago now but on a good note, I actually did find another celebrity is in 87 Eurosport 2.8 has 236,000 miles and it was sitting for about 6 years we're about it and I bought it from the original owner
You should definitely check out the video is on my channel of what the car looks like before and after but I do miss my 85 I had
My dad had this car since 90s.
+Irineo Luna oh yeah what did he do with it and there's not many left of these anymore on the road most of the ones I see have the 4-cylinder not the V6 like I have
I loved my '88....bulletproof drivetrains....bodies would go before engine did...i sold mine with 188k and guy insold it to ran it to 350k before he sold it...
Hell yeah man . I love these old vehicles and this one meant alot . To me
Love that engine sound, like the Cutlass and the early 90s Cavaliers.
Yes me and you both I love these vehicles and the engines in them 2.8 . Sadly I don't own this car my garage caught fire about year or so ago really sucks that car meant alot . I'm trying my hardest to find another one or something very similar to it cause there is alot vehicles just like the celebritys out there . Go check out my latest video of a car I might end up buying 🤞. Subscribe so don't miss a upload
Not like the Cutlass I grew up in and drove in high school...
VERY AWESOME 1985 CHEVY CELEBRITY!!!
Thank you I loved that car but check out my channel and you'll see what happened to the car a year ago 😥😥 I lost the car in a garage fire
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 OH, I AM SO TOTALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT.
Im disapointed the tach wasnt hooked up. I'd love to see that idle bouncing all over the place!
Lordstown came a long way!
Will C ik If you go check out my other videos of this car on my channel you'll see the tac move
Thats is one beautifull car💪💪💪
Thank you it sure was I miss that car so bad
Wonder if you still have this, i bought one from a mechanic but it made 120 miles before (he says) the distributer burned out, 4 distributers later he can't figure out why it keeps burning out. Have you had any experience with this?
Squirrel Fish yes I do still own it that's my babe lol and I'll be making more videos of the car but seriously I haven't or not sure why it's burning them out I've never had that problem but could or sounds like you have I wanna say a bad ground to the distributor somewhere something like that but I've never had any problems like the distributor burning out like that only problem I've had is the O-ring go bad and I replaced it which just made a big mess oil leak that's all but what exactly do u mean by burn out like the hole thing burnt like melt from fire or heat or like doesn't put out spark anymore and the car cut off
Christian Leatherman It was a term the mechanic used but he didn't elaborate.
He replaced the spark plugs 3 (or four) times and now it needs new spark plug wires for the second time. But she lives again the last two times it died out around 120 miles, this time it was test driven a little less than that and idled for half a gas tank. haha.
But it seems to live (knock on wood!)
My mechanic asked an older mechanic about the problem and was told that there were two alternators for that car and was told the color was wrong (blue instead of black or vice versa) Am afraid to check it as I don't want to jinx her before the 120 mark.
It did die with a click as I turned left 5 blocks after taking her away but she started again immediately and hasn't faught me since.
I'm not sure what the mechanic did but now the steering wheel is loose and can rock in a turn almost three inches before she turns and it grinds on a tight corner. Time to tinker. But it lives!
My parent's had a 1985 Celebrity Wagon in 1986 bought at Ferman Chevrolet as a demonstrator (2100 miles) ..It was white with blue cloth..Was not the upgraded model like you have here though..but I don't recall it sounding at all like yours does!! 2.8 Engine..guess it was carb..don't remember.. It sure smoothed out....Just heard you say the CATS were gutted and cherry pack...guess that explains the sound!! haha...Enjoy your vintage Chevy! Wish I had our old one but I think it caught on fire (clogged cat) down in Miami on I-95...
Oh yeah the engine was carbureted 2.8
5:31 Yes, I have three of these "old reliable" C.C. sedans (an '85, an '86, and an '89) and I love 'em! Good basic transportation to get you from Point A to Point B and back again... oh, they sometimes cough and sputter a lot, and are often in the garage to be worked on, but at least I always seem to make it back home again. Well, you know what they say --- "A GM car will KEEP RUNNING POORLY long after other brands of cars have STOPPED RUNNING ALTOGETHER". :D
Heck yeah man!! . I love these cars and I miss mine really bad wish still had the car but my grauge cought fire and it burned the car ti nothing. I tryed to save the car but couldn't in time . Ever since that happened I been trying to find another chevy celebrity with 2.8v6 carbureted or fuel injection or the 3.1v6 I definitely don't want the 2.54cyl at all cause 90hp isn't good enough. I almost owned a 88 celebrity 2.8 ho whitch is the high output 2.8v6 was the eurosport version very very rare to have , only for $425 the day I went to meet to buy it they changed their minds on me and made excuses about why they didn't wanna sell it butt . The car definitely needed work like fuel pump and a good bath and tune up and all the goods . The paint was gone but the interior was mint and had bucket seats 4speed automatic overdrive. Was loaded car and very nice . Let's say I was very upset wasting time to get the cash and meet up with them and they change their minds on me .
You are very lucky to own 3 lol . Butt I did find a 88 oldsmobile cutlass ciera 2.8v6 I just bought it for $400 needs some work but runs and drives only 44,000 miles the car is on my channel check it out if u wanna see it and more stuff coming on the car soon!!!
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Yes, and I also had one of these OCCs (an '89; my first car, actually; it's a "sister car" to the CC, along with the Buick Century and Pontiac 6000; all four models share the same Hanes repair manual) before these three CCs; I liked it okay, but it didn't have the delightful "angled and sculpted spokes" steering wheel like the CC and many other older Chevy sedans/station-wagons (plus the snub-nosed "Chevy Van" and LUV pickup) did.
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Yeah I know all about how THAT feels --- so many people don;t seem to realize and/or respect that someone's time and gas are of value. You could look on cars.com and other used-vehicle websites; often, good used Chevy Celebrities are listed for sale there.
@@Quacks0 yeah oh I know ha theres so many vehicles that use about same everything as the celebritys . Body and frame , engines , trans and wheels tires and suspension everything interior too . I love it cause helps for parts but yeah really does and makes you mad more than anything thinking about getting the car or whatever and the person back out on the day of owning the car haven cash in hand . Ha their excuse was their grandson wanted it and was gonna have the car and was crying over it . When the dang kid is like 8 years old if that and I'm like seriously you gotta be kidding me man the kid isn't probably even gonna want the car by the time he can drive and the car probably won't be any good by that time anyway if it still sits and he might even change his mind by that time to cuz the kids is only 8 years old he doesn't know what he wants soo that's bs . I let them have it on the phone lol . All they said I'm sorry and I'm like yeaa me too wasting my time for nothing . I wanted that car so bad cause it was the eurosport celebrity suppsed to be top of the line car back then . I was pissed plus the person lived like 40 min away too
Awesome Car
Thanks
My favorite Chevy
Thanks it was most definitely something to me I miss that car so bad . Unfortunately I lost this car in a garage fire 😔 . The video is on my channel if u wanna see
CD'S Automotive & Repair you can put sound play the beats jamming 🔊
Hey there! I need your help. My car won't start. We replaced the starter and battery. I'm getting gas and spark. I just replaced the ignition coil. Do you know what else to check for or replace? I deleted my channel on my car because I wasn't doing videos anymore on her. Oh it's my 1985 Chevrolet Celebrity 2.8 L 2 B.B 6 cylinder
Yeah That one is carbureted 2.8 .
Does it turn over at all ?
Yes 2.8 carburetor how to check if carburetor is turning
It turns over duh me. It just won't crank
Hmm if u have fuel an spark it should kick off
I'm also selling her. I need the money for an engine for our 2008 honda odyssey ex-l. I used to love my car really bad. Now I'm getting frustrated.
Yep, da good ol' Iron Duke throaty rumble ;)
Quacks0 yes it sounds really good but mine isn't the 2.5 iron Duke that is a 4 cylinder mine had the 2.8 2 barrel carbureted v6
Ahhhh okayyyy... well, I didn't know da difference 'cuz I'm not knowledgeable about cars; I'd just heard a couple of random dudes refer to a Chevy Celebrity's engine as that, so I'd naturally *assumed* (never a good idea 'cuz it makes a "you-know-what outta u and me" :P) that it applied to all da engines used in the C.C. series. Thanks for enlightening me about that. Well, anyhoot, I really love the C.C.'s angle-sculpted-spokes steering wheel that accommodates my fibromyalgia (it lets me just rest my hand on the wheel-spoke instead of having to arduously hold my arms up to grip the wheel-rim itself, and so I avoid the "fingers feeling like claws" pain and numbness that I'd suffered previously with a less-compatible wheel on my first car [an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, one of the three GM "sister cars" to the Celebrity; the other two were the Buick Century and the Pontiac 6000], and so I can now drive for many hours in much better comfort. Whoever the genius was who invented that wonderful handsome ergonomically-friendly steering wheel design back in the mid-70's, I'd like to shake his hand!), so I was really glad to have discovered this model of car; it shares this steering wheel design with a lot of other Chevy vehicles in the '70s and '80s. Plus I was actually fortunate enough to find *three of these* now-super-rare lovely "plain Jane" sedans --- a blue one with an EFI 2.5L 4-banger "Iron Duke" (1989), a gray one with a carbureted 2.8L V6 (1986), and a similarly-powered white one (1985). I love 'em all, and I try to keep them all on the road at one time; that way, if one breaks down, I can always have the other two to fall back on till it's repaired, plus of course the gray and white cars have more powerful engines that can pull a heavier load on my little utility-trailer than my less-fuel-thirsty blue 4-cylinder car can. Peace, out. Thanks again, and good health to you and yours! :D
Quacks0 yes they are really good cars and I really miss mine I just lost mine because of my garage fire that just happened there wasn't anything left it had been in the family for years since 87 and I ended up with the car from my grandma I had it for about 6 years or so and i was redoing the car . Like things it needed and other things to finish the car everything was just about finished I was putting it in the road and then the garage caught fire I lost everything I'm really glad to hear u have 3 of them . They are so hard to find now days especially the Eurosport celebrity they were the top of the line back then . They had the biggest v6 u could get and upgraded suspension and interior . If I ever find another one I will definitely buy the car . But like I said you are very lucky to find one but have 3 that's awesome thanks for watching and sharing don't forget to smash that subscribe button for more videos like this and stay updated with repair videos and with the celebrity if I do find another one .
So sorry to hear about the fire --- how did it start (I'm just curiously asking, so that hopefully I can be careful to avoid the same mistake...)?
Was working on a vehicle and dropping a gas tank and had a kerosene heater next to it and lit everything up in flams
I had a Chev Celeb, it was fuel injection, couldn't flood the engine no matter how I tried. eventually donated it to the Salvation Army.
Ha oh yeah hell yeah. But this one was carbureted 2.8
I had one. Same year, same model. Bought it in 89, then only 4 years old with 35k miles. Piece of garbage. Overheated and stranded me on the highway (no cell phones back then) in the first week I owned it. Fought with it for about a year and a half then gave up on it and dumped it while I still owed money on it. Bought a Honda Civic, got out of debt, drove that for a decade and sold it for good money. Actually did go back to Chevy after that believe it or not, 98 Lumina, which was a very reliable car. But 80s GM products were PsOS.
I own a 87 Chevy celebrity eurosport 2.8 , need to check that out , and I just bought a 89 Chevy celebrity 2.54cyl auto 255,000 miles it will be on my channel too soon . Check them out
Main thing is could have been a Limon or something else causing issues or mechanic took it top wasn't knowing what he was doing . These cars are really good never had problems and that later on model Lumina u bought is same set up as the old chevy celebrity u had just some things chnaged
CD'S Automotive Garage I’m not a mechanic, you’d know better than I, but I think the 98 Lumina was quite different than the mid80s Celebrity. The Lumina had a 3.1 V6 versus the Celebrity’s 2.8. And as you mentioned, the Celebrity was carbureted, while the Lumina was EFI. And the Lumina was super reliable. Really never left me hanging. I had three transmissions in the Celebrity in two years. I put 140k trouble free miles on the Lumina and then gave the car to a friend who put another 40k on it and then sold it.
I meant as like the engines and body underneath are the same . 82-90 all celebritys was the same and last year's of the celebrity had the 3.1v6 in them and then they changed to making a chevy Lumina and they had same engines 2.8 but yes fuel injection but u could take it apart and swap to carb or fuel injection they are same blocks and same goes for 3.1 and 3.3 and 3.4 .
Basically they went to making the chevy Lumina in 91 and later on changed things along the years butt basically the same platform as a celebrity and alot other 80s 90s cars
The Pontiac 6000 , Buick Skylark , Buick Century , Chevrolet Beretta , Oldsmobile cutlass ceria , chevy celebrity , Chevy Lumina , and alot more . They all basically are same just certain things are different or engines too and trans on certain year's
I had a brown one in ‘98
I wish I could figure out what was wrong with my 1989 chevy celebrity 2.8 v6 I replaced every electrical part on the engine some even twice and the battery twice except for the fuel injectors but it used to start up every time then die when it got hot now it just starts and dies in 3 seconds
JohnTaylor Pelletier what exactly have you replaced and have you checked for fuel pressure or fuel pump or have you changed the fuel filter I will check things like that and see what's going on there
CD'S repairs and automotive I'll just list off all the parts, so I changed the map sensor, ECM, throttle position sensor, idle air control valve, temperature coolant sensor, fuel tank fuel filter and fuel pump, battery twice and coil packs 3 times and the coil pack module, I ran a new ground wire from the battery, crank shaft position sensor as well and the EGR valve as well and I'm still having problems I replaced just about everything I heard goes wrong with these cars and had to automatic who build these cars in chevy factory in the 80's look at it and have had no luck so far it did sit for 5 years before I started working it her don't know if that helps
Acabo de comprar un celebrity año 1986 con 43.800 mllas esta como nuevo
Not to many of these left, I have yet to see one of them in person
I've seen a few down here but sadly u need to see my last video of this car 😥 . I no longer have that beautiful car I lost in my garage fire last year , it's on my channel if wanna see it or I can post the link to here . But I'm trying my damest to find another chevy celebrity really bad or something very very close to the car as in how it's built and body style cause there is serval vehicles that are the same as the celebritys inside and engine and trans and body too
CD'S Automotive & Repair I saw the video, it was hard to watch
@@Underappreciatedclassics yeah very pissed and it took 15 min for the fire department to get to my house and by that time . Just wasn't a thing left . I have a video of a vehicle I possibly might buy 88 oldsmobile cutlass ciera 2.8v6 check it out . If the deal comes through I'll definitely have a update. But nothing will ever replace what I had with my car I had meant alot to many memories . I was taught how to drive in that car to
Choke isn't working properly...it should have gone into fast idle as soon as she fired. The black smoke is from incompletely burnt fuel being blown out the tailpipe.
Brian Jacob no the that car had bad valve guide seals which found out the spark plugs and would cause the car to do what exactly it did in the video I've owned that car for years it's always down that it does not smoke or burn anything except when it first starts up and it only does it like this when it's very cold outside on winter time month's never any other time the carburetor was fine . But thanks for watching stay tuned for more
Sounds like a plugged Cat convertor
Chris Lemaster no the cat had been gutted already it sounds like that because of bad valve seals and it has to burn the oil off the plugs before it clears up
see the USA in your chevrolet
Hell yeah buddy u bet man lol
give me that car I'll have it running like a top no problem.
