Thanks for watching
I have a spare set of headlights that are less bad, but still rock chipped...I'd give em to ya for shipping cost. As for your Speedometer, its functioning correctly. When the dashboard was facelifted in 1987, they also updated the electronics to match up with the new MPFI 2.8L engine, so the speedometer is actually a VSS sensor and just a gauge instead of a speedometer drive gear, and cable going into the back of the cluster. That's why it jumps to attention with the key on. As for the lights, burned out bulbs. The MAF sensors on these are worthless, most were disabled by dealers at a later point. Look for the MAP sensor, and check to make sure it's getting good vacuum and works. It will be either on the back side of the intake, or hiding on the firewall behind the right side strut tower. It has both MAF and MAP. Both need to be working. The transmission is tired, but it'll work for awhile. Change the fluid, dump some lucas trans gum in with the new fluid and it'll buy you time.
Hmm any way can send me pictures of them on Facebook so could see them ? . Yeah okay good to know that the cluster is good and so far now it's been working good . yes the mass air flow sensors are notorious on these vehicles I cleaned it really good and it's been perfect and the throttle body and throttle position sensor just went out right after the video the next day and so I replaced both of them and now the vehicle shifts so much better and idles and gets up and goes way better now . The throttle body had bad play in the shaft and the sensor was causing my idle to be at 3,000 rpm and not come down and causing my trans to slam or shift werid. So now it's prefect like it should be
Yeah I'll check the map sensor to make sure that's good too . I had to replace the cradle bushing on passenger side it was gone completely so that's why I had so much under steer and wasn't handling right , so i replaced that with a junkyard one so it's all good now and so far my front end alignment is good now . Umm yeah the trans fluid is dirty looking um also one side of the dip stick shows the fluid is low and other side showes full and I've never ever seen that before on any vehicles I've worked on so is it really low or full ? That's werid to me .
Chrome dont get you home! I like these old gm cars though. Good video.
Lol yeah these cars are very addicting and I can't own enough of them . I have a hole back yard to fill if need too
I’m the kind of person that actually appreciates these types of cars, you don’t see them much anymore, I want to see if I can find one myself, I like the buzzer too, it’s like the one in the late 90s Silverados.
Yeah I love these cars so sad seeing them junked or people junking them cause they give up over a older car .
I had a 89 top it's on my channel but I just sold it I just couldnt keep 2 of them an I'll never sell my eurosport
Chevy Celebrity. Best vehicle Ive Ever owned.
Yes they are and very sad not many left anymore and very hard to get an find parts
I had one too
Go ahead. Nice car, looks very clean, a god paint job, and bring her back to old glory days. I had one, Bogota, Colombia, fun to drive, plenty of power, with a V6 2.8, with original Varajet Carburator, manual 4 speed trans, 1984 four door unit. The best of the 80`s pretty much uderrated here.
Yeah theirs more videos of the car . But yeah alot has changed since this video of the car an still more I'm doing as we speak lol

Looking even better! Painting the plenum made a big difference!👍
Thanks , oh yes for sure it definitely did and when i open the hood that's first thing that catches my eye.
Awesome celebrity glad you got another one!
Thanks , it's been one car to fight me butt I love it , hate the laid looks bad but I'll fix that eventually. Just so glad I found another one and can't believe it's a eurosport.
I bought a 89 Chevrolet celebrity it's on my channel as well

Also, run this engine for awhile, run it till it craps out. While you use it, go find yourself the identical looking MPFI 3.1L from any other car that has it. Doesn't even have to be a Celebrity. When this engine breaks, it's a drop in plug and play upgrade! It's actually not that hard to replace the engines in these. Less work then doing the timing chain in chassis. Any news parts you install on this engine can be used on your new and more powerful 3.1L upgrade. Very win win. I'm looking for a very low miles 3.1L for my own Eurosport, and you know how mine is.
Yeah i love to find a good 3.1 for it very hard to find tho too with low miles and good shape . I could have another 2.8 like i have with lower miles butt idk anything about engine so I'm not gonna waste time even trying to buy it cause can't i hear it run .
Glad you found another Celebrity
Thanks!
Yeah me too man and it looks rough now but it will get there eventually .
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 at least you got a newer one. I like the looks of the newer style better. The tail lights and flush headlights look better with the smaller grille. You should get the celebrity badges for the front fenders like your 85 had and maybe go back to the chrome wheel covers after its done so it has a bit of the 84- 86 style. But overall I'm happy you found one! They're not so easy to come by anymore. Can't wait to see it restored bet you'll have the nicest one around once its done
Yeah i do too the 87-90 Looks so different . I like the 82-85 too and the 86 model but my favorite is the 85 model I had that I lost it was beautiful and blue .
I have the old Chevrolet and Celebrity emblems off of my car I had they wasn't on the car so I got to save them . Butt since mine is a eurosport those are bigger in size and they are supposed to be red so gonna be hard to find them .
Also yea the fenders are suppsed to have 2.8v6 emblems on them and im missing those
If i can find another celebrity I will try my best to get my hands on it lol . I have one already that's a customer's it's a 89 model and might get some video of the car I've been trying to buy it and it's kinda rough and has high miles 255,000 2.54cyl 3speed auto . But needs some work so try best to get something of the car soon.
I use to own a 1985 chevy celebrity wagon which was the best car i ever owned, had the car for 6 years which i put over 200,000 it was a very reliable car until the end the car rusted out from under carage ti sides and back.
Wow yeah that's sad that rusted away like that . I hear that alot in certain areas that have had these cars an probably would have kept going if it wasn't for the rust luckily mine isn't too bad and I caught it in time .
I have this car but it 1989, engine stalls at some point, tryed almost everything, now radiator cap started leaking, and i see that radiator tubes are clogged, that may be the problem, trying to restore it like you, car is sitting, even OBD-1 cable with software shows no error codes, only RPM drop from 1000 to 750-650, done many things, but 4-5 years of self searching no luck, there are many others on the internet who have similar o the same problems, but not many are solved.
So u have one like mine ? And everything is same .
Yeah alot has changed tho since this video and much more done to the car , trying to get a update soon at some point.
@dragonas243 How are your ground wires?
Did you do any video's on taking the alternator off??
No but however my alt is going out so when I replace it might record the process. It's very easy to remove it
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 What did you use to get the bolt out in the back, toward the firewall??
@@SiCkDiAbLo 13mm ratcheting wrench
I actually like the front end of the 85-86 better than the newer ones. My Dad said his had the big 6. Was the 2.8 FI
Yeah I thought about changing the front clip to a 85 model if I ever found one an or in good condition but dought I ever would .
Yeah i wish this one had the HO 2.8 but those are rare I seen one at junkyard . This engine in this car is tired an was definitely neglected for oil changes very so much buildup on the inside of the valve cover an high miles . Compared to my 90 Lumina 3.1 the inside of it is like bran new I've never ever seen one so dang clean like that one .
More than likely I believe I'm going to pull the drivetrain completely out of the Lumina and keep it for my celebrity . An then maybe scrap the Lumina or part it out an then scrap it but that decision is very hard because it drives and handles so much better plus it has power Windows an more room on inside lol these cars are so addicting it's unreal
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 keep the celebrity more rarer
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 yeah it would look sweet with the 85 front clip painted black with the lumina drivetrain in it! Would truly be one of a kind and it would be your Celebrity better than ever brought back
Yeah I definitely want to go all out and paint the 3.1 engine block before it was to go into the celeb an the trans too but not sure I was thinking chevy blue for the 3.1 an black for the transmission .
It sucks after all that work the transmission slips in the celeb from 1st to 2nd gear when hot especially so it's a good thing I really have a good engine and transmission out of another vehicle to use . Very hard to find these styles anymore all I see now is 3100 an 3400 an 3800
Don't chrome the trim for all that is holy.... Eurosports had all the trim blacked out on purpose, EXCEPT the front and rear bumpers(though they too were adorned with black rubber cladding strips); Chrome just didn't fit the more-aggressive character appearance that Eurosports were meant to impart. The old-man non-Eurosport Celebrity CL package gave you a bunch of the chrome trim you seek. Yes Celebrity Eurosports cars were NOT high-performance by any stretch of the imagination, although the suspension, rim/tire set-up did offer fairly competent grip at the limit while damping unwanted body roll to a minimum(without bone-jarring stiffness). This at least resulted in a mid-sized car that was fun to toss around, and with the more-aggressive exhaust note from the single pipe exhaust exiting thru a dual-tipped muffler; the MPFI 2.8 V6 had a rich, deep, throaty sound that was unmatched in the industry by competitors. I'm sure plenty of people remember the unique sound of 1980's/early 90's GM 60 degree V6's- they really sounded like they would just rip if you mashed the throttle; but again, the exhaust note was misleading, as 135hp wasn't exactly in Hellcat territory... One more thing- Celebrity Eurosport CL interiors were covered in this plush velour that looked and felt rather expensive. All Celebrity's in CL trim got this Velour interior- and it really was all that. I have fond memories of these- my dad leased an 86' Eurosport CL completely loaded with every option for 4 years. This 86' had the 2.8 MPFI H.O., and the only trouble it ever had was in the first 6 months of ownership: the fuel injection would cause the car to stall at idle sometimes: the dealer couldn't find anything really wrong, but did replace the ECU, fuel pump, and the fuel injectors. Problem persisted, and GM had a regional rep get involved. The determination was 87 octane wasn't great for this particular setup, and the solution was to use premium fuel 92 oct or higher... The car never got a drop of anything other than Mobil 93 octane after that diagnosis, and likewise the car never stalled ever again. I was busting your balls about chroming the blacked-out trim; carry on.
I have a 85 celebrity I'm working on now
That's awesome , I want another 85 model again but can't find one here an I was lucky to find this one
Nobody has any interest in these no more, and it’s a crying shame, people would rather fix up a civic! Thank God for people like you, how is she doing?
Thanks man an I just uploaded a update in her . I'll leave the link below an subscribe so don't miss anything

So where are the air bags located??
There isn't air bags on these cars none of then had them . 80-90
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Yeah, I know. It was a joke! LOL
i have the same floor mats lol
Yeah these Matt's are hard to find now . I believe it was the junkyard is where I picked them up from
I pulled a old ✏️ pencil out of one of these
I have one a 1987 with 116k it was owned by a old lady it has 0 rust always garage kept. I’ll post a video this weekend
Mines a 2.8 2 door automatic
Mine also has red velvet interior
Awesome find and such low mileage and a 2 door . Is it the eurosport ? And yea like see what looks like and how it runs
CD'S Automotive Garage sadly it’s not a Eurosport
CD'S Automotive Garage I wish I could send you a pic of the car to show you how amazing it is
How many miles it has?
235k
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 thank you for replying
Eurosport's are suppose to have black trim and black door handles, otherwise it's just a plain Celebrity. Only thing I see unoriginal is the wheels, they're Olds wheels.
These are the original Wheels , some came with them . Depends on the package when was ordered
Weird, I’ve ever only seen two styles come with the Celebrity Euros and they were the five star steel rally wheels and the 5 star aluminum wheels.
Yeah mine is a low package eurosport. Only options is the black trim an 2.8 an 4 speed auto . An console shift an power door locks .
But it doesn't have power windows or rear defrost an or the gauges for volt an temp I had to install another cluster just to have that . Doesn't have power seat either.
Really sucks really wanted a loaded one butt can't find them

Bro cleveland craigslist cars has a chevy celebrity with 42000 original miles solid and claims it's reliable and runs great for I believe little over a thousand bucks. It's a light blue color, guessing an 87 to 89 model. Figured I'd tell you man.
