Just bought this one owner 1984 Cavalier. Wanted to know if i made a good buy or not. It is all original with 64k miles. I bought it for just under $1100. Purchased from the original owner who bought it new 30 years ago. Here are some pics of it

I'm going to fix it up and get it running really good and smooth and use it as my DD commuter. I wanted something fun and different to drive to work. And the gas milage is good.

Great find and awesome deal in my opinion. Paint, body, and interior looks to be in great shape. Any problems with it running?

It shudders when it's stopped and in gear and my foot is on the brakes. If I do it long enough te check engine light comes on and throws P0300 for random misfire. And code P0174 for system too lean (bank 2). I replaced plugs and wires and still doing it. Not sure what to do next. I'm wondering if it's misfiring because it's to lean. Or running to lean because it's misfiring.
