Replacing my 1984 Chevy Citation X-11 conversion which Ivan decide to cover in water just below the roof, which I searched for a real X-11 to replace my former baby after a brief ownership of a '90 Buick Regal GS.

These pictures come from the last owner, which the car is rough but restorable. Replacement bucket seats and carpet will work nice.

Drove from about hour below Tampa, FL all the way from Pittsburgh, PA via two stops which lengthed the trip. The only issues I had were the Throttle Position Sensor stopped working right and fuel pump/gunk in the 16 Gallon gas tank (stock is 15), but through two good friends on the way up the coast - the car runs GREAT! Had to fill up the power steering pump, replace/clean the blower motor, and replace the old alt belt, but she is still getting use to the cold and daily use.

Plan to replace the old resonator and junky muffler with a high flow cat and turbo muffler next week. Did not silencer at all and has a throaty sound during acceleration.

A few modifications that are planned:

1). MSD Coil, Distributor, and Rotor. [DONE]
2). K&N Cone Filter. [DONE]
3). New Shocks, Struts, and Springs for the 1 1/2 inch lowering in front and 1 inch in the back.
4). XM/Cd changer/MP3 player replacement plus better speakers.
5). Bumper fillers.
6). trunk interior [Found black in lccal junkyard].
7). New front turn signal light. Gawd bless ebay!

Nice ride! Citation were good cars back in the days, don't see too many out here anymore like I did. when I was in 8th grade in 00', one of my teachers had a brown standard one, i can tell it was standard, it had the original hubcaps on it. You should try to see if you can get a X-11 decal on the side for it. Like that old school sony deck, cool! Keep me posted! Check out my ride and vote!!
