I'm glad it's as far away from me as can be, because I've always wanted a 2.8/5 speed body cavalier hatch to turbo 3400 swap. That right there is the coolest j body ever built.
That could never run and it would be worth $1,200 to me. Something about '70s through '90s GM, Vauxhall/ Opel Euro styled cars that I like. Ever seen an Opel Monza?
At one point or another, all of the J-cars were offered as a hatch, except Cadillac Cimmeron.
Buick Skyhawk:
Olds Firenza:
Pontiac J2000:
Wagons were offered too across the brands. Cadillac only offered the sedan in the Cimmeron.
They had a pretty sweet exhaust note. A girl used to drive one into my F-I-L's meat market when I worked there 30 years ago. I think dropping a 3.4 in would be cool.

My mother had a silver Pontiac J2000 when I was a kid. That thing was a POS and a real lemon.

Cool looking cars for sure; but what intrigues me most is the casual denim background for the olds.

Yes they did, and if I recall, they went pretty good, too.
I like hatches, but those are ugly. Much prefer the look of the sedan
I rolled a Z24 on the Taconic parkway after a visit to my GF's house on Long Island. I had literally just finished paying for it and dropped the full coverage in an attempt to save some cash to use for books for the upcoming semester at school.
The car had a random quirk- the digital speedometer and odometer, as shown above above, would randomly switch to KMPH and stay that way until I disconnected and reconnected the battery three times.
