The ad said " It's best to see car in person."

I don't think I could handle that!

If this doesn't testify to the toughness and robustness of a 1st Gen, well I don't know what would!


uuuuummmph....I think I may have nightmares tonight!

Hello everyone,

I am new here and just started looking for a hatchback. I live in CA and figured they would be easy to find here but so far no luck. I had an 84' or 85' Type 10 that I bought used in 1986. We kept it until 1990 when my wife got a company car and we no longer needed it. I wish we had hung onto it. So the search continues.

In my search however this one came up today not far from where I live. Looks decent and the price seems right.

If anyone has any leads on a hatchback please let me know.

Kevin

Of all the air filter boxes I've seen in GM's that is the ugliest and worst one they used, and that stupid T exhaust header is also junk. Wish GM should have stuck with the earlier 4-1 header design for the 2.0's till the 2.2's in 1990. Does anybody happen to know if the older 4-1 header would bolt up in place of the T one?

Nope, I already tried it. the bolt placement on the head is different. The 4 into 1 is vertical and the t header is offset.

What... the hell :|
I've never seen such a beast before.

Reading on, anyone read about the 89 they have for sale that's beside the car?

Also have a 1989 cavalier 2 door hardtop that I bought on Ebay 7/11 from an

estate.It had ac and I've come to the conclusion that she is haunted possessed by

a ghost or just doesn't like me. One problem is I've had to have rotors turned

twice within 120 miles. Brake line blew out. and a whole lot more. I'm the type

that believes very little of ghost stories are true. The prior owner only had the

one car. About two weeks after she died, the house caught on fire and thats when

the family found out she had died. I had to get a new ignition key made as the

original key damaged in the fire. I will soon be putting the 1989 cavalier on

ebay.


LOL..
Still, for $200 I'd buy it. (Goes for the haunted 89 too )
Where I live $200 only gives you a rotten cavalier with little to no good parts left on it.
