1985 Pontiac Sunbird SE

About This Vehicle:


  
  

This is 1 of only 535 Sunbird SE/GT 1.8 Turbo Hatchbacks made for 1985. I just bought this car in hopes to restore and modify it and to drive it/autocross it while I build my coupe Sunbird. I became fond of the hatchbacks ever since I saw the photos of a yellow J2000 heavily modified. So I purchased this car for $500, it has roughtly 81,000 miles on the 1.8 Turbo/MFI engine. Needs a lot of work!
