Please do share your '82 Cavalier!! 1st year 1st gens are a real treat to see!! I see you even have the 1.8 OHV!!
I always thought it was interesting that GM bored and stroked the 1.8 OHV to 2.0 OHV because of complaints of the lack of power , then followed it with the 1.8 Brazil OHC which had 4 Hp less than the 1.8 OHV to start with! Silly GM!!

Thanks Pierre!! Gee Whiz!! 3 of 'em WOW...
It has been a real treat seeing your J's!! :-)
I've got a few 2 headlight 1st gens in my local junkyard, been so , so long since I've seen one on the road here tho. It is awful blurry, is that a CL on the black hatch fender . Are both hatchbacks Type 10's ? They were the Z's of their day.
You black hatch sure is a sweet machine!! It is great knowing there are cars like yours still on the road!!
How this for front page sharing! I literally in all my junkyarding never see anything later than 84 but more so 86 up(sigh no 85s). That is rare car to see and still kicking kudos.
