not sure lad, been tryin to find out if its an original.. didn't get any history with it but it was a 2.3 on the original logbook and the only 2.3 chevettes ever made were the hs or the hsr! i'd like ta find out a bit of history bout it, be worth a lot more if its genuine!!

serious:D if its not a hsr itd be a hs alright being 2.3 on book, be worth more if it still had the 2.3, but feck that, cars are for driving, and a redtop would drive way nicer than one of those old pig iron slant engines, any engine bay pics? std redtop or on carbs? i think i have a set of chevette hs wheels here actually:D

Lovely car........ Savage clean lookin. Bit of an Opel/Vauxhall head meself..
Have a Cavalier Turbo in the shed at home here, needs the head gasket doin.
Hope to have it back on the road soon but i've been sayin that for a long time too!
If i could get my "resident mechanic" ( he's on here and knows who he is :p) to get his finger out and get the head off it then it'd be a start!

Aaaanyway, well ware lad, do ya drive it much?
