Casey Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 They actually did but it was the formula version That was the H-body Sunbird which preceded and was totally different from the front wheel drive '81+ J-bodies. Unfortunately, MPC never updated their '81-'83 Chevy Cavalier kits when the late first gens were restyled, so that's the end of the line.

Joe Handley Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Why not use that Doberton J-2000 Pro Street for an earlier J-Body Sunbird? It would at least have the right nose and tail to convert a Cavilier over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 They actually did but it was the formula version I had this kit as a kid. Pretty cool, but I'm not sure how I destroyed it. I still have the wing and the engine block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Heh, we never got the Sunbird in australia, but GM did use the name as a trim level on their base model Holden Torana. My sister had a four cylinder Torana Sunbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nxr Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) The sunbird seems a lot like the last toronado generation which, i have never ever seen in person. I have seen so many toronados from 60's and 70's but never this one! and its 86-92 or so, judging by the old A-class Mercedes on the left this one is probably somewhere in Germany, Finland or Holland.

MsDano85gt Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 my friends older brother had had 2 of those late 80's early 90's olds toronados one of them was the decked out top of the line luxary "trofeo" edition..... the other was a all blacked out car rather sinister especially when his mechenic brother bolted up one of those superchargers from the gran prix's to the 3.8 3800 v6 that car would flyyyyyyyy!!
