Nice buy CtMandu. The wood accents in the red interior make me wonder if it has a rear swaybar?
In the US I think only the LS level I-Marks did but I'm not sure about the Buick/Opel by Isuzu
If not you can snag one from an early Impulse.
Mr Jerry knows.
He improved a Coupe for his dau to take to school back in the day.
(BTW Jerry, TYVM for sharing your knowledge & time so generously)
Sold around the world under about 40 different names, the T-body began life from Isuzu which GM had a controlling interest in at the time (1975). In Japan it was the Isuzu Gemini and could be had with our familiar crossflow G180Z or a DOHC 1.8 G180W(note the rear deck spoiler on the sedans & the hood vents)

The GMHolden Gemini was Car of the year in Australia that year available in Coupe, Sedan, wagon, & panelvan. In Oz it was powered by either the 1.8 diesel or 1.6/G160Z. The 1.6 heads have more room for performance gaining port work - Darren of Gemracing just ran a 9.01/146.9 in a 1.8 powered Gem sedan.
Unfortunately his next run went bad taking a hard left at 1/2 track but still managed to clock 11secs sliding across the line on his roof!

http://www.ozgemini.com/forums/non-tech ... hp?t=29742Known as the Opel Kadett & Vauxhall Chevette in Europe there were sedan & estate body styles (3 door hatchbacks, 2 & 4 door wagons, & a 2 door sedan)
There was also a rare "aero" style

Known in S Korea as the Daewoo Maepsy it was configured similarly to the NA badged Buick/Opel by Isuzu (1975? - 1979?), Pontiac T1000 (US) or Acadian(Canada) (not sure about motivation on these), & the Isuzu I-Mark(US) (1.8 gas or diesel from 81 thru 84 1/2) 2 door Coupe or 4 door sedan. The Chevy Chevette in US could be 3 door or 5 door (1.6 gas/1.8 diesel)(not sure about Brazilian Chevette power).
We never got turbo option in US due to interference with the steering linkage being LHD
If I forgot anybody sorry but understandable.
