My father in-law recently gave me his 1982 gsl-se. he has had the car from 6 miles on. little rust, and one rotor no longer has compression. you could call it a project car. It'll be interesting building the car, since this will be my first project. I look forward to getting some help from everybody.

 

goodluck with it... what motors are on the cards to swap into it? or will you be rebuilding the popped motor?

am i wrong or was the gsl-se option only offered in the years 1984 and 1985

if i am wrong, someone please edumacate me.

 

I haven't got that far. Don't even know what works and what doesn't. I also have to wait till I have the money saved to start the rebuilding process.

 

rmayton has it right

GSL-SE's were only ever made in '84 and '85.. they came with fuel injection (ie: no blue air filter canister above the carb), rear wheel discs, cruise, and a different mag bolt pattern

Check inside the driver's doorframe for some info on the production date of your car. If it still holds to '82, then it's probably just a GSL. Carb'd yes, but rear disc brakes and limited slip differential rear gear box... it's a good car

The motor, if it has no compression in one rotor, *may* or *may not* be rebuildable... but you'll have to take it apart to find out!
