Coupe, sedan? Maybe a Holiday 88?
The 80s full-size cars are coming into their own now, and contrary to popular opinion were some of the best cars GM ever built. You must consider that the cars that gave GM that bad 80s reputation were stuff like Cavaliers, Citations and Chevettes, which were really pretty junky cars. Built cheap, finished cheap and designed to be disposable. Same as GM's earlier entry-market cars, though those cars never had the stigma the later ones did.

I had a 1979 2-door while going to college, after my '68 Toro died. Added the rear sway bar, poly sway bar bushings in front, gas shocks, and Eagle GTs. That car rode and handled real nice. Welcome to the forum!
