The Sunbird Coupe Looks Pretty good, as for trading it up to you. You seem to like the coupe body style better so go for it. Is it because you planon making a 1/4 car out of it? I know the HB body style adds quite a bit of complication in regards to fuel cell mounting. Andof course the coupe or sedan body style is a little stiffer to start out with.
I personally have avoided the Sunbird HB's due to the rear tail light panel issues, and I just personally don't like the looks of the Astre Sedans, or the Sunbird Coupe's (but the sunbird coupe looks better to me than the Monza Coupe's). But if you like them go for it. Any mostly solid H-body is a rare find. And you definatly do not see many today. Even if the Sunbird Coupe was the best selling 1980 Pontiac Body Style.
Also I nudged Marco the Moderator on the H-body Site, and posted the Astre's Pictures you posted here there for discussion. I feel it was probably a dealer added graphics package, but with the same year introduction of the Iron Duke engine that is installed in this car, who knows it may be a Promotional Package?
