pretty close to what i had without the tail and back/side louvered windows.

i wanted the yellow 73 karmann ghia but my father wanted me to have something more substantial. my fiat spider incident proved him right.

According to Wikipedia:

The J platform was a designation used for two automobile platforms from Chrysler Corporation in the 1980s.

The first was a rear-wheel drive platform, in production from 1980. It was very similar to the 4-door Chrysler F platform and Chrysler M platform, which were based on the Chrysler A platform.
But that wasn't related to my car. As Wikipedia goes on to say:
A second, unrelated, J platform, this time a variant of the front-wheel drive K platform, arrived in 1987 with the introduction of the new Chrysler LeBaron coupe and convertible. This platform remained in production until 1995.
I think my J2000 was one of these second, unrelated, J platform vehicles, under the Pontiac brand.

It was a crappy car for sure, but served me well, and kept running through years and years of abuse and neglect. I had many good times in that car, including several east coast Dead tours. It was finally stolen in Providence RI and recovered a week or so later only several blocks from my apartment. Probably some kids out for a joy ride. The insurance company, on inspection, declared it "totaled". But the truth was, except for a broken window, the car was in about the same shape it had been in when stolen.

I've never owned another car.
