Awesome car! One surprise on the build sheet ....No G80 limited slip rear.
A local wrecking yard had three 1980's about 30 years back. The factory 14 x 6 wheels were a little different offset and would accept the 14 x 7 inch trim rings from a Camaro where as the same wheel from a Monte Carlo or non 9C1 would not. I was lucky to score on a trade 5 of the wheels (without trim or the BF Goodrich Police Pursuit TA's) and the Dash cluster with the speedometer for my 79 Monte Carlo.
Had a 9C1 fanatic friend who worked at a local high volume Chevy dealership that had the center caps on the shelf. Ran this set up for a few years for winter.

Yes, the round keys works the doors, trunk and ignition
I switched my door locks to the same as the square ignition key ten or more years ago because I don't like two keys, but never did anything with the glovebox lock. I have been contemplating switching over to the newer double edged chip type key for all, and being ready in case I ever go computer ECM.
