I would instantly hack it up. Fender flares with some super-turbine/daytona wheels and sticky tires, drop it low, and K-swap it.

While that headline might seem like an oxymoron to some, hear us out for this one.
Showing just 47 miles on the odometer (no, that’s not a typo), this Chevette very well could be one of the cleanest examples on the market.
Also included in the sale? The original window sticker plus a few promotional items from the period.
Find this 1987 Chevrolet Chevette CS Hatchback for auction from Mecum on January 15.

In that era, I'd take "K-swap" as meaning the Chrysler 2.2 turbo :) Although you could do better. They actually have some rally heritage.
I am enjoying the fact that it didn't make it to 48 miles before someone had to bodge in a wiring fix - and not well. Also, what's the red thing in the engine bay? An aftermarket fuel filter?

Worse, a cheap fuel pump
Factory mechanical pump probably dried out due ro lack of use. The electric is a bad fix, but easily corrected. I'd buy it if I were a millionare with space for it.
A Shove-it.
Nobody expected anyone to give a damn about the Ford Falcon either but here we are.
Look what the Aussies do to the Holden Gemini.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I had a friend that would pull that stunt and get gad a Chevette diesel. Worst car I'd even met and I've driven Yugo and Hyundai Ponys. The 80s really did bring some wonderful and some horrendous cars.
