Thanks!! That was a sweet little car, I miss it so much! The ES2800 had the H.O. version (125 hp instead of 112 hp

) of the ubiquitous 2.8 V6 that GM offered in a lot of cars in the 80's.

Ya but that Bug had a baja kit and BFG's on back and was the transporter and musical entertainment at many of a keggers deep in the woods. The old Hodie's were fun bikes, my Dad about crapped his pants when I split the cases to replace the main gear. Somehow I got it all back together and it worked, I was about 12 at the time
