I'd like to see better pics of the rocker panels. Appear to be painted black. Covering up rust ? In the Maritimes these cars suffer from rusty rockers.
That Ion would be better as a Redline with the same powertrain as the Cobalt SS. Love the dual suicide doors though.

A 1986 Hyundai Stellar is on Cars and Bids, with just 92k on it. I never realized these were RWD although it makes sense. Funny to think that a "luxury sedan" came with 13" wheels and 74 hp.I was living in Antigonish NS in the late '80s and the only non-Big Three dealer in town was a Hyundai store. I remember Stellars being a fairly common sight.https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KV06NxPl/1986-hyundai-stellar-executive?fbclid=IwAR3T6AwK_Zgv1gZeuX54Sosekq7LQbqPEHeyEqYYGJAnEbmL_2C0_xKny8o
^^ Nice one! Three different brands of tires I remember when these were new many had wonky tailights, ie brakes wired to reverse, flashers on brake, etc. Always entertaining to follow one.
That’s because no one but Hyundai thought this was a “ luxury sedan”
I'd buy this one for sure if it were closer. Even with the lousy automatic.

This is a rare "Executive", of which less than 20 or 30 or something were made. I don't think I've ever seen another one.

There's a Choke symbol on the dash. Does this car have a manual choke?
