Ditto for me.  The 1982 Coupe's roof is rated for a maximum load
of 165 lbs.  This is more than my minivan will carry on top.  Plus
the total load capacity of the car is almost 1000 lbs.  It has been
very handy for hauling project materials.  Not the most convenient
however.  It is hard loading and unloading 80 lb. bags of cement
to and from the back seat.  You have to distribute heavy loads.
