Your car didn't have a hatch pull-down motor. It is simple to add a hatch release solenoid to your hatch latch though. You just need to be sure you get a 1982-86 hatch release solenoid from a car at the pick-a-part or used ThirdGen F-Body retailer. It attaches with a single bolt to the latch. You should also get the relay, wiring and hatch release button.
