Ive been thinking about selling my 85 here recently. I found something a little more of a project, that i can go a different route with(Turbo 5.0 still a 4i TTop car). I know even if i got 30k for my car id regret selling it. No price could change that!

Anyways, i have an idea of what id like out of the car, just getting a second opinion, seeing if i should sell or just keep it. Everywhere i go, i get tons of people interested in the car, but i turn them away before they can offer a price.

Meh, I'd dump it. The 85's were awful. PM me your price...

J/K, I had one back in the late 80's and loved it. Funny enough, I'm looking for an 85 again, but I suspect yours is more than I'd care to spend at the moment.

Good looking ride!

Forgot to add, if you're gonna own a hatch, the four eyed version is the only way to go.

That car will hold it's value too, if that is a consideration.
