SignUp Now!They are a (Hot Air) car, meaning they are not intercooled like the 86-87 models, they have less hp because of this, and take more $$ to go fast compared to and 86-87.
You are NUTS if you spend that kind of money on an '85.
The only cars to buy are the 86/87 cars... ESPECIALLY for that kind of money. The 85 and older cars are completely different animals and generally nobody wants them. Those who swear by them are just too embarassed to admit they got suckered into buying a car nobody wants. The only thing they are good for is spare interior and body parts.
It's 'sorta like buying a '54 Chevy instead of a '55 or '57.![]()

Don't listen to this clown...85's don't bring the "investment" money that some people ^^^^^ believe is the ONLY reason you would buy any type of collector car.If you are only in it for the money...find a GNX and park the S.O.B. and watch everyone else have fun from the sidelines.
If you like it...get it. I admit, $8500 seems high in this market...depends on milage/condition/etc. No question, the 84-85's aren't as fast and it takes more $$$ to get them there as well...doesn't mean they aren't worth owning.
Yullose: Your car will undoubtedly ALWAYS be faster than mine...but, park yours next to the one I got "suckered into buying" and we'll see which one is worth more....![]()

MrSharky...sorry to clog up your thread. Some people don't have an ounce of class.^^^^^^
Talk about getting your panties up in a bunch...sheesh.I'm so sorry I ever entertained the idea that my 85 was anything at all....guess it's just a heap of sparkling turds.
Don't buy the 85...you won't be welcome on this board or at the dragstrip with all the intercooled toughguys.What an a$$clown.
