Thanks for the info. You know I used to own an '84.
Very similar to the '85 I now have except for body
color and the trip computer the '84 had. The '85 has a
sun roof, power windows and locks. Other than that I
am very hard pressed to see any significant
differences, but I have heard the engine is mounted
differently. Know anything about this?
