if it's auto.. then it has a non roller cam motor with cfi fuel injection = crappy fuel injection..and it has a whopping 180 hp...one plus is it's a t-top car..if it were me I'd buy it for 200 beans and swap in / convert it to carb and ditch the DOA tranny!!!= AOD

I was under the impression all 85's were carbed.. I guess I was wrong. Thats the only reason I wanted was because I thought it was a carbed car.

I thought fuel injection wasn't introduced til 86? If you got a bunch of buddies I'd buy it to mess around with lol or if you have the time and space you could part it out and just give the rest to a junkyard.

I might buy it and strip it down and make a strickly drag car out of it. Just something to beat on so I will leave my 87 alone.

nope!! 84 and 85 had a cfi option .. a 2 barrel looking set up with two fuel injectors hung above the venturies.....it sucked for performance..trust me mine used to be such....only automatic equiped 5.0's in these years came with the cfi option..if it was a 5 speed = carbed
