I have an 85GT for sale with 60k miles. It has been for sale here before but at that point had more problems than now. I've replaced the starter, fixed the ignition system (Kind of), flushed and burped the coolant, installed missing relays, and cleaned the intake system.
The Good
60k Miles! Lots of the little stuff is still in good condition
Decent Tires
3.65 V6 Muncie 4spd Manual
Engine seems solid (Read "The Bad" section)
Solid body except one crack in the ground effects on one of the very short pieces
Trunk is rust free, frame is very solid
All options including defrost/etc.
Seats are pretty good
Power Windows work well
Correct 85GT body including wing and Aero bumpers
Runs and drives. Drive it home!
Very solid suspension
Glass is all pretty good
New Starter
Clutch is firm and doesn't slip
The Bad
Hesitation across all RPM when accelerating hard. Sometimes bad. Needs several cans of TB/Intake cleaner or something. Maybe just premium fuel since it's "chipped". Just thought of that...will try when I get a chance.
Paint is just okay. Not great.
Ignition switch is hard bypassed with a switch because it stopped working. Push button or replace the bad switch.
Valve cover gasket leak on trunk side (Thank God).
Various aftermarket switches installed, some of them I don't know what they do!
No headlight motors (Will provide or install)
Headliner is shot
Aftermarket exhaust (Not a great one). Sounds mean but rusty.
A couple broken fuses.
Various very minor problems/annoyances.
Overall it is a solid car with a lot of potential. After a few weekends of tinkering this could be a pretty nice car.
Pics coming soon. Have to go find the old thread...
Asking 1,000. Yes, I know it was listed for 800 but it had many more issues than it does now and I've put a fair but of work into it, so don't start flaming me.
The reason it is relished is the previous potential buyer drove around 6 hours from Wisconsin but had second thoughts about driving it back. He commented he did not feel misled whatsoever, just was scared an unknown car might break down on a ling trip back home. I think it would have made the trip fine as there is no stutter when cruising, but I also understood his concern.
There were a few other interested parties before. Second chances?
And once again, if anyone wants to give me crap about raising the price, I will be happy to reinstall the bad starter, remove all the relays I installed, dump some sand in the intake/etc and sell it to you for 800.
