I purchased this 85' a little over 3 years ago with 173k miles after selling my 1987 that I daily drove. The 87' served as my only form of transportation for the last 3 years of ownership. The majority of the time, I was a full time student as well as a full time employee. My (new to me) 85' has never let me down, starts every time and never fails to bring a smile to my face... especially when the top is off! During my ownership, I have replaced quite a few parts either do to them being broken, leaking, etc. or to upgrade them. First thing I fixed was a leaky front main seal, utilizing the starter bump method like a "true professional". While I was at it, I replaced the water pump and the fan clutch.
