Looks very good for the price.
We have to love these cars because their prices are so low it's not their market value that keep us in the hobby. If I could I would buy them all at these prices.

I really though market had bottomed out years ago on these! I have seen many dirt cheap over the past few months man now is the time to buy them!

The ad says 1985 and alaso claims fuel injection. I didn't think any of the 85's had fuel injection. Am I wrong?

NO, you are not wrong.

The '85 auto cars had CFI fuel injection.

The ad is correct. In 85, all V8's that had an auto tranny had CFI fuel injection instead of a carb. Now, this is not MPFI like you see on all 86+ cars; CFI looks like there's a 2bbl carb sitting on top of the manifold, only there are 2 injectors hanging above it (it looks like an early Holley Pro-jection setup).

Hi everyone-

I live in the same town and have seen this car around. I tried contacting the owner and have sent message as well with no response. Not a bad car from what I remember, may pick it up myself if still available, I'll let you all know when I get a reply.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Jim

Yes, as was stated fuel injection started in 1984 and 1985 on the automatic transmission cars as CFI. Manual cars were carbed. 86 went with the SEFI "true" fuel injection setup.

GM kept CFI in their P-U truck for years.
