I'll take the '84 or the '86 on a 600 mile trip on a moment's notice.

Sure, sometimes you'll have some issues, but, they normally won't strand you. On the last trip with the '86, it cracked the #6 injection line and eventually lost all pressure to #6. Had to drive it on 5 for about 150 miles and order the injection line from the dealer in Raleigh. Two days to get it.

I agree with the problems of obtaining parts.........sometimes it's difficult.
