That's is not an '86 maybe an '83-'85.

Actually, I think it's a 81 non-turbo (no tach, old style window switches, steel wheels, new style ACC).

why would someone pay 20.00 to list a car and sell it for only 1$??
I sure wish I lived there.

Wow, this is 30minutes from our place.

My guess is Auto Trader's dropdown list only goes up to 86, so he listed it as that.
