Welcome from SW Georgia. Enjoy your ride because it is a nice one and on your want list. A good deal is when the seller and buyer are not happy but the deal goes through.
Congrats

It's still likely the nicest original 85 442 out there. I'm going to have to go through mine, but I put 60K miles on it since new. At one point, it was my only car, so I didn't have much choice.
If the power antenna runs constantly, it's more likely the nylon actuator cable has snapped. A common problem with those things.
Don't get rid of it anytime soon. When going through mine, I may need some photographic help.
Very nice 442. I like the color combination. You don’t see many 85’s like that
A little note about the shocks. There isn't anything in the owner's manual or nothing included with the car to tell you that you need to have a MINIMUM air pressure in the air shocks. It's 10 psi minimum, and 90 psi maximum. That's what the service guys told me and it's also in the chassis service manual.
I was in my late 20s in 1985. I sat in these cars almost everyday for 6 months. Constant trips to the dealership... annoying the salesman as often as I could... so when I saw this one a couple weeks ago... I just couldn't pass it up.
