Wanted to stop and introduce myself. New to the forum but not to the platform. Recently took over the family project. 1985 442, t-top car that has been in the family for 23 years. Going back and forth on a 6.0 swap... here she is

Looks similar to mine- black with the claret interior. Welcome. Any pics of the trunk lid sticker? Curious to see how yours is optioned.

Welcome to the GbodyForum!
Super Clean start. You're already mile ahead of some of us that have to deal with RUST and the likes.

I’ll grab a pic when I get home I’ve been wanting to go through it myself!

Mine was built in February. Last 6 of 364867. Yours may be a December or January car. Not sure. If yours is missing the door jamb stickers, you won't be able to tell the month your car was built because the 85's didn't have a body tag on the cowl.

I'll go through your RPOs tomorrow morning when I get time. Looks pretty well equipped, though. Similar to mine. Did notice a lack of G80 (limited slip) on yours.

I'll dig up a pic of mine and post it. I know I have one around here somewhere.
