'85 T-Type? Good, Bad, Ugly? What to look for?

[gillbot]

Can you give me the good, bad and ugly on the '85 year T-Types. I got a guy sellin one for a good price and I might go pick it up. A few guys here seem to know your shit with them so I thought I'd ask.

What he said.

It's listed for REAL CHEAP and i'm not looking for the fastest car but it's a pretty good deal. Supposedly "No rust" but i'll verify that when I see it up close. Even if it only run's 16's, I'll be happy with it.

I've got an 85 T-Type and I like it. Although it will never be as fast as an 86 or 87 , but I'm not looking to have the fastest car.

Not really any downsides.

 

The stock ignition is pretty weak and most people convert to 86-87 style.

 

Tranny is solid. Rear is solid. Motor is solid. Heads flow a little less than the 86-87's.

 

They will make good power, it just takes a little more parts and a little more money.

I was looking around on www.gnttype.org and a few others but they don't have the usual "what to look for" pages that I've seen in the past, but can't seem to relocate. Hopefully the car will still be there when I get down there to check it out, but it's priced REALLY low since the guy wants to move it badly, hence the reason I really wanna look it over well too.
