They're not that cheap here. $5500 and up. I've heard parts are hard to come by for them and were even when new.

That's a big step up from a mint Yugo.

Find me an absolutely mint Yugo with a stick and....
Greer, I didn't know you'd added that little '85 TI Charger to your fleet? You've been at our Ponderosa ah couple times so I know you've seen my fleet. I had the same acceleration problem with my '87 GTC Labaron TI coupe for over two years. Then It started overheating. 1st thing I replaced was the thermostat, and that didn't help so I had a compression test run on the little beast and found low compression on #4 and it went down hill from there. No it wasn't a blown head gasket az I'd hoped. Cracked head all the way thru the Water Jacket soooo????? A re-maned head was the only answer. I wound up with a roller rocker re-maned set up, don't know what year and don't care. The little beast now preforms as well as my 2.5L TII GT Scamp. Hope you don't run into those problem with your '85 My Friend. But I'd look close at having a serious Compression test run on your little '85. Oh, and I'd pay attention to turbomni also Pal. He knows his stuff better then most do, and we talk by P.M. every so often. Happy Trails Jarhead and stay in touch, Jer

I was with a customer and I had some work to do at another one of their locations. As was often done, I would follow someone over to the other location and they would show me what needed to be done etc.. The guy said "I'll meet you at the driveway of the parking lot. I'll be driving a blue Yugo". I started laughing, thinking he was joking around... He wasn't.
There he was, parked in a pristine Yugo, something I hadn't seen in many years. Turned out to be his daily driver and he was not really into cars, just had an old Yugo he took really good care of.

Jer,
We need to meet up and go out for a lunch sometime again. Hopefully when the weathers a bit nicer.
In regards to the car I got it on the 4th of July. Seeing your Lebaron with digital dash really inspired me to get a 80s K-Car. Thanks for the advice. Next time I’m around I hope I can see the Scamp in action
