    If there is an 85 near you that is registered and only $1000 buy it. If you don't like it you can always sell it for like $3000 anyway.
    85 and 86 are pretty much the same car with a few small differences. I'm sure they're the same to drive tho.

    I may have read somewhere (don't quote me on this one) that an 85 has a cable clutch. If I am right it's another little headache to deal with with conversions.

    yeah, an 85 with rego for a grand! even if you dont convert it to a better engine or like it. thats a good price of any RWD in my books.

    1000 bucks!!! you bet its worth it! <- unless its guttered with cancer and its 5000 bucks off a road worthy... of corse

    To bust some myths and summarise:

    AE85's are:
    RWD
    have a 3au
    K50 with cable clutch
    Different (i.e. worse) suspension
    S series (i think. not sure.)
    Same interior is the same as an ADM AE86.

    Still, it's a fecking bargain.

    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
