As to flaws, at one location of pinstriping on the hood there is a slight squiggle but this is simply an indication it is a decal which has moved in the heat and is not painted on. There is a slight oil drip when the vehicle sits in storage over time. We have not driven it more than 600 miles in 5 years so this is a matter of drying out gaskets. The vehicle is stored inside with a trickle charger and we just purchased a waterproof cover. The choke sets with the pedal and fires off flawlessly every time.
Wagoneer Features and History: The 1985 is the end of the era of round instrument gauges with metal mechanical push button and lever heater controls left of the steering wheel. The steering wheel has a round cap with spokes as opposed to the later model with an upside down Y yoke and a squared off center horn button. All control buttons, from vent pulls to wipers, headlights, rear window control and defroster are more finely detailed than the later models. The front grille is intricate with multiple fins of polished chrome. Notice how detailed the grille and dash instrumentation and controls are on the AMC edition Wagoneers.This one features the beautiful saddle tan interior which is much richer than the desert tan version and screams quality and luxury.
Notably the 1985 still carries the American Motors Logo and badging. AMC paid more attention to detail during their production of the Wagoneer. After 1985 the Griswald 1980's and Chrysler then fully take over, the classic exterior body remains but the grille is simplified. And on the interior adjustments are made for mass production. The instruments become square, heater controls are mass produced elements by Mopar and are moved to center of dash and everything is a bit more plasticified when thedash elements become unremarkable common Chrysler parts.There is something different about the ride of 1985 and earlier which has always made it a bit more comfy and it seems to sit a bit lower than the following years.All of these differences may be attributable to AMC production before Chrysler. If compared, the pre-1986 Wagoneers have the best craftsmanship of the production run that ended in 1991 with what Chrysler called the "FInal Edition". In reality there are two groups of Final Edition, with the earilier being more accurately the "FInal AMC Edition". Here we have one of last ones from that era with very low miles in excellent condition. And this is the nicest one we have found in the last 25 years.
