Subject: [ASC McLaren ] Re: 85 Coupe Questions ---- 86 Coupe - Automatic

Body:
YES, a handful of the end of the 1985s had the availabilty of
ordering options! You will almost never find a 1985 with Power Locks
or T-Roof or Sun Roof. You DEFINATELY will never find an '85 with
Automatic nor a 3.27:1 or 3.73:1 axle ratio. Nor will you find a
Charcoal Grey, Platinum Silver or Raven Black 1985.
