Sorry I shoulve said....physically all the same.
Some people say that the 85 is more desirable, and there are certain people on the forum, that will immediately ask "Whats the last 4 of the vin" when ever someone post that they have an 85.
Ive never seen an 85 get anymore, or any less price than any others. Because the Gen 1 Vmax was put out for 22 years, and was virtually unchanged all that time a first time buyer is just looking for the best and cheapest version that they can buy.
Now me personally, Ive got an 07, and 86, and gonna pick up another 86 (PCW 1260). The first 86 I'm gonna convert to an 85 (I have an 85 frame), will it be numbers matching......no. Will it get added to the collection, and made into an 85 for the collection. (Looking for an 05 as well, eventually).
Bottom line....its yours.....have fun with it, and make it into your version of a perfect Vmax. Either back to stock, or make a 1570 out of it.
