October 27, 201510 yr Greetings from the southern Sierra mountain in California. I bought my '85 Suby from an elderly gentleman for $400. Since then, it's been down muddy mountain trails, through streams, and passing brand new cars in blizzards. I've never seen a model like mine, with 4 headlights, so i'm not sure if it's been modified or is just a rare make. It still passes CA strict smog laws, and has only needed an engine head replacement 8 years ago for major fixes. I still amaze people with the spare tire sitting on top of the engine, and 4wd on-call buttton.
October 27, 201510 yr Not really rare but you don't see a lot of the DL's any more. The dl's were the lower model which only came with the push button 4wd while the gl's came with dual range 4wd. Edited October 28, 201510 yr by turbosubarubrat
October 28, 201510 yr She's beautiful! I have a soft spot for '85s--had two of them--they were my first Subies. Sounds like you got a good one . . . at a good price! Welcome to the USMB.
