That means you have the load leveling rear suspension.  That seems to be a highly coveted option.  My '86 wagon has it too.

Have you tried it to see if it actually works?

Has anyone said what a great car you have saved yet?   If not, let me tell you that you have saved a great car from the crusher!   Eggs to you (again).

I don't know exact numbers, but they were few and inbetween.  I'm happy I own one with leather in my '83 :)

Wow...dang it. Seeing all these great finds are making me jealous. I wanna just hang out at the scrap yard till one shows up! Sending you an egg. How much did you end up paying for it if you don't mind me asking?

Ive seen a few nice ones in junkyards and offered to buy the entire car...sadly they all had title issues and could not be sold as a whole car...Maybe I just need to rephrase next time...I want to buy the complete drive train, body, hood, doors, and all interior parts ;D....hey it could work.
