I've never seen one these colors before. It sure does look nice...well except for that brown stripe that separates the white and burgandy (should have been black).

I'm not digging the gold stripe next to the red... and it'd be better if the 2-tone went all the way to the back

Judging from the interior I'm thinking it's an 84 or 85...

Oooops, silly me just read that it's an 85. The white exterior and red interior would have been factory colours, but the red and gold, someone actually paid for that!

Didn't have to look at the interior.

84-85 models had the vents in the lower valence to cool the brakes.
