This is what I would do:

Replace all belts and hoses (heater hoses, too!), flush coolant, change oil, replace alternator with NEW GM unit. Power flush AT, consider a rebuild, seriously. Also consider the head gaskets.

depending on age:

replace all ujoints.
replace all wheel bearings.
Service brakes.
replace radiator
replace cooling fan motor(s)
recharge AC
flush ps fluid
replace all exterior bulbs
replace all 8 main injectors
new air filter
replace heater core
new water pump
complete tune-up (plugs/cap/wires/rotor)
new fuel pump
new fuel filter






If that would be the requirement, I'd just take the newer car and drive the 85 local. This would also be why I fly and rent car.
