1) BEAUTIFUL car. 2) Crappy wiring.
85's are the only year for the "biodegradeable" wiring harness that simply just falls apart as time goes on. If you are one of those guys who want to try a cool experiment, get a couple long lengths of wire, and replace the section(s) feeding the sending unit. I believe there are 3 wires; probably a ground, a high resistance state, and the gauge wire which changes value depending on how much gas is in the tank.
Replace that section of wiring, or at the very least take a peek at the connections. I'm a bit of an electrical junkie, so I'd jump at the chance to figure this out. It may not be the answer, but it IS an '85 and you do seem to have intermittent electrical issues. Those two go hand in hand unfortunately.
