I used to drive this car often when it was younger, and it was always very predictable and stable.   I am getting older and slower, but I put many miles on this car as a stupid teenager and it had never "bitten" me before.  I am inclined to think that the aging suspension is the culprit.

Plus the fact that your 1986 car doesn't have the Torsen diff that is
