That is a major find, especially if title came with it.  As you know some history of it I would assume that it did. 
I know that Kris is just amazed (and I suspect that Eric is too) at your find.  Being a tin top makes it an even more unique find.  Take care of it and welcome to ZW.  What area are you from?

First off, sorry for reviving this several month old thread. Secondly, WOW!! She's a real b-e-a-u-t! Great score. The SJ410 was the precursor to the Samurai/Gypsy/Sierra/Jimny. There is some great info here http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,38287.0.html (http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,38287.0.html), http://www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/history/ (http://www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/history/) and Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Jimny (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Jimny). 1986 saw the first SJ413 (Samurai) in U.S. markets, which was virtually identical to your '85 410, save for the changes in grill.

Very cool rig and enjoy it! Not many around in that good of shape, so take care of it!  8)
