I'm fairly certain an OBD1 bluetooth adapter doesn't exist. I'm sure with heavy electronics and software skills, one could modify a 327 for use on OBD1 application... |

Most of the bluetooth OBD-II dongles that are labelled as ELM 327, actually aren't. They are knock-offs.
I've found the best option to be the OBDLink MX. You can get a bluetooth or wifi version. It supports the full ELM 327 command set, and supports the full transfer speed for OBD-II CAN, which is about 4x faster than the ELM 327. It's $99 though, instead of $9.
There are a couple of GM ALDL pre-OBD-II bluetooth adapters available, but given what information is available, speeds used, and that you can't really drive the car with the ALDL in full use, they aren't that useful, either.
