Hi, I am selling this truck after storing it for a few years. It belonged to my step father who wants me to sell it. About 3 years ago he gave it to me as he does not have the capability to work on it. I intended to fix it up and put a stoker motor in it although it was fast with the engine it had from the factory. My Step Father bought this truck new. At about 200k miles he had the engine replaced with a new crate engine. About 50k miles later it started running bad and he brought it back to the same people who installed the engine. They told him that the new engine was bad and he needed a new one. He is not mechanically minded at all so he just parked it and bought a new truck. He placed this truck in a barn and that is where it sat until I pulled it out and cleaned it up with intentions of fixing it up. It sat outside my house for a couple of weeks... long enough for my Step Son to run into it with a riding lawn mower causing a dent on the front quarter panel. I soon realized that I would not have the time to deal with the truck. I figured I may at a later date.... the date never came, so I have decided to sell it. I have had a few offers for it over the few years but I wanted to keep it at that time. This truck was babied to say the least. For its age, it is in super condition. The interior is near perfect. The drive train has no problems at all. The engine is in unknown condition. Personally I doubt that the engine really needed to be replaced after only 50k miles, but it has sat up for a few years. I make no claims that this truck will run in it current state. As far as I know everything, including the paint job is original. The aluminum rims are original from the factory as part of a sport package that Toyota sold at that time. For a 1 or 2 K dollars, this could be a very unique and very sharp looking truck... and fast. several places will fix up your engine or you can just buy a stroker motor at about 200 hp... double what it came with. My friend put one in his 90 something Toyota and flat out blows v8 mustangs and the like away on the drag strip close to where I live. I think he told me he ran 13.9 with it.. not too bad and it sounds awesome. Even in the barn, some rust began to form because of the Mississippi humidity. I show the rust starting in the pictures. I would love to see this truck fixed up. If you do bid on it, win and fix it up... I really hope you would let me see some pictures of it as I think it would be the talk of the town. I know I will be jealous and wish I would had the means to fix it up. The dent from the lawn mower is not creased... would be an easy fix. Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you bid... if not, I hope you find what you are looking for.... if you have any questions, just let me know. The drivers side seat has a rip in it. Dash and all other interior is in great condition with no cracks or tears. Has sliding rear glass. AC worked well when he parked it and it did run but would not idle. The mechanic shop wanted to put another new engine in it. It could have been as simple as a fuel filter. Manual says 86' cause it was purchased late in 85 but was built in 85. PLEASE do not place a bid unless you intend on purchasing the truck... Thank You ps... if you cant make a deposit through PayPal just email me and we may be able to work something out.
