Craig's list seattle area, '85 SR5 6-speed $550

NOt mine. It was just re-listed today, he tried to sell it a month ago same price. looks pretty decent shape, the "chatter" he describes is likely piston slap from worn cylinders. so the engine must be replaced or rebuilt soon, eventually the piston fails and you trash the engine (I know from personel experiance!).

If anyone is interested I could go take a look at it at for you, it is not far from me. But it will need work, I would not trust it for a long drive (might make it home with a crank case full of STP), until the engine is replaced.
