Before I bought the terc I never noticed them. Now I see them everywhere here.

I see them for sale in the extreme suburbs and in yards in the city. I passed 2 on my 25 mile trip home yesterday. I will pass three during my delivery shift this evening.

Do others see this many?

When you see them do you think hey that could be my parts car?

I never used to see them at all, but now that I bought one I have seen 6 others in my immediate area. I'm tempted to try to put some sort of a run together before the snow hits in the Coast Range, but it will have to wait till after hunting season.

If anyone is curious, I am in Hillsboro, OR. That's about 25min east of Brown's Camp OHV area in the Tillamook State Forest. I bring my Jeep out there on the trails all the time. Those guys are gonna freak when I bring my Terc out there....

There are a couple I see in my town, one I call the "ghost terc", because I only see it in the early morning in the fog.

There are probably 5 or 6 down in Corvallis in various conditions, which I see every day going to school. There are also about 3 Corolla AllTracs in the area as well.

I only can think of a couple in my immediate area, other than mine and my Dad's which I see all the time. There is a brown one that I see from time to time, and the guy in it actually waves to other Tercs, a la bike/Jeep drivers. That's cool!

I live in a mountian community a north of Los Angeles, and there is four or five. There is a tan color one that has a broken trans that the owners aren't sure what they are going to do with it. It looks like Brianp's. It's interior is filthy and the front bumper is cracked badly. How hard are those to find?? The body is in real good shape. If they want to sell, and I can't get it, I'll post the info...

In NY where I live rust has killed most cars older than 15 years. There are a couple of Tercel Wagons I see around. The only one that's not really rusty is 2WD.

I live in farm country north of Goderich, Ontario and I rarely see them. I saw one brown 83-84 1 year ago near here and just last weekend i saw a dark blue one with tinted windows in Port Elgin north of Kincardine. When I lived on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia I saw one every five minutes! That island probably has the most SR5 Tercels in North America!

They are a rare commodity around here in middle TN. At least, out on the highways. There are a few around, but nothing like out in CO or what y'all have described out in OR or BC. There have been several come through the local junk yard in the last year and a half....many of the bodies totally rust free. It makes me sick to know that a solid body car is going to the crusher...and they won't even consider selling it to you as one piece. OH, well, I guess that's the way of things.

I'd like to buy another SR5 with decent mileage on it, preferably under 150K, so if anybody happens to see one up for sale, and you're not going to buy it, let me know !

In Southern Ontario I saw alot of them when I was young and my parents car was an 85 Tercel 4 door hatchback. I noticed them because they said Tercel on them but were so much bigger and different. I see one about once every 2 months now, and there's about 3 I know of in my city, all of which have lots of rust.

When I used to live in the San Bernardino Mountains(I was born in Lake Arrowhead)when I was like 5(15 yrs ago) I saw them all the time- good for snow. Now I only see one, and it is 2WD... :huh:

I see them quite a bit around my neck of the wood's . some are beat and a few are pretty nice . I have 2 of my own and would like to buy a few parts cars to just yank the parts off I need and send them to the bone yard . I'm in milwaukie , oregon and have a big chopped and bobbed suburban on 42'' swampers that I take to browns camp . I have taken the terc to sand lake and mobbed around durring Bronco fest . you should of seen some of the "what h*ll'' look's I got . I have drivin a few easy trail's up at goat mt but until I weld up the rear spider gears in the rear axle (lincoln locker) and build my front bumper to mount a winch I will stay with the easy stuff with the terc and wheel my REAL 4x4 in the crazy stuff . I also have an 57 jeep cj5 (m38) that I'm building into a rock crawler . I still think a terc 4 linked on sammi axles with an exo cage and a winch, 4 age motor swap and 29'' swampers would be pretty cool . maybe after the jeep is done and I find a cheap terc I will attempt this . That's IF my wife doesn't have me put on med's

. let me know when you are going to Brown's with your terc and I will show up in mine . maybe we can try 7 up or the lower crushers
