Someone should definitely save this beauty

Located on the Olympic Penninsula.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1987 Toyota Tercel SR5 4WD wagon. 181,000 miles. Interior and exterior both in excellent condition. Engine is running rough and will need to be replaced soon. Blue gray exterior, sun roof, velvet edged upholstery. $650.00 or make offer.

"I've had it checked out by two good local mechanics who both recommended engine replacement. The last mechanic checked cylinder compression and said all 4 cylinders are low; 135 when they should be around 175, but all 4 cylinder compression levels are even."

Good chance that a week of soaking the rings with Seafoam, followed by an oil change and an Italian tune up would bring up the compression.

Checking valve timing would be a good idea.

Sure wish these nice fixer uppers popped up around here.

... and an Italian tune up....

Fitting those 13 inchers with cement tires and throwing 'er into the Hudson would do some good?!?

I've been wanting a T4WD like this one, but they just don't show up like this down here, what a shame. If it popped up here, I'd be all over it.

Perhaps he discovered the seller's pet name for the Terc is "Luca Brasi..." ?
