The car will run, but I won't take it beyond the driveway. It's on two cylinders, so hills, speed bumps etc will hinder any significant travel. I'm open to negotiating price, but 200 seems a bit low considering I have promised 150 in new parts to accompany the car. I really don't want to crush this ...

Any last chance bids on this thing. If not, it's getting picked up this week to go bye bye.

Here are some pics. According to the write up on here, the repair would take me more than an afternoon, regardless I have yet to be able to make time for it. I was really hoping someone would want a project and keep this thing out of the scrap yard. I might tear into it this Saturday if the weather ...

Hey everyone,I have an 85 tercel sr5 wagon for sale. I got this thing not running and rebuilt the carb, and put another distributor on it. It runs but the compression of cyl 1&2 is non existent.

I also want to believe it'll do OK with a head gasket as it doesn't throw a lot of smoke, or burn oil.(some white ...

First I'd like to thank you guys for all the great info and videos on this site. My project (Yoda) an 85 tercel 4wd sr5 I purchased a little while back is giving me trouble with its revival. I bought it becausei need a 4wd every once in a while and it seemed like a fun candidate. The car is in relat...

That's interesting, I thought any decent bill of sale would have the original sellers info. As long as he turns up the vin, everything can be sorted out. And as far as it being stolen....

a timing belt and missing title are both easy fixes. well worth the $600.

Thanks, and I agree. I hope it goes into more capable hands than the current owner.
