Sure looks sweet.
Than again, it is missing the piece of window trim behind the drivers side rear door.
Whats with the whole "Buy it now comment" when there is no buy it now price listed??
Will be interesting to see what it ends up going for, too bad Cali is so far away, be a nice road test though.

You can list it for bids and a buy it now. Once bids appear, the buy it now goes away.

This is interesting... It's a CA car with the HAC system retrofitted, this is the first time I see this.

Re: eBay -- '83 SR5, 199K, very nice -- San Diego, CA
we are a long way from the final price. interesting to see what it will sell for, seats look nice and clean and low miles too, I could get perhaps $3500 for it in the puget sound area, perhaps more. I do not know because I have never attempted to sell any of my project cars for nearly that much.
looks like there are lots of possible project cars available right now, I do not have time for them or I would save them all.

I see a toggle switch mounted under the instrument cluster, on the underside of the dash, in front of the ignition switch. SoCal Car maybe an alarm system? I see a not so stock looking wire over the top of the power brake booster... curious.

Now that you mention that, my 87 FWD has an alarm system sticker on the window, and a yellow wire in the same spot, haven't noticed a switch though.

Hey guys. Thinking about this one, as a donor vehicle for my restoration
( https://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5528 )
Thoughts? Wait for a lower mileage version, or go for it?
TIA!

Re: eBay -- '83 SR5, 199K, very nice -- San Diego, CA
what do need for your restoration, bryan? this one on ebay looks far too nice to me to use as a parts car. maybe you intend to swap parts from your childhood car onto another chassis?
only 6 hrs left!

I agree with dlb... the eBay wagon is too cherry to be a parts car
about 20 minutes left in the auction... $2550 top bid

I hadn't noticed it has the skinny tires - P155/80R13. The SR5 wagons only came with 175/70R13, I wonder who decided to put the skinnier tires on it.

It looks like a good one, but the owner was too vague with answers to important questions.
I'll need a cherry one similar to this for my project, but I'll wait for a sunroof model. All in good time...
