1987 Tercel SR5 wagon, 277K -- $1400
Date listed: 1/17/18

This has been my project vehicle for the past few years. I rescued it out of someone's yard in New Mexico where it had sat. Has been an Arizona / New Mexico vehicle its whole life. It was destined to be a parts car but I got it everything it was missing and now it's complete again.

4wd, 6 speed manual, A/C, power sunroof, roof rack, ran and drove when parked last May, will start right up with gas poured in the carb but won't stay running since the fuel system is dry and gas is old (will need trailering anyway because it could use a good look over the drivetrain since I haven't gotten through everything)

Transmission was dropped and had all the seals replaced. New CV axles installed with transmission. Has a new timing belt installed with 0 miles. New exhaust from the header back. Clutch has plenty of life left. Tires all have good tread and steel wheels replaced with Toyota alloys. A bit of dry rot on the edges. Oil / filter changed last year before being parked. Has a bunch of spare parts in the back too.

Feel free to ask questions. These are cool cars and this one deserves a home that will take good care of it.

1985 Tercel SR5 wagon, 164K -- $3500 obo
Date listed: 1/17/18

Ok so it isn't an actual tank but its the closest thing to a road legal tank.

In actuality its an 85 Toyota Tercel, and I realize the price is high, but I also realize I will never get the over $6000 I put into this car back so make an offer. The list of customization's is long:

15" custom rims with new 15" Bizzaks
MR2 vented disk brakes
Weber carb with fuel pressure gage
Custom Stereo system
Custom Steering Wheel and Shift boot
New head gasket with gold valve cover
Tinted windows

Must see the car to see the rest

This car will go anywhere on the roads in FWD without any issues. You can get through the entire winter without ever using 4wd, but if you have to pop it in this car will drive through a field of snow over the hood without a problem. It is a beast, not AWD but true 4wd and you can feel the difference.

164K miles which is very low for a Toyota 4A engine and it runs great. Everything works as it should.

If there is any interest out there shoot me an offer. This car has been taken car of and you will not find another one like it.

1985 Tercel DLX 4WD wagon, automatic transmission, 232K -- $2000
Date listed: 1/17/18

This is a very clean and very cool car. Everything is in awesome shape. It's hard to find something so clean.

Interior is in excellent condition. No stains, no rips, nothing missing, everything is in place and clean and working.

Exterior is in good condition. No rust, no dents, no scratches. Everything is in place and working. Has a car rack too.

The engine runs great. Everything is in place and functioning well. Exhaust is in good shape. Should pass deq just fine if need be.

New brakes and booster. Front and rear end has been gone through and everything is in good shape or new. Recent tune-up and carburator rebuild. New vacuum lines. Timing belt replaced. Lifted 1.5" in the front end and new struts. Pathfinder springs and Tbird shocks in the rear end.

Work has been done to this car beyond what I have listed. I also have a trunk full of parts for the car that go with it.

The automatic transmission has a bad governor. It won't move unless 4x4 is engaged so I don't drive it. It can be driven but the governor needs to be replaced. A new governor is available. I have not had time to replace it but it is not difficult.

1988 Tercel SR5 wagon, 108K -- $5800 obo
Date listed: 1/15/18

Selling our trusty T4WD. This car only has 108,000 miles on it and considering the age, both the exterior and interior are in excellent condition. I have not seen a Tercel SR5 in the last 10 years that looks this nice. Clean title, currently registered in CA but has not been smogged in 2 years. Been our daily driver since we have owned it. As with any cars this old, there are some things that need to be done to make it perfect; belts, shock/struts, RR axle seal leaking etc. We are selling as is, and complete (please no parts requests). Rack in pics not included. Price is $5800 OBO. Anyone familiar with these cars knows the value, please no tire kickers or low-ballers.
