Not a T4 but almost as cool.

This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

Wow, flashback. Haven't seen one since around 1990. Looks fairly well preserved. The front doors meeting sliders with no pillar is unique!

Probably rarer than a T4? Could make parts procurement harder than what we deal with.

Yea, I'm not sure about the no b-pillar thing for structural integrity. But I guess it's made it this far...it would crumple in a wreck though.

Finding parts would definitely be an issue.

Able,

I see one of those about 20 miles from me that has been sitting for some time, but looks decent as I drive by. I do believe they would be more difficult for parts and repair. I don't know if they kept the longitudinal engine or went transverse, but they are pretty similar to our rigs. I don't like the body lines quite as well, either, but I wouldn't say no if somebody tried to give me one :)

almost all car companies had a 4wd model available after Subaru did well. Mitsubichi, Honda, Toyota and Nissan all had 4wd cars imported.

I liked this Nissan but never ended up getting one. it had that funny sliding van like door on it.

of all of the other 4 wd cars, only the Tercel4wd are still around, and Subaru of course.
