great find! it needs to be saved!

looks like someone painted over the bumpers and side trim, but the body looks decent. interesting trim, logo marks are different than in North America.

Rear bumper looks small, ATM is weird, looks like a sidemarker on the RF fender- Euro- spec car?? Also our '85's didn't have inclinometers (could have been added 'tho.)
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

I think this car is in Vietnam, not in North America, that would explain the EU market trim. I like those bumbers, want.

Oh No, sounds like you are starting the Tercel hording behavior common to those on this forum. It is tough to break, but once infected there is not really an cure, you just have to see it through and hope your relationships survive.

Just kidding Petros. Here are full story

I own a very special UAZ 469B since 2008, last month I sold it because I have a new 1982 Al12 Tercel. But unlucky, that AL12 was broken the gearbox and I can't find any spare part in VN. I even came to Cambodia to find. Finally I bought that AL21 to get the gearbox. Last week, my friend told me that he bought the AL25 from the police department and he exchange the AL21 (without the gearbox) to me.

After all :D I have Al12 and AL25, my AL12 will be daily drive and AL25 with 4WD will be replace my old UAZ :D

My oldest car is Toyota 800 Publica 1967 :D

that is one cool vintage toyota. I do not think those were ever imported to North America, there were similar models from Nissan and a funky little honda two seat convertible, but nothing like this.
