My FREE 1985 Toyota

Post by Devin »

This is my newly acquired 1985 SR5 6 speed. My uncle bought it from the first owner. I remember seeing this thing in his garage since I was a kid. It has been sitting for about 12 years after first gear went out and then got stuck in 2nd. I towed it back to Colorado from Nebraksa last week.
I think the body and interior are in great shape for having 220,000 miles. The fist step is swapping the trans.
Hope these pictures come out.

Welcome to the Club!
Lots of good info and helpful members here! Also - much info available using the Search feature. Did you notice that there is a FSM also available for download?
Nice looking interior - and the body looks rust-free!
