It does not say, but that appears to be a 2wd wagon. Kind of high price for a old econobox toy wagon.

I believe it was Tom who instructed me on the gas flap on drivers' side = 2wd; I AM learning!

Not much info, but it does look clean. Wow - 107K miles!
I think this is the first time I've seen a Wagon with WSW tires - don't look too bad (OK-OK-so I'm from the '50s...).
I don't think that was even an option way back when - I know the salesman in late '82 never asked me if I wanted 'em on the SR5.

Apparently this is a 4WD. I asked for more pictures but they are not coming but maybe we'll get answers to the other questions I've asked. Isn't Texas a million miles from me?

It's a 2WD - gas flap on D/S and 2WD grille.

This is confusing, seller says 4wd and now I am wondering if this is an automatic. Time for another email

You'd think they would be all over that 4wd action in snowbelt areas like Houston, Texas! They do get an average of 0.0 inches of snowfall a year after all~

One january I spent a week in Texas, driving through with my daughter on her way to school in Austin. We never saw the temp above freezing for a week, and was as low as 17 deg F. Not a lot of snow, but we had ICE all over the roads. Quite the trill ride.
