Ready for Paint

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

"rare jewel"?...it's primer'd. the body looks pretty good but it's far from mint. non-working A/C, not smogged--way too much $$$. the seller believes the sunroof is a rare option though so that tells you something.

If it doesn't easily pass smog, that could end up cost you quite a bit of money to straighten it out. I agree with DLB, it's overpriced.

What's the point of keeping a spare on the roof, secured only by a strap which will permit the tire to slide back and forth, thereby removing some of the finish?
And what's up with displaying caps in the back window? Is that a CA thing? At least their placement would seem to indicate the parcel tray is still intact.

It also seems to have had its front grilled replaced as it has the '83-'84 style TOYOTA 4WD emblem. Also, I took a quick look at the smog check history and it has failed twice in the last 3 months. In CA, the seller is liable for providing for the smog certification.
