Seller's Description:
1986 Toyota hatchback four wheel drive Toyota Tercel. Parts car. Need it gone. $600 or best offer. parts car!! Alert: I don’t know if it’s drive, last I heard it did not run. If it ran I would ask more money. I’m open to offers. But it’s all or nothing. It hasn’t been registered in 3 years. It belonged to my stepmom who passed away. I really don’t want to deal with anything I just need it gone. So again it’s a parts car. For parts. If you want the title and all that we can do that, however back registration will be due and idk if will pass smog. Best offer takes it.

Awesome! Another road-worthy T4WD saved from being parted out, or ending up at a wrecker's yard!
What did it take to get it running? Just curious.

A battery and a can of starting fluid. The radiator has a 6in crack on the top tank....probably what led them to park it then the owner passed away. I'm still on the hunt for a replacement radiator.
Changed out plugs, wires, cap and rotor....fires right up. 59k miles. I'll wipe her up and pass her along to someone.

Re: FS: Parts car, low-mileage '86 T4WD wagon w/ auto tranny, South Lake Tahoe, CA
better keep an eye on the coolant level as you drive it. if they overheated the engine when the radiator gave up, they may have compromised the head gasket. It is unfortunately quite common, it may run okay, and even show good compression, but a small seep in a damaged head gasket will eventually get worse and fail completely.
it is not too hard to replace the head gasket on these cars. I have a head gasket repair thread over in the Repair guides section that will show you everything you need to know.
Good luck.

Thanks Petros. I'm not driving it yet. It's parked until I can get a radiator.
