1985 Tercel SR5 4WD 58K miles - Houston, Tx

Post by DavesTavern »

Greetings,

I'm looking for a good home for my Tercel. Think the trans went out..could be the clutch, but I have no forward or reverse movement and no burning smell. With a heavy heart, it's time for me to move on to another project. This has a long interesting history I'd be glad to share with you if someone is really interested. It's got a recent blaze orange and white paint job,new interior, new stuff (front calipers,MC, cleaned and redkoted the tank, rebuilt the carb,has alloy wheels, new tint, newer interior-seats...) . Got 58k miles on it. Amazing car if you had $1000 to put in it. I had to go to commuting downtown and ended up with a Camry. No rust. Looking for $1800, or trade for motorcycle plated dirt bike, cool scooter, or something. Sad day,but it needs a good home. I'll email pics/video if interested.

call or text me if you think you're interested. 281.210.6720 David

Sorry for your loss...
I'm not interested, but if you have time - share the "long interesting history" you mention: We are always interested in the Odysseys of our little guys.

dave, you should post some pics. it sounds like it's pretty nice, especially with the low miles, so you will likely get some interest through the forum with some visuals. plus i just wanna see that paint job.

Keep in mind your old Uncle Danzo has a spare gearbox laying around.....H-town is about 5 hours away...
