NOT go offroading? NO WAY! GET THAT THING ON THE TRAILS! show off that you can have one heck of a pretty ride that can hit the trails without a problem too! (just make sure the tree branches are WELL out of reach of this beauty!) seriously, i'll trade you straight up. i throw in 2 lunches and a dinner as well. interested yet?

ayoung101

what was the previous owner thinking with NOT driving that? is that what MINE looked like when it was new? man, i wish i was old enough to drive back then!

If that thing ever sees dirt, so help me god...

Man am I ever jealous, that's amazing!

Why does it look to have black spray paint down under? Looks like a rattle can job to cover dirty parts. the top side looks sweet and interior imacualte. Great find.

Well, if you ever want to sell it I GOT FIRST DIBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! I'll write you a check right now...how much...it's even my FAVORITE COLOR!



So tell me, where did you find that thing, like online, see it by the side of the road, how? So I can check to find me one!

The true perfect '85. A diamond in the rough for sure. Congrats on the find!

Mad Chemist

That is so sweet, and if you don't post the price you paid I think a few of us are ready to drive out there, beat you senseless, and take your ride. I saw some total pieces of crap '85 4runners out here in WA that were going for 4-5 grand....

It could be some sort of undercoating. Missouri sees a good deal of salt. My 90 is from that area, and has rust around the fender.

Also, fellas stop hounding him about the price. Some people like to keep that to themselves. Appreciate it for what it is!

I just want to know when I get to meet you and go for a spin in that gem.

If you were a woman, I'd ask you to marry me

Awesome find man, congrads

That is the original undercoating. The guy has the window sticker for it...says right on there cold weather rust protection under coating.

It was actually in the newspaper. I thought it was a typo or somehting...it said 32k original miles. I was like yeah, on its second engine. But I called and the wife confirmed it. Well getting it was a PITA but worth it. Everyone in town wanted it, but I am luckily unemployed and got to it first. There was a bidding war for it over the phones...I just couldnt pass it up. They were asking for $5500...well I paid more than that in the end. Lets just say I wouldnt dare sell it for under $10K. This thing is TOOOO beautiful to sell for anything less. But no...I paid well under that amount.

I actually bought the truck without even driving it. It was too beautiful to think that it wasnt in perfect condition. I got the title at 3:00 but had to wait till 4:00 for the husband to come home and give me the key. Well a guy showed up really pissed off when he found out that I outbid him w/o knowing. He thought he had a verbal agreement for X amount of money. They guy started yelling and saying that he is going to sue the people that sold it to me and a bunch of crap. I thought he was going to start throwing punches or ram his car into the 4Runner. He was ticked off! Nevertheless, ITS ALL MINE!!!!!!!!!! I almost said to him though....$10k and it's yours.




BTW...I just got back from an hour long drive in it...ITS PERRRRRFECT. Drives like a dream. Soooo smoothe. I am soooo freaking happy I bought it.

That is the nicest 85 runner I've seen, at least stock and original. My friend found this 84(the blue one, red is mine) 2 yrs ago with 2,000 original miles.

Dude, I saw that at Autozone on Big Bend 2 weeks ago and nearly pooped myself! I couldn't believe how clean it was. I got the dude's number and everything but I'm in no position to buy another 4Runner as I have 2 already and the wife isn't fond of either one

KevyWevy

weirdest picture in the world!!!! imagine if the trucks actually looked like that ^

PoBoy

BTW: The fiancee thinks I only paid $4500...so dont go screwing things up for me I was still in New Orleans at my batchlor party as far as I was concerned

ayoung101

how could anyone NOT like the 4runner? all my friends HATE toyota's but they ALL respect the runner! (it really burns them up to admit it too! haha!)

PoBoy

DAMN! I probably could have gotten it for cheaper!

bobzemuda

i'm starting to notice a lot of st louis (east side MO) folks on here lately. We're not to far away from MORoc

Willcipher

I poked my head into it and it is as clean if not cleaner than the pics indicate. I told the dude he could get whatever he wanted for it! Nice truck though. If it were mine I'd be afraid to take it off road
