Could this be stock 85 4runner paint scheme?
This is my first post- the pic is my new runner (85 sr5). Anyone from Canada will appreciate it because they just do not exist like this anymore up here. It is largely stock with next to no rust at all. 100 000 miles on the odo, all pro comp lift/susp (4" susp, 1.5" body). Interior is as new! I am really excited to be in this club because I have always loved these runners. What do you think?

I think that is a repaint, but indeed it appears to be a stock color.
I like that they swapped on the 87+ chrome mirrors. I think they look way better than the 85 mirrors.

A member here posted pics of his "Granville Edition". Looked similar, same colors, but the layout was a little different.
I did some research on my '85 with the "Limited Edition" trim. Found out it wasn't factory. Toyota dealerships sent 4runners out to get customized once they were unloaded in the states. The paint and interior upgrades on my truck were done by Red-E-Kamp conversions in Mira Loma California. The truck was then sold new by the dealership, with the inflated sticker price. Like the present-day American Luxury Coach Z82 Chevy truck conversions and Choo Choo Customs back in the 80's.
If the paint and body on my '85 were in better shape, I'd totally rock the 80's graphics! It'll probably be painted solid factory white after I fix the dents and rust though.
