Elier

For sale - $5,000.00

I purchased this Toyota mini-truck new in 1980 at the Palo Alto, CA dealership. Has 213,716 actual miles. Engine/transmission rebuilt August 1999 at 206,941 - 6,775 miles on the new engine - a real "part-time" driver for the last 8 years or so. New in 80, this was a basic, stripped-down 4-speed 4x4 which only came with an FM radio (long gone now) and an optional rear bumper. All glass is original. I still have the original rear bumper plus an after-market Smitty-built. The original Dunlop SnowCruiser spare is still mounted on the original spare rim. The steel rims are all original and in good shape. I’ve put lots time and new Toyota OEM parts into the truck over the last few years.

Your truck is probably very unique in that it would be next-to-impossible to find an original owner from '80. But, at the risk of upsetting you, it seems like $5k for this truck might be a little steep. As you said, it is "bare-boned"; no 5speed or a/c or p/s. Again, please don't take offense. I bet you love the truck and the next owner also would. But, at $5k, it might scare away some buyers...I say keep it! You will probably regret selling it---it's very cool!

it is a nice looking truck you might want to repaint it so the white matches from the front to the rear,
