If it was 4WD that could make a great hunting buggy.

OUCH
I hope everyone was okay from that...

Reminds me of a friend of mine who got smacked in her new Echo. Some guy was talking on a cell phone and smashed into her (at a red light) so hard that it affected the next 7 or so cars ahead of her. She had physical therapy for a long time and was lucky she only had the injuries she did - cracked vertebra, neck injuries, etc.

He said he was only going 45.
45 my butt!

To bad it's not 4wd and V8, I would have bought it.

My guess as to what happened someone backed it off the car carrier but cut the wheels and drove off the side

Do you think maybe a little bondo and elemers glue, haha

Be interesting to see what it sells for. Still a few $ in parts. I was looking for just a switch for the dash to fit in one of the blanks and dealer wanted $65.00

If someone has the space, that would be a great parts car. It might be worth jotting down the serial # so it doesnt pop up later on some salvaged 4Runner. It would come back as "clean" on carfax from the description!

did you guys bother to read the ebay add? It is so hilarious.

QUOTE FROM THE EBAY ADD
The vehicle's body is completely damaged and the rear section of the frame behind the axle is also damaged and has been cut away so the vehicle could be driven in our lot.
QUOTE FROM THE EBAY ADD
It also will come with a clear South Carolina title!!

I'll bet that 4.0 will only fit a automatic tranny, and maybe only the new 4 speed auto.

But there's also, new seats, rims, tires, etc.

The price won't stay at $500

Somebody...

lost their job over that one and maybe their to boot! Poor wittle 4Runner...never had a chance to roam free!

I'd be surprised if that rig didn't end up in front of some local high school with a big sign saying "This is what smoking CRACK does for you when you are at work!"
