    Hello World-

    At 62, I'm new to this format but up to speed over 30 yrs ago on the 4 runner.

    I will keep this short-

    If you are restoring a 1985 SR5 4runnet or in need of having OEM parts on hand for the rest of your life, that will never go down in price, this is for u...

    1985 4runner rolled down the hill, went through a chain link fence, and then, the nice oak tree stopped it for me

    It was bought fully restored in 13' ish in Central CA. Everything worked.

    See pics for all parts available for,

    Interior is almost complete with most wear on the driver seat.
    Small imperfection on driver side door panel. Bout 1/16" black spot.

    Pics show rear seats folded down and have been since my oak tree friend helped me out.

    Front driver seat broke due to 105qt. Gott.

    Moon roof w/visor

    Outside

    Frame bent

    Front axle, looks good w/ string ( Egyptian way)

    Outside is toast but tailgate is in great condition.

    Doors open fine

    0 rust so cab from A pillar to b can n reused.

    And all those hard to get parts.....


    Pink in my name

    I want $10,000 for it, cuz I need it out of my world.

    I feel there is Still some meat on the bone for those resellers ( love capitalism ) that put in the effort or the individuals that have those customers in need.

    Great 4x4 for its generation . I hate to see it go.

    Thank you for reading this post.
    I will review tommorow morn for any response

    Thank you world

    Alex.

    P.S. Sorry, 40# White Sea bass no longer available

    nice . out of my mind- a level of Sticks N Stones. Teacher..............................................
    OR
    Echo's of the past- like the guy who said, those PORSCHE'S WONT BE WORTH MUCH WITH ALL THOSE vw PARTS.


    ANS #1 how my 79' 1000 KZmks2 wont be worth much later on since its a Disposable Bike. I heard the same about toyota in 88' with my 1st 85' 4x4 base pickup.

    A stripped down shell of a gate vs complete. tell me what i see..... Is this CNN, MSNBC, NPR, CBS, ABC, sayin all is good here ? One earlier post stated - The current State of America. Good show !

    As a facetious gesture, please review

    DEVO- Its a beautiful world.

    I was thinking of taking this post down, but the entertainment value is priceless. Ohers will see this, n sure am happy that I don't have much time to be on my computer. Back to reality n work world. AND THE BONUS ROUND FOR ALL White Seabass are on the chew, at the channel islands- GET SUM I'll take anyones jackpot $$$$$

    and Kudos for the young man that found one for $3000.00, for he is on the right track.

    #3000.00 for a roller + $10,000 for the not so liked offer, + $5000.00 for paint + $18000.00

    FEB. 2025 Hagerty has one in archives at $40,000.00

    With all do respect, what am I Missing ?????????????????????


    Is there a devaluation taking place i do not know of??????????

    OP don't pay attention to the haters. Too many people today are just happy paying for a 75k hybrid 4runner to go to the mall with and can't see the value of the parts in your rig, sorry for your misfortune on that one.

    I am not building a 2nd gen at the moment, but I do know just the visibly undamaged body panels and interior pieces are worth a fortune to the right buyer.

    Best of luck in finding the right buyer. If you take it apart and catalog the parts individually you may have better luck getting more money out of it.

    $3500 non-op. No one in their right mind would pay $10k for a crashed parts truck when they can be had for much less in better condition. That's just the reality of the situation.

    Mostly all stock as best as I can tolerate with the poor wiring they have
    realistically you can prob. Get 5000 from the right buyer if someone needs a full drive train. And wants some extra parts. You might be waiting a bit for that guy. I’ve been calling the wreckers and I’m getting 200 for mine this weekend to have it dragged out of here and I just put 2000 into a new engine. But it’s out of my yard and that 200 goes into a Ford F150 that runs. My time is very valuable and every day I spend off work is $600 out of my pocket. So if you want to come and pick mine up you can have it for 500 and deal with it yourself swapping all the parts and see if you can get mine running
    Best of luck

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 35 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 35yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    Parts truck…..

    I truly enjoy the fact that you cited a Hagerty value of $40,000, as if that comparable was in the same condition. Hagerty currently values a #4 at $7,000 CAD ($5,120 USD), and that #4 rating is not a crashed Pick-n-Pull special. This post is either rage bait, or you need to put the burnt spoon down and check yourself into rehab.
