1985 Toyota Tercel SR5 4WD - $7,000 (Camas)

https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/fairview-1985-toyota-tercel-sr5-4wd/7197108174.html

Thank you for checking out my 1985 Toyota Tercel SR5 4WD (AL25)

This vehicle has been my daily driver for the last two years. It has carried my family up and over the Cascade mountains, to the beach, and through the woods. It has been reliable, economical, and amazingly capable in inclement weather. There is an avid community of owners online with helpful resources and encouragement.

Purchased in 2018 with 123,000 miles from its prior owner on craigslist. The car has lived on the west coast for its whole life and is free of any serious rust. Finding missing pieces and incrementally improving this car has been my hobby. Few come up for sale in this shape; please ask any questions you have.

The car has broken down on me once in my 15,000 miles of commuting; I lost compression on my way home from work. I had always intended to get a more powerful engine swapped into the vehicle and used this failure as an excuse to do so. The 4WD system engages and works well, lacking an additional differential the Tercel puts equal power to all four wheels. The transmission features a 6th extra-low gear that can only be engaged when in 4WD and brings the gear down to a 'try and stop me' 17.6:1 final drive ratio.

I was attracted to this car for its boxy 1980’s style. The argyle seat ('85 only) and geometric headliner patterns give it some unironic uniqueness. Any modifications that I have made can be undone in an afternoon or two.

Decals: I worked with Upper Left Coast Wraps to design and install the decals. They are quality automotive vinyl and look as good today as they did when installed. The decals are one of the things people have most commented on and enjoyed, and personally they make me smile. I removed the round sticker from the roof rack; the P/N/W decal from the rear hatch; and the club sticker from the rear window.

LED Lighting: Philips Ultinon LED light bulbs were installed in the dome lights, turn signals, running lights, brakes lights, reverse light, and side marker light indicators in 2018.Yellow LED Fog lights have mounted on the front bumper. On/Off button located near center console.

Cline-o-meter: Also called an “Inclinometer” was scavenged and installed from a 1983. Mounted on the center of the dash, this auxiliary instrument was standard in SR5’s for the 83 and 84 production years but found itself removed from the 1985 SR5. Cluster informs the driver of both the side-to-side and front-to-back angle of the vehicle; additionally there is an indicator light for when 4WD is engaged.

Roof Rack: Gutter mount towers includes keys. Cheap cargo basket has been useful for my kids bikes.

All season wheels: 14” alloy ‘Triangles’ 4x100 bolt pattern from a 1980s Toyota MR2 (AW11). Kumho Solus 195/70R14 tires that were installed new in Spring 2020. Due to their size there is minor inner fender rubbing at full lock turn; I just don't (could be hammered out).

Winter/snow wheels: 13” alloy ‘Waffles’ 4x100 bolt pattern. These are the optional factory alloy for the car. Mounted new in Fall 2019 are Nokian Nordman 175/70R13 studdable (un-studded at this time).

Backup/Dirt wheels: Stock factory 13” steel wheels with unmatched tires that hold air but should be replaced.

Current Swapped Engine: Toyota 4AC, 71HP; from a mid-80’s Toyota Corolla. Intended to rebuild this engine, however I needed it back on the road so in it went. The engines mileage is unknown. The HP gain was VERY noticeable in the performance of the car. Direct swap with 3AC, oil pan/pickup and everything from original block.

Original Engine: Factory Toyota 3AC, 63HP: Original to car; lost compression at 132k miles. Block is complete and has not been diagnosed or rebuilt; included in sale.

Carburation: Authentic Weber 32/36 electronic choke carburetor installed new 2020. Several non-essential emissions related components were removed/bypassed at this time. The original carburetor and air cleaner are included with the sale.

Front spacer lift: Machined 1” aluminum strut spacers from a fellow Tercel owner in Canada provide 1". Spacers require no modification and can easily be removed if you would like to return to factory height.

Rear shock lift: Monroe MA700 air shocks in rear of the vehicle. With no cargo or rear seat passengers I keep it the shocks at 20-25 pounds and have observed a lift of 1 ½” from stock. No modifications were required; return to factory is equally easy.

Air Shock Control: The air shocks are kept at pressure and adjusted as needed by an Airlift 25804 on-board compressor. Compressor is located in jack storage; controller mounted under glove box.

I am a hobbyist first and foremost not a mechanic, I made no attempt to complete work I was unsure of. I worked with an off-duty mechanic and Toyota enthusiast whom I have befriended or need be took the vehicle to an area shop.I have enjoyed building this car out, and I hope you like it.

It is currently registered and insured in the state of Washington; Includes a clean Washington State Vehicle title with no lien/loans and Bill of Sale.

I still find plenty of interesting stuff on CL. I think the fee has helped reduce the amount duplicates and cross-posts. This one always comes up with something interesting to look at during conference calls.

FB marketplace is where its at these days, only problem is you have to deal with a lot of mouth breathers.

[varg]

I don't know if you have to pay a fee around here but the cool old cars at non-silly prices have mostly dried up and it's just a bunch of beat to hell 2000s carbage every time I'm on there.

[roguetoaster]

Too quiet here, guys. I guess no one's scouring CL anymore.

Since the listing fee happened local CL has been dead for anything approaching fun or interesting. It's only $5, but I suppose people are just that cheap, or they really want to deal with idiot book.

1967 BMW NK 2000 - CN $19,000 (Victoria)

https://victoria.craigslist.org/cto/d/victoria-south-1967-bmw-nk-2000/7200600460.html

Price is in Canadian dollars.

From BMW Archiv:

“The BMW 2000 VIN 1326213 was manufactured on January 10th, 1967 and delivered on March 6th, 1967 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Tampico, paint code 005.”

This 1967 BMW 2000 Neue Klasse spent time in Utah and Seattle, where it was purchased by the seller in 2010, and relocated to Canada in 2020. Finished in gold over a brown interior, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Work performed between 2011 and 2015 included a rebuild of the original transmission by Metric Mechanic, installation of a rebuilt steering box, reupholstering the interior, and replacing the water pump, radiator, thermostat, fuel sender, exhaust system, and more.

I installed European-style headlights along with replacement taillights, stock-style mirrors, and rubber seals for the windshield, trunk, and front and rear door wing seals.

The front brake calipers were rebuilt and the rotors were replaced along with the emergency brake cable, rear drum brakes, and cylinders. The the rubber suspension bushings have been replaced, along with the control arms, idler arm, and center link.

I reupholstered the interior in brown BMW vinyl with the original matching door panels and (already installed) carpets. Coco mats from a BMW 2002 line the footwells, and I added additional stock BMW sound deadening materials to the floor and hood. A replacement rear parcel shelf, NOS b-pillar trim pieces, and stock rearview mirror have also been fitted, along with three-point seat belts up front and period Klippan lap belts in the rear. Included is the original Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio.

The Solex carburetor was rebuilt in April 2020, the crankcase pulley shaft was re-sleeved in 2017, and the water pump, radiator, and water lines were also replaced.

No lowballers or tire-kickers need respond.

The price includes many hard-to-find spare parts.

Interesting find. He's got the headlight adjuster knob and front/rear fog lights - nice! Price too steep for me though.

"Really nothing negative to declare "

That rust is just the tip!


1991 BMW 325i - $4,500

https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/...194124301.html



Here's our very clean E30. We've owned and maintained it for the past nine years as a weekend/once-a-month driver. Really nothing negative to declare - the cooling system is sound; new front suspension; new exhaust, tires, battery, radiator; timing belt and fan clutch were about 15k miles ago. The odometer's broken, but I'd guess we're hovering around 210k miles.

There's a bit of rust on the panel behind the driver side front wheel, pictured.

Cash only - thank you.

I'm not sure if this counts since I'm posting it, but this is available in my area.

edit: apologize for the massive picture. I'm not sure how to make it smaller.

That's a pretty good price for a driver - especially if it's rust free.
