1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5

Up for sale is my 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5.  This is the last year in US market the solid front axle was available. and the first year that fuel injection was available.  This has both!
I bought this in November of 2011 after many years of looking for the one I wanted.  I am getting married next month. so I need to move on to something that sleeps two comfortably.  
The previous owner was also a Toyota enthusiast and had flown to Florida to buy it in 2010.  He didn't want any surprises on his 1483 mile drive back to Wisconsin so he change all of the fluids (brake. trans. transfer. differential. and engine oil). and replaced the entire cooling system (radiator. hoses. water pump. Toyota 2 stage thermostat. and belts).  U-joints were greased regularly. as well as all grease-able steering components.  This truck was originally white. but is now red.  The paint job looks good for a seven year old paint job. and still shines.  The body has over 220. 00 miles and the previous owner told me the engine was rebuilt about 40k miles ago.  The legendary 22re is durable. and has plenty of power.  I am getting 23mpg on the highway. and 18 in the city.  It always starts. runs. and brakes as it should.  
Cool options on this truck are the power steering. power antenna. power windows. and factory cruise control. They all work!  The rear window works with the key in the tailgate AND the switch on the console.  The factory (non-leaking) sunroof is there. with the factory removable sun shade.  Altimeter and inclinometer on the dash all still work.  There are two things missing:  the key pad (outer) part of the passenger door window switch. and the shifter boots.  (I wanted to source original factory parts. but haven't made time or need for those two things.  I do have the passenger window switch. and the master on the driver door controls the passenger window anyway. )  The rear window defroster does not work because the wires in the glass are worn.  I haven't cared to source new glass. because this doesn't get driven in the winter.  The complete air conditioning system is there. but doesn't work.  I'd guess it needs to be charged. but again. you don't need A/C when you can roll your back window down. so I haven't cared about it.  The heat works great and the optional REAR heat blows hot too!
This beauty is 27 years old. so you're not getting a perfect truck.  There are a few little dings but no major dents or damage.  Rust is starting over the rear wheel arches. but no holes.  The paint shines nicely as the two previous owners took good care of the exterior and interior.  (The previous owner's wife had a newer Jeep Cherokee. he made her park that outside. so that his Toyotas could stay in the garage!  I take this out on weekends mostly. and it stays in a barn when not in use. )  The frame is not rusty at all!
It has the factory W56 5-speed manual transmission that shifts nice and smooth with a firm clutch pedal.  It also has newer Monroe sense-trac shocks and rides pretty nice for a solid axle truck.  It has the removable factory top with factory roll bar.  I have never taken the top off.  The rear bumper is custom made by the previous owner. and if you look you will notice that it is awesome.  It is currently rolling on matching Michelin LTX all season tires that are in good shape.  There is a spare that I keep in the rear.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as this is also for sale locally.  If you have a 4x4 Tacoma that is not red or rusty. but IS an xtra cab or crew cab. I will consider trades (plus cash on my end if your truck is worth it).
You don't see many of these. and certainly not in this condition.  Here is your opportunity to own a classic 4x4!

*EDIT: the Autocheck is showing a 2005 accident.  I cannot tell looking at it or underneath it.  It drives straight. and I haven't had any problems.
