1983 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Additional Info:
Very rare and original 1983 Toyota pickup long bed SR5 4x4 with 99400 ORIGINAL miles. This truck is Mint. Originally from Arizona the first owner obviously really loved this truck and took excellent care of it. He traded it in 2009 with 94k miles. It then came to colorado and has been stored inside as a collector car and driven only 5k miles since then. This is the loaded SR5 model which included Bucket seats, carpeted floors/lower door panels/cab back, 3 spoke steering, intermediate wipers, wood dash, tachometer and trip meter, oil voltage pod, and SR5 strips. In addition it came with Factory AC, Power steering, Tilt wheel, window package, and chrome package.
Always garaged. There is NO RUST on this truck, the original white paint still has a deep shine. There are only a few blemishes to keep this from being 10/10 (see pics). Absolutely no paint work or body work EVER. The frame and undercarriage are CLEAN. The bed is Mint with factory seam sealer still in place (little dirty in the pics), the paint is near perfect. The Body is straight! Factory decals are still in place but are starting to peel at the edges. Original wheels are in perfect condition with original center caps and original lug nuts still in place.
The interior is as close to perfect as it can be. Seats show basically no wear, and are in great condition. Dash is free of cracks. Carpet is clean but has lost some of the deep blue color in places and has lightened up a bit. Original tools and owners manuals are in place. All the gauges and lights work as they should. Headliner is perfect. Radio was replaced with Alpine head unit and speakers. The center console is aftermarket, but fits well and serves its purpose. Very clean all around, steering wheel and pedals look new.
22R motor runs strong and starts with ease. 5-speed transmission shifts smooth, clutch feels good. There are no leaks anywhere. All emissions components are in place. It will do 75 all day long with one finger on the wheel. It drives very well for such an old machine. 4wd works great.
This is a true time capsule. I have people stop me all the time asking about it. It is truly one of a kind. Obviously the truck is not perfect, it has a nice patina and shows very well but not a show truck. Although i do get told i did a great job on the restoration!
If you have any questions Please ask. You are more than welcome to come see the truck in person. Please do not bid if you do not intend to buy! Cash ONLY. Local pick up preferred but i will work with you on getting it shipped.SOLD AS IS WHERE IS.
