Equipment
2366/97hp, 5-speed, BFG All Terrain T/A tires, chrome wheels, cassette stereo, power steering, original manuals.
Condition
Body-off restored in 2019 and carburetor rebuilt in 2020. Still crazy clean and fresh with a straight body, gleaming paint, clean chassis, and great interior. Not taken apart and redone like a Duesenberg or Ferrari, but no obvious corners were cut on this Toyota. And although it surely wasn't cheap, redoing it wasn't financially unwise, either. Yes, these pocket pickups are now worth enough to fully restore.
Market commentary
But maybe these basic mass-produced workhorses have hit their ceiling. This one sold for $31,350 at B-J Westworld in 2020 and is in essentially the same condition today. Its colors are astoundingly 80's, dull, earthy and muddy, like the vehicles of the period.
