    1976 Toyota Hilux Long Bed
    A true piece of history. This survivor truck is very original - right down to the original rubber floor mat and windshield. It still has the original inspection tags with Japanese writing!. Powered by a 20R engine, Automatic trans. The dash has NEVER been cut out for a radio! And the floor board have NO rust!. The paint is all original. The GOOD - it start, runs, drives, steers, brakes. Surface rust only - mosty from 33 years in the Mojave desert. The floors are rust free. 99% of every thing is still attatched and original. Odometer reads 84xxx miles.

    The BAD - tires are cracked and split, seat fabirc is cracked and split (foam is still good), hoses are old, heater has been taken out, but is included (in a box). The desert rodents have been inside and did some chewing damag, but wire harness has been repaired. Due to tire condition it must leave on a trailer.

    The RARE -I have the original PINK slip (before the green title), window sticker, sales brochure, key, etc. Has not been registered since 1998. Should be out of CA DMV. For that reason CA buyers -it will be sold as a PARTS TRUCK - no SMOG Cert and no back fees will be paid by seller. Will include the PINK to do what you want with it.

    Got this a few years ago in hopes of restoring it from an old man that bought it new from Pomona Toyota in 1976. He took very good care of it, hence the great condition.

    You will not find a cleaner or more original truck that this one. Great rat-resto project. $2250 OBO- Cash sale - no trades.
    Truck is located in S CA near Palm Springs. While I can sell this locally, I would rather have a collector or someone who truly appreciates these old trucks buy it and keep it. Will work with serious out of state buyers.

    Weekend Special

    The auto tranny is acting up in Reverse - looks like the rear drum O-ring is bad. So... this weekend only it can be yours for only $1200! Used trannys are going for $300 in S CA. But on Monday I will order a rebuild kit and then the price goes back up to $2200 once installed.
    New Craigslist ad -> http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/1299869924.html

    Here is another one for sale - not mine for $2100 -> http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1287097388.html

    Damn, I'm about 3 months too late. I already bought a 94. I love that body style, though.
