NO RESERVE AUCTION!!  BID TO BUY!!

 

‘87 Toyota Pick-up

 

2 Wheel Drive

 

Regular cab

 

22R engine  (4 cylinder)  (known to be EXTREMELY Durable & Long-Lasting!)

 

Automatic transmission

 

Approx 246K miles

 

Brand New carburetor installed in late 2013

 

New exhaust (from Catalytic-converter back)

 

Runs great!!

 

I drove it from NE Tennessee (via Chattanooga, and Atlanta) to SE Georgia with no problems.

Got 25 MPG!! (doing 70mph).

 

Transmission has a “stuck” shift solenoid (I hear that this is common item), but it shifts fine by simply letting off the accelerator pedal slightly to initiate the shift.  Prior owner drove it like this for several years.

 

Probably could use a new set of tires.  (Still plenty of tread, but they are old & rubber seems to be a little hard.  Slight vibration felt at 50mph.  Vibration goes away at speeds either above or below 50mph.  Guessing that this would be solved by a set of new tires.)

Tires are P205/70R14

Goodyear VIVA 2

1306 date stamp on passenger’s front & driver’s rear  (manufactured 13th week of 2006)

0506 on passenger’s rear  (manufactured 5th week of 2006)

3705 on driver’s front  (manufactured 37th week of 2005)

Factory Rims:  T14x5.5-JJ

 

Paint looks pretty good.  

Looks like it was repainted at one point in time but it was a very good repaint.  

No sign of any accidents.

Some peeling of the clearcoat on the hood.

A few small dings on the hood and the roof (might be from hail?).

& a few scratches & small dings here and there.

 

Bed is solid.

Has a few small rust spots along the bed-to-skirt seam (very common for this year).

Also has a couple of “rust bubbles on the tailgate. (please see pictures)

Bed has the factory double wall sides & prior owner has applied a spray-on or roll-on bed lining material (lining is peeling in a few spots).

 

Truck cab, doors, front fenders, & hood all have ZERO rust!

 

All of the glass is Toyota original & in great shape!

 

One rear tail light is cracked, but it is all there & works fine.

 

Chrome has some minor pitting.

 

Nice interior!  Bucket seats are in great shape!  Carpets could use cleaning (a few spills).  Dash has a few cracks on the top (these could be hidden with a dash pad or “topper”).

 

Gas gauge seems to work, but it tends to be inaccurate when the gas tank level gets below 1/4-1/2 tank.  Tank holds approx 12.5 gallons of gas.

 

Interior light works intermittently.  Guessing that it either needs a new bulb or might be a loose connection.

 

A/C is all there.  Prior owner told me that it works, but that it needs to be recharged.

 

Great truck.  Has been very well maintained.  Very solid & reliable.

 

Vehicle History Report is CLEAN!!

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.

Why Toyota's fuel cell play is one big green gamble

Mon, Feb 3 2014

Imagine going to the ballet on Saturday evening for an 8 pm performance. The orchestra begins warming up shortly before the show, but it turns out the star performer isn't ready at the appointed time. The orchestra keeps playing, doing its best to keep the audience engaged and, most importantly, in the building. It keeps this up until the star finally shows and is ready to dance ... which turns out to be ten years later. That's a Samuel Beckett play. It's also how many observers, analysts, alt-fuel fans and alt-fuel intenders feel about the arrival of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) – the few of them who are still in the building, that is. Toyota's hydrogen development timeline rivals that of the US space program. In fact, within the halls of Toyota alone, research on FCVs has been going on for nearly 22 years, meaning that one company's development timeline for FCVs rivals that of the US space program – it was 1945 when Werner von Braun's team began re-assembling Germany's World War II V2 rockets and figuring out how to launch them into space and it wasn't until 1969 when a man set landing gear down on that sunlit lunar quarry. The development of the atom bomb only took half as long, and that's if we go all the way back to when Leo Szilard patented the mere idea of it, in 1934. Carmakers didn't give up on hydrogen in spite of the public having given up on carmakers ever making something of it, so there was a good chance that hydrogen criers announcing the mass-market adoption of periodic chart element number two one would eventually be right. Now is that time. And Toyota, not alone in researching FCVs but arguably having done the most to keep FCVs in the news, isn't even going to be first to market. That honor will go to Hyundai, surprising just about everyone at the LA Auto Show with news of a hydrogen fuel cell Tucson going on sale in the spring. The other bit of thunder stolen: while Toyota's talking about trying to get the price of its offering down to something between $50,000 and $100,000, Hyundai is pitching its date with the future at a lease price of $499 per month ($250 more than the lease price of a conventional Tucson), free hydrogen and maintenance, and availability at Enterprise Rent-A-Car if you just want to try it out. We've seen and driven Toyota's offering and we all know its success doesn't depend on cross-shopping, showroom dealing and lease sweeteners.
