Or, could be a “manual swap candidate” once the 2JZ goes in...

There’s a similar vehicle in a lot near my house. It’s been there for 8 years, rotting away. So sad.

Glad this one is going to a good home!

I’d love to know what you paid, my buddy just STOLE one of these and is refurbishing it.

dayum, 135k miles? I can’t even imagine the amount of padding the seats will still have. Some I’d guess...which is more than mine. of cour se the bummer is that you will still probably have to change the head gasket eventually.

Lockers?

yep just rolled over 135k, the lowest mileage one I’ve seen. driver seat (and steering wheel) is pretty well past it but the previous owner bought high quality covers for both. everything else is top-notch.

No lockers - nice to have, but I’ll never use them.

I paid well below market for this mileage/condition, I’ll tell you that. the seller was actually gifted the car via an estate, so he didn’t have anything into it (in terms of a purchase price). That being said, he did about $2-3k worth of maintenance after taking possession, so that was nice.

I’ve heard a few LS parts from the same vintage will fit this truck, may need to connect with you at some point!

Mine just rolled over 320k this week. I can tell you I'm jealous of the interior condition and I haven't even seen it yet
