Toyota Van (1986)
for sale

Price: US $2,500.00

Description:

This auction is for two, 2WD White Panel Cargo Toyota Vans. . This is hard for me but I think it is time. . I have owed a Toyota Van continuously starting in 89 with an 85 window cargo. I am the second owner of both vans. The inside pictures show the 86 and the last two outside pictures are of the 87 parts vehicle.
I bought the 87 in 93 and the 86 in 2005 because the 87 was starting to show a good bit of rust. I drove the 87 from California and flew to Atlanta and drove the 86 home. The 86 was only on the road for one Ohio winter and has lived in a garage most of it's life with me. It spent one winter stored outside and has a bit of surface rust just starting to appear on the bottom edge of the back door. It is currently stored inside. The 86 has less rust than most cars a fifth of it's age in this part of the country. The underside is very clean and it has only a couple of small places that are starting to rust. The 86 ran but would start to overheat in about 15 mins if you let it. I haven't ever let it overheat. I pulled over as soon as the temperature started to rise and poured water on the rad and then topped the water back off. I have tried a new water pump and cap but I think it is the head gasket and the oil appeared to have signs of water in it. The 86 has been stored for a few years but I have started it and moved it around from time to time. I drove up the street and back about a year ago and I suspect you might be able to do the same before transfer. It has a new battery and good rubber and has never been wrecked, The front end is tight. I do not consider the vehicle to be in current running condition. The engine will need work and the alternator may have an issue. The 86 is a 5 speed stick. The 86 has 140K it and spent two thirds of it's life down south.
The 86 has 4 gray cloth bucket seats with arm rests. The seats were from a wrecked factory custom Toyota van. I had them in the 87 first and moved them to the 86. I never bothered to install the 2 back seats in the 86. I had them installed in the 87. The two back seats are captain chairs and have locking swivel options. One picture shows the back interior of the 86 and that is the original carpet and it is in mint condition because it always had another carpet and pad on top of it. I did notice when I took the picture that the back door hatchback latch did not want to work. This is a common problem and I replaced at least one of them at some time in the past.
The second van is a 87 2WD White Panel Cargo with Auto Transmission, Dual air and California emissions options. Vin JT4Y28V7H5054172 The air stopped working around 2003. This was my daily driver for many years and I parked it when I bought the 86. It was running well when I parked it and had a tight front end. I haven't tried to start the 87 in about 9 years. The last time I drove it was after it had been stored for about a year inside and once I started it the power steering line broke and started leaking. I suspect it would start again but probably would not move without some encouragement because it has been sitting outside for the last several years. The body on the 87 has heavy rust. The back door has heavy rust and two of the doors have a good bit of rust. The engine did not over heat or get hot when I parked it and it still has anti freeze in it. I never ran water in the 87. Currently the fan is removed as I tried it on the 86. The 87 has 190K on it and is mainly a parts vehicle. Motor and alternator should be sound, bumpers are in nice shape.
I would recommend you rent a tow dolly or trailer to move the 86. You could probably drive it a five or ten miles but I wouldn't recommend it. The 87 may require a tow truck or a trailer with a good winch. Both Vehicles are sold AS IS with no warranty. I may also consider letting you part out the 87 over a two of days as long as you leave a rolling chassis that can be towed. Both vans have clean titles and I have a complete shop manual.
