Another how much is it worth thread: '85 4runner

I've been looking for a clean 1985 4runner to build up but they're hard to come by.

I found a white 1985 with a tan interior but it has the following problems:

Does not run. The owner doesn't know why. He hasn't started it up in over a year.

246k miles.

There is no rear bumper.

Minimal rust but there is a bondo job on the passenger side rear corner.

He's asking $2500.

I mostly just want those snake skin seat covers.

I have a nice 100 that I've been building up but would like an addition truck that's lighter, narrower, and better on gas for tighter more technical trails. Hence '85 4Runners.

So what do you guys think it's worth? It seems like a new engine is around $1000-800.

I get the feeling I should know you... but honestly I'm drawing a blank here.

edit: OMG I just remembered (sucks getting old). Tan truck. Plenty of factory rust. I remember now. I had the pleasure of sitting under your truck unbolting the parted driveshaft while you held your foot on the brakes to keep it from rolling over me. But, I seem to remember there WERE a few obstacles that I crawled thru and you had to take a slightly different line.

SR5 is a loose spec, I think mine is technically an SR5 but it also has crank windows. Well, HAD.

LOL, yup, you got it! But then I run 33s, so you had an advantage! Hope to see you on the trail again, sir! Best of luck with your resto!
