As others have said. No telling what yr that is. later model steering wheel and ebrake. later model Squared headlight bezel. These items typically wouldn't be on a 74, regardless of origin.Is this rig one I should consider?

An import usually doesn't have an upper dash pad, or heater. They could have dash inserts, they have 4 wheel drum brakes even on later models and a lot will have the little rubber tits/bumper installed on the frt bumper and rear bumperettes like your example. Some may have a heater depending on the climate they're from. A simple overview of US cruisers would be 73 and older has a 3 speed, 1st gear is not synchronized and has a bench seat. They are more utilitarian. 74 and later usually have a synchronized 4 speed, early 74's could be a 3 speed, I think. 75 and older has 4 wheel drum brakes. 76 and later will have frt disc brakes. Toyota frt discs can be adapted on most 70's and later frt axles. There are some slight mods required. 79 and later had a bunch of updates. The tubs are completely different on the inside. Gas tank under the vehicle, can have Power steering and ac. The most important info is the vin #. The vin # is stamped on outside of the right frt frame horn in between front crossmember and bumper. This same # should be on the title and on the vin plate on the drivers side A pillar. After market power steering is not uncommon but needs to be done correctly, along with rear disc brakes. V8's need to be done correctly and are usually cheaper.
They're are plenty of post in this section that ask "What's it worth? They are probably a good learning tool, cause folks will pick out what the issues they see. Lately the pricing maybe off in those posts. I think you'll find a little more honesty from the members ads in classified section on this site.
