1978 Cressida

Found this little gem in the "as-is" lot at the local Ford dealer. Picked her up for $200 and drove it home.

$200?!?!? It has to be worth more than that! What a steal. Can we get more pics? It looks nearly mint from what I can see.

That dog's like "what the fu...."

Sweet ! I love the fender mounted mirrors . More pics please.

It's not quite mint, but it's in excellent shape. It needs front brakes, but other than that it drives great. The dealer took it in on trade without even seeing it, so I know they had nothing in it. When I found it, it wouldn't start and was covered in this black "stuff" from where it had been sitting under some trees for a while. We jumped it off and it idled great, so we just drove it home. . Gonna be a little project for my Dad and me. I'll get you some more pics when I get it waxed. Here are a couple as it sat on the dealer lot.

That's in great shape for a back-lot find! What does the interior look like? What engine is in there?

You found that at the ford dealer here in town? I noticed you are in boone. It honestly doesn't surprise me there is all kinds of stuff hidden in these mountains haha. Awesome find though!

Interior is in really good shape. The dash is cracked right down the middle and the top of the rear seats are dry rotted. It has nice seat covers that have protected most of the seat area though. It has the 2.6L

Heck yeah man! They just assumed that it was a POS and pretty much gave it away. I can't wait to take it to the Toyota dealership and show it to them!
