Junkyard Find: 1984 Toyota Cressida

We've seen this '80, this '82 this '84, this '86 wagon, this '87, this '89, this '90, and this '92 in this series so far (plus some bonus Michael Bay Edition Tokyo Taxis, courtesy of Crabspirits), and my recent trip to Los Angeles (during which I shot this optioned-up, rust-free '82 Subaru BRAT) gives us this once-gorgeous two-tone '84.

Now the junkyard can't get 10 bucks for them, in spite of the endorsement in an Ice-T song.
