| I now believe that at least half the Toyota All-Tracs ever sold ended up in Colorado, based on the quantities I see in junkyards around Denver. We saw the only Camry All-Trac I've ever found anywhere last month, and the Corolla All-Trac wagons are well-represented by this '89, this '89, and now today's '89. Toyota didn't go in for crazy-futuristic dashes like so many of their 1980s Japanese competitors (unlike, for example, Subaru and Mitsubishi), but the Corolla All-Trac still got this cool center-diff control panel. Yes, back in those days you had to make decisions about car four-wheel-drive while driving. Bondo as rust repair? 213,269 miles on the clock, which is pretty good for a 1980s car. The Toyota 4A engine family was the real workhorse of its era, going into everything from AE86s to MR2s. This one appears to be the not-particularly-hot 4A-FE. The interior in this one is pretty nice, but the rust is bad by Colorado standards and it just wasn't worth keeping. Next stop, crusher!
