Anyone in the Fredricksburg,VA area?

Anyone from around the Fredricksburg,VA/DC area want to look at a car for me? 86 Toyota Cressida is the car in question.

Chris,

Wish I could help on this one too as I'm a fan of the Cressies. My '83 is sitting patiently waiting for me to swap the new motor in...

I wish you could as well hobiercr,as you did such an excellent job on the GLC. I have never driven a Cressy,but they seem like a cool car if not really heavy. I am sure it is nothing like my Rotary cars,but I am up for a little change,and the buy-in is a lot lower than the old school Mazda's.

Keep your eyes open for one with a manual. They made them through 85 but are fairly rare. The cancer is in the normal spots on the northern cars but the motors are fairly bullet proof and pull like a train with the DOHC I-6. There seem to be many more upgrades for the MX83's than the MX63's so it shouldn't be too hard to make it a bit more fun.

Mine came stock with a LSD but not sure if they all did. I put larger sway bars on mine along with KYB Blues which REALLY tightened up the handling. IMO a very fun platform to play with.

Good luck with the car.

I would love a manual one,but they seem really rare,so I am not too opposed to an autotragic. Thsi will be a cool cruiser with the kids,and such when the weather is okay for it. When the snow it flying I will be in the Ram Wagon,or my wife's Sienna. There is an 83 I think on JNC that is manual,but it is on the Left Coast.

Maybe a little late but I'm right down the road from Fredericksburg. PM me.

I am also near by.

Nowhere close to VA, but for anybody who's looking, this is a link to a CL ad for a Cressida from Florida, now in Barrie ON (north of Toronto) with a blown headgasket. 115 k miles (US car, remember) and $1000 Cdn. (No affiliation or anything, I just looked on the Toronto CL out of curiosity, and there was a grand total of 1 Cressida.)
