Really? I never heard of a Turbo 4Runner. Is this a diesel?

No it is not diesel, and I think they only made them for 86-87. It says special edition on the rear gate but that is all I really know. I had it towed to my brothers and will begin to work on it tomorrow.
I am a rx-7 guy so this is new stuff to me, I just picked it up for cheap.
It is a 22ret, yes. But guess what?, I got the truck home and inspected it further to find out that when they told me the engine had been replaced, it was replaced with a normal 22re!!
What a pisser, I bought it because of its rarity. I bought it from my dads friend so can't give it back, my fault for not checking closer. Anyway front end damage is more than I can deal with so I will probably sell it and stick with my rx-7's, thanks for your reply's guys.

The fact that it has body damage is a good thing...you don't care if you run it into rocks. Lots of people like the 1st gens because it's still built like a truck, the 22re is bulletproof and the shell is removable. Build it up for off road and wheel it like it was born to do.
