base 1985 Mazda B2000 pickup




Spotted a B2000 like this yesterday in the boneyard of the local Toyota dealership (pic is not the actual truck). Base, base truck with a short box, not the fancy long box shown. And manual trans! Man, I love these old little Toyota/Nissan/Mazda trucks, but they all rusted away long ago. It's been at least 5 years since I've seen another one on the road around here.

I'm tempted to call about it -- I have ZERO need for such a vehicle, but I'm sure it's under $1.5k. Thought it might be worth picking up to tidy up and re-sell.

Oh but probably not rated 35 highway, eh?
