Followthedolphin Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 FOR SALE 1984 Toyota Dolphin, 205,000, 5 speed manual, 22R. As a traveling musician, my Dolphin has provided me with a reliable, economical mode of transport and a roof over my head for the past 6 years. I am originally from the UK, and it is time for me to return to the UK and be closer to my parents. Unfortunately, just as I was about to travel on my last tour to Utah the head gasket blew. I don’t have the funds to repair it and then sell it so I am hoping someone would be interested in a vehicle that could be easily repaired. She is currently in Salida, Colorado. Body work needs attention, some seals need to be redone, but currently not leaking. Lower side shirt is missing but I have it inside the vehicle. Needs refitting. Recently replaced windshield, nice and clear. 5 speed manual gear box. 22r engine 6 bolt rear hubs Spare carburetor. I meant to replace the carb and seals and still have the replacement. Replacement steering rack box. Needs replacing. I have the unit just needs to be put in. 1 year ago put in airbags at the back to level out the ride height. New rear bumper with hitch 2 years ago. Fitted with 100w solar and control panel, supplies 125aH coach battery, connected to 1000w invertor Rear kitchen unit fitted with wood burning stove, stainless steel cladding with heatproof backing cladding. Wood burning stove is amazing in the winter. Can cook on it or just use for heating with a thermo coupled fan. Fridge needs to be secured in place but works on electric shore power or propane. New horizontal propane tank with gauge Propane stove top, 2 burner, one burner needs reconnecting @5 gallon water tank, runs to outside shower. I haven’t used the bathroom, or the hot water heater that runs on propane. The hot water tank leaks so I bypassed it, and just used cold water. Rear tires replaced 5 years ago, still have good tread Front tires replaced 3 years ago, great tread. I don’t have the title, but I will provide a signed REG 227 Application for duplicate or paperless title, you can perform a title transfer with a reg227. So, I’m looking for a buyer that either needs parts or hopefully is looking for a project vehicle. At this point, I don’t know what she’s worth. Make me an offer, knowing that you are supporting a musician in a pickle. If you want to see my music, search for followthedolphin on YouTube, no spaces.

REALLYRURAL Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I purchased a 1983 Dolphin today from a salvage yard and drove it home. It needs new floor pans on pass and drivers side and attention paid to the lights. Other than that it runs and drives like a singer sewing machine that is well oiled. This is the first time I have driven a toyhome with a 4 speed. It was a complete hoot to drive. Just stick your foot in it until it starts to rap and shift. My 91 with the 6 cylinder is not anywhere close to fun to drive as one of these four bangers. Thanks for all the pictures. I can use them as a reference. Please post more pics of underneath and engine bay if you can. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
