Sell a Classic Toyota
Classic Toyota here means modern classics — above all the old pickups, which we want in any year from the seventies through the nineties — plus Land Cruiser, Supra, Celica, and MR2.

Old Toyota pickups: any year, genuinely wanted
This is the headline, and we mean it literally: Toyota pickups from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s are high-demand cars for us in any year, not just the famous ones. The classic Toyota pickup page goes into detail. Four-wheel-drive and SR5 trucks are the most wanted specification — four-wheel drive is the number one thing we look for on a classic truck — but a two-wheel-drive work truck that spent its life hauling is still a car we want to inspect and price.
Most buyers overlook these trucks entirely, which is exactly why so many are still sitting in driveways and side yards across the Central Valley. If yours is complete — engine and transmission present, body not rusted through — its age is not a problem and neither is the fact that it has not run in years. Do not assume a tired old Toyota truck is worth very little before an inspection; equally, condition still decides the number, and a worn truck is priced as a worn truck.
Land Cruiser: the one Toyota that goes all the way back
Everywhere else on this page, classic Toyota starts in the seventies. The exception is the Land Cruiser, which we buy in all generations, from the original FJ40 through to today's trucks. FJ40, FJ55, FJ60 and FJ62, FJ80, and the 100 and 200 Series are all wanted, and four-wheel drive is a given that matters on every one of them.
The car side is led by the Supra, especially the MkIII and MkIV, and by the first-generation 4Runner of 1984 to 1989, the pickup's removable-top sibling. Behind them sit the Celica and the MR2 — genuine modern classics, wanted in honest condition, with the best specification and the most complete cars naturally worth the most. Our classic car hub explains how all of them are priced.
Condition and completeness on a Toyota classic
Toyota's reputation for lasting is why these cars survive — and why so many have very high miles and hard use behind them. That is fine. We price what the inspection finds: completeness first, then body and frame condition, then originality and specification, then running state. A complete pickup with a dead engine can still be bought, because these engines can be overhauled; a truck picked apart for parts, or rusted through, cannot.
Paperwork on older Toyotas is often thin — a truck passed between family members, a title lost years ago. Tell us the situation honestly when you get in touch and we will explain the path before anything is scheduled. There is no charge for the inspection, pickup is free, and you are paid at pickup if you accept the offer.
How selling a classic works here
Step 1
Tell us about your classic
One short form — year, model, and what is there and what is not. Photos help: the whole car, the engine bay, the interior, and any rust you know about.
Step 2
We inspect it in person
We come to the car and price what we can see — completeness, body and rust, spec, and documentation — not a formula. The offer follows the inspection, and it is guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches.
Step 3
We pick it up, you get paid
Free pickup in the Fresno–Clovis area. You sign, get paid at pickup, and hand over the keys and title — we handle the DMV paperwork after the purchase.
The classic exception: a complete classic that does not run — even one with a dead engine — can still be bought, because pre-computer cars can be overhauled and restoration is part of the process. Incomplete, or rusted through, is where we have to say no.
Classic seller questions
Do you really buy Toyota pickups from any year?
Yes — 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s pickups are high demand for us across the whole run. Four-wheel-drive and SR5 trucks are the most wanted, but complete two-wheel-drive trucks are bought too. Condition sets the price, not the year alone.
Which Land Cruisers do you buy?
All generations — FJ40, FJ55, the 60 and 80 Series, and the 100 and 200 Series through to the modern trucks. It is the one Toyota line where we go back to the very beginning.
My Toyota has extremely high miles. Does that end it?
No. High miles are expected on these cars and are priced in the inspection. Completeness and body condition matter more to the offer than the odometer reading.
What about Celica and MR2?
Both are wanted modern classics. The strongest money follows the best specification and condition, as with every classic here, but an honest, complete car of either model is worth an inspection.
