Background Story of this 1978 Toyota Hilux

Overview of 1978 Toyota Hilux For Sale by Owner

Over here these days, Toyota pickup trucks are typically the Tacoma or the Tundra. But in much of the rest of the world, the Toyota Hilux reigns supreme. Produced since March 1968, the Hilux was actually sold as the Toyota Pickup in the United States between 1972 and 1995, when it was a compact pickup truck. Now, it’s a mid-size pickup truck and has always used a body-on-frame construction method. The Hilux is famous for being exceptionally tough, and basically unkillable. Jeremy Clarkson tried to kill one on Top Gear and failed; even with a bent frame and myriad damage, the truck could still move under its own power. Today, we have a 1978 Toyota Hilux RN28L for sale from Fremont, California, with over 70,000 miles on the clock. It’s a second-generation example that appears to have been used quite carefully, making it a nice little classic to add to your collection.

1978 Toyota Hilux - Overview Photo

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in red, this 1978 Toyota Hilux RN28L is a bit different from the rest, which becomes apparent as soon as you see its side profile. Then, you’ll notice that it’s got two rear axles instead of one! All axles are fitted with alloy wheels, though. The two rear axles support an extended flat bed which leads us to believe that this Hilux was used as a car carrier. It’s also got branding by ‘The Turquoise Shop’, as well as some nice white details along the sides. The black interior of this 1978 Toyota Hilux RN28L is a nice period-correct time capsule, with two fabric seats, a two-spoke steering wheel and a floor-mounted shifter. The only modern touch is a newer Bluetooth-capable head unit from Dual; everything else right down to the gauges, switchgear and heater controls is stock.

Engine

Mechanically, this Hilux is powered by Toyota’s 20R 2.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-four engine, a carbureted powerplant known for reliability and long service life. Power is delivered through a four-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels only, confirming a 6×2 drivetrain configuration despite the presence of six wheels.

1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$26,500

The second-generation Toyota Celica Supra has become one of the most beloved Japanese grand touring coupes of the 1980s, blending sharp wedge-era styling, rear-wheel-drive balance, and Toyota’s renowned durability into one increasingly collectible package. This 1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type represents the enthusiast-favored performance trim, distinguished by its aggressive widebody fender flares, unique alloy wheels, and sportier personality compared to the more comfort-oriented L-Type models. Powered by Toyota’s silky 2.8-liter inline-six and backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, this example captures the analog charm of Japan’s golden era of sports coupes. Finished in the quintessential black-over-black color combination and showing 127,627 miles, this Supra presents as a compelling survivor from the era before the standalone Supra became a turbocharged icon.

1999 Toyota Crown - Passenger side

1999 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$16,999

The Toyota Crown has long represented understated executive luxury in Japan, serving as one of Toyota’s most respected domestic flagship sedans for decades. By 1999, the Crown had evolved into a refined, comfort-oriented luxury cruiser that blended legendary Toyota reliability with smooth rear-wheel-drive dynamics. This 1999 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon is a particularly appealing example, showing approximately 31,064 miles and offering the kind of low-mileage preservation that collectors and JDM enthusiasts appreciate. Powered by Toyota’s revered 3.0L naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE inline-six, this right-hand-drive Royal Saloon combines dependable engineering with authentic Japanese-market luxury. Finished in elegant Pearl White over a beige cloth interior, this Crown delivers a compelling alternative to European executive sedans, with the added intrigue of true JDM exclusivity.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$214,990

A car that enjoys legendary status with petrolheads anywhere in the world, the fourth generation Toyota Supra is one for the history books, in the G.O.A.T section. That’s Greatest Of All Time, in case you’re not well-versed with pop culture. And today, we’ve got a G.O.A.T for sale, in the shape of this 1997 Toyota Supra from Arlington, Texas. Beneath its smooth black body lines lies the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo six, and it’s been built to a Stage 3 Stroker level by Induction Performance. It’s matched by a Jack’s Transmissions-built V160 6-speed manual transmission and a host of performance goodies. This car has done a mere 32,000 miles and even has ProEFI Flex Fuel (E85) engine management on board. The current owner discloses that the car faced an off-road incident in 2015 with damage to the wheels and front lip, but has since been repaired since no structural damage was reported.

1987 Chevrolet El Camino

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$20,999

The Chevrolet El Camino occupies a uniquely American niche that no modern automaker truly replicates—a vehicle that blends passenger car comfort with pickup-style practicality in one unmistakable package. By 1987, the El Camino was in its final production year, making this example part of the model’s farewell chapter after nearly three decades of production. Showing 77,554 miles, this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino stands out with tasteful mechanical upgrades and classic cruiser appeal, finished in its factory-correct Light Chestnut Metallic/Dark Chestnut Metallic two-tone exterior over a Saddle interior. Under the hood sits a 350ci V8 upgrade paired with a host of aftermarket performance enhancements, making this a more engaging machine than a stock example. As one of the last true coupe utilities produced in America, this El Camino offers a compelling mix of nostalgia, usability, and V8-powered character.

1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,999

The Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler occupies a unique place in Jeep history as one of the brand’s most distinctive and collectible utility vehicles. Produced for just a short run between 1981 and 1986, the Scrambler combined the iconic open-air CJ formula with a longer wheelbase and pickup-style cargo bed, creating a machine that was equally at home on the trail or around town. This 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler shows approximately 218,424 miles and presents as a charismatic example finished in red over a black interior. With its removable hardtop, rugged utility upgrades, and unmistakable Jeep character, this CJ-8 represents a classic analog 4x4 from the golden era of off-road motoring.
