Somewhat rare, but this is the second one I've seen for sale in a month or so. The other one was out west. One of the comments was from a Toyota salesman at the time and he never saw one at the dealer he worked at. Whether or not a rusty example, even if it includes a parts truck, is worth that asking price is debatable.
I own one, and its for sale as well. They were only available for the 86 and 87 model years, as a stop gap until a V6 could be fitted. It's a lightning bolt compared to my non-turbo 22RE 4Runner

Link to your truck for sale?
My next door neighbor had one for years, from the showroom floor to the pile of rust in the yard. His was an extended cab. I almost dropped when I saw the Turbo badge.

Continental drift seems fast compared to a 22RE powered anything.

Really cool animals if you have ever climbed around one. Nissan twin piston calipers and lsd’s from the factory. My brother had a rough one but it was cool.
/\ He means nissin 4 pistons calipers /\
I think they imported around 1000 total. I had a 4x4 with a worn out 22re, yes continental drift sounds about right. On a good day maybe 50hp.

Muchos gracias! Still want one of these...
I had an '86 4x4 with the carb'd 22R from 1990 to 1998. No, acceleration was nothing to write home about, but I don't remember it being particularly slow for the era.
For a couple years in college I worked the counter at a national parts chain and would always jokingly ask the Toyota PU guys if it had a turbo when navigating the engine selection list. It was always good for a laugh....until one day a guy answered yes. Everyone at the shop went out in the parking lot to see the mythical beast. We always thought it was an error in the system.
