Rarest of the 1st gen?

Hello all

Like the title said, what would be the rarest 1st gen factory Tacoma out there?

I would guess, double cab, 4x4, e-locker, 5 speed manual, and supercharged. Is there such a bird?

 

I don’t think any of them came supercharged from the factory...

 

My dream first gen is still a double cab 4x4 with the 6’ bed...

 

I would guess the rarest would be the single cab 3.4L V6 5 speed with the E-Locker

 

rarest would probably have to have factory sunroof

 

I think the rarest would be a 4 cylinder with an e-locker.

 

this did not ever exist i don't think
last v6 single cabs made in 1997, and locker was addon item after '98 had to take your truck back in to get installed
i chose against it because it was $2k or maybe $3k to get a swapout, if memory serves me

 

The S-Runner seems pretty rare. Otherwise there was a variety of options/packages so certain combinations might be less common than others.

 

There was just one for sale in my area. It was a 96 single cab 3.4L 5 speed with the E-Locker. Inside had all power and had a sunroof. He had the original sticker as well showing all options. It sold for $13,500, would of been cool to have, but not for that price.

 

i saw a huge RAM diesel last week that had a rear window sticker 'Real Trucks have 3 pedals'

 

i've never seen a sunroof in a single cab!
do you have pics of that?
that price don't seem bad at all!
if the rest of truck in near-excellent condition its probably worth more
let me page a vintage 1st gen expert!

Any rust free Taco on the Rust Coast.

 

Stepside S Runner

 

i have never seen one of these that i recall



one with a hood scoop ... is that factory scoop?

 

Rarest would be pretty much any 1st gen with a stepside bed.

 

That hood scoop is not stock, neither is the Supra motor it's running

 

Theres a guy on youtube dropping a 5.3 LS into one. I think hes only 2 vids into the series.

 

I know the 4runner's had a unicorn in 1997. V6 with leather, sunroof, stickshift, e-locker, and hood scoop. Apparently that's the rarest of the t4r's 3rd gen

 

Nice I'll check that out
