1986 Toyota MR2 with bad engine, sold by Original Owner

Description

For lack of space, I finally have to let go of the only new car I owned before I was almost 50. I'm sure that a buyer won't look at it quite the same way as I do. In addition to engine trouble, there is no fifth gear, the radio isn't working, nor the cruise control, and the A/C is at least not charged. The exterior panels are stucturally sound, but the front has peeling of the clear coat, and there are small rusted areas. The interior has a small flaw in the side of the driver's seat, a torn center console, and of course the original floor mats aren't in great shape.
Dash, gauges, carpet, gear shift, etc., are good, and I'll throw in an additonal steering wheel, and a tail light cover. It's a great parts car, but I'd love it if you were handy enough to fix it and have fun with it instead.
Starting at minimum price required to recover cost of the listing. Much of the original documentation and service records available.
