Dude - buy some spray wax and clean that bad boy up.
Aaaand watchlisted.
Never mind the part where it's clear across the country...
she'd get me back to WA right?
Not sure how much oil you'd need, but probably. And datsun, that is what it looks like cleaned up.
Oh to be able to travel back to Dec 2011...
3 days to go, hopefully at least one of you is lining up to snipe this and get a hell of a challenge car.
Some interior shots would be nice for any potential buyers.

Agreed. Local and interested. Could it live 6mo just feeding it oil?
Will do on the interior shots- just put the stock interior pieces back in, didn't want to take any before that. It is possible it could live a good while just topping off the oil, it's a Toyota after all. That said, with the recent rebuild I wouldn't want to risk running it low and chewing up any of the new parts in the bottom end.
The interior has no carpet or radio, and the airbag is not installed (I really don't like the idea of hitting a big bump and having it go off mid rallycross run) but I have it. Good black dash, headliner, firewall carpet; seats and wheel have seen better days.

Yup, did that at my last rallycross. Though it wasn't a bump as much as it was a jump 
Good luck with the sale!
Nice fish-eye view! (GoPro?)

Of course- the only name in nearly indestructible fish-eye cameras
Relisted at $1k starting, new link up top.
Does nobody want this? I would think $1k no reserve would generate a bit more interest 
I want it, I have no money.
I think one thing that might help is emphasising that the paint is red plasti-dip. I didn't catch that the first couple times I looked at it and just thought it was oxidized red paint. What condition is the paint in under the plasti-dip?
Red, faded, sanded in some places (PO wanted to paint it) but solid and without chips or bubbles. The picture in my garage shows it pre plasti-dip.
Want? Yes, but I just turned down a reasonably nice 99 Miata because it turned out to be more of a project than I can deal with right now. Plus, working A/C is an absolute must (I need soemthing for a 4-season back-up DD).

See previous answer of "no money". (All mine has gone into my 87 MR2, see also previous post of "to be able to time travel back to 2011".)

Want. Can't have.
I'm guessing that it mostly appeals to current rallycross addicts almost exclusively. Everyone else is probably turned off by the sight of dirt in the engine bay and generally 'rough' appearance. A few bucks at the car wash could go a long way.
I'll forgo the excuses and just say, "that's a cool car, GLWS".
Have you tried MR2oc.com?
Yeah, it's been on there even longer than here. I may take another crack at cleaning it, but the dirt seems to be perma-baked into most surfaces at this point. I could take a picture of it while still wet, as it looks quite good then, but that seems a little too dishonest.
To me, the odd thing is that it looked similarly poor when I bought it off mr2oc (dirty, faded paint, etc.) with TRASHED suspension and people were jumping all over it- maybe there just isn't as much interest anymore, or "rallycross" is too scary a word.
If I were still getting shuffled over to the Allentown area regularly by work, I'd be looking at getting it and driving it back here to KY since it looks like it would make a fun already partially sorted Challenge car. For better or worse though, they've not really had me out there since last fall and I'm not expecting to get sent back out anytime soon...
Ended up buying an e30 w/ a motor that doesn't need to come out for $1200, otherwise I probably would have jumped at $1k-ish for this :-/
GLWS and hope to see you at summit point in the fall.
