UPDATED - This is now very much in the way and needs to go.
Tax and MOT are now out and if someone can come and get it SOON, I'll take £300 :cry:


It is with reluctance that my 1976 Toyota Corona 2000 (RT104) is now for sale :(
I just don't have the room, the time of the money to keep it and do it justice so it has to go.

This is what it should and could look like :smokin:......

Rough spec is:
1976 Toyota Corona 2000
2litre 18R engine with autobox, both work fine.
Rear Wheel Drive :)
Standard spec is something like 105bhp and I've recently seviced and tuned it.
The clocks currently read 2,000 miles, so it's either 102,000 or 202,000. Going on the interior and the general condition, my belief is 102,000 is most likely.
MOT and tax till end of Jan 07, last MOT it failed on 2 bulbs and a cracked numberplate.
DIRT cheap to insure.
Everything works apart from the rear demister and the radio (light comes on, no music to be heard)
Everything's totally original on the car in cluding the comfy high backed seats.
Bodywork is a little tatty in places and there is a small hole on one of the rear pockets and signs of rust at the bottom of the front A-pillar, but the chassis rails and all structural parts of the shell are VERY sound for the age and the rot is nothing that can't easily be sorted out if it's being sprayed.
All parts are still readily and cheaply available from Toyota (once you get round the 'you sure you don't mean Corolla mate?' from the parts dept;))

It's good fun to drive and corners nice and flat. I'd suspect with a wide set of wheels, it'd really embarrass a lot of modern cars round the twisties, even with the autobox.

Comes with the usual haynes manual, original sales brochure and such.

Would make an awesome project car if someone wanted to slap a JZ engine and manual box in there, a coat of paint and a nice set of rims :smokin: or a reliable retro daily driver that's a bit different.


Like I say, I just can't keep it at the moment, but I'd like to think someone would give it a good home and treat it right. It owes me £500 and that's what I want for it. It's available now and is currently in Birmingham.

Feel free to post this on any other forums you think might be interested :)

cheers,

At least you'll get £20 petrol money from Mitch :wack:
 
This is a great little car, handles really well for a 30 year old!!!. I ran around in it a bit before James had it, was quite reliable, you get some real funny looks in it :wack:


Lowered with some pimp wheels & it'd be super cool :nod: :D
 
Damn, I love old school shizzle like this - lower it and stick some dish on it and it'll look awesome :)
