This is a pair of rear wheel drive Toyota Corollas. The ’83 is a 4 door sedan that has a bad engine and automatic transmission in it. The body is in reasonable shape and the interior is pretty nice. Along with this car comes a 3TC engine and 5 speed transmission. What is unique about the ’83 is that it came with the “A” series engine. Therefore, it’s ready for a 4AGE engine to drop in. Or…it’s a pretty easy conversion to the 3TC (thus the reason I have one, ready to put in). This car has A/C. When I bought it two years ago, the A/C actually worked. I would not vouch for it today, however. Here's the '83:
The ’82 Wagon runs and drives fine. I’ve been driving this daily for 2+ years now. It has been incredibly reliable and silly-cheap to maintain. The body looks pretty rough and the tail lights aren’t working. It’s a 5 speed and did not come with a/c from the factory. It is currently equipped with 14x8” wheels from a Celica GTS and 195/60/14 tires in very good shape with plenty of tread (I’ve been driving on them about a year). See it here in my readers rides: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/reader-rides/715/ . Or...this is it:
Ideally, I’d like to trade this package for something to drive daily with 3+ seats (no miata or mr2
). Rear drive is pretty important to me. I like V8 power, but since it’s a daily driver, I’m looking for reasonable fuel mileage (mpg in the 20s, minimum). At the top of my list today, are: E30, P71, 240SX, ACVW, 924/944, Cherokee, Subaru, etc. I realize a trade is a longshot. I’d also consider selling the package outright. Does $1,500 sound fair? I'd have to have a daily driver lined up, I suppose...lol.
Thanks for looking,
Clem
