Thank you for taking the time to read the entire ad, if the ad is still up then we still have the car. The car for sale is the 1st picture, the other pictures in the ad are the same year make and model car just customized a bit.
This is a car I bought for my son and I to fix up....this would be our third we have done but our first custom wagon. We have been working on it a bit and will continue to work on it, the price will adjust as we do more to it. So if you are interested in buying it as it sits today it is $1400. The other two cars got finished before they were sold, this one may or may not but we put them online as we go as different people have different tastes and may not like the changes we make but want to purchase the car as a platform for their own tastes.
It's a 78 Corolla wagon deluxe has a great running stock famous 2TC 1.6L race engine capable of up to 400hp engine and a 3 speed automatic A40 03-55 Aisin/Borg Warner tranny. The car was being used as a daily driver by the person we bought it from.
I have driven it about 50 miles since we got it, it is a very nimble and fun car to drive it is very light (about 2000 lbs) I have taken it on the highway and up to 65mph and it cuts through the air great, in the last week my son and I have put a brand new water pump and waterpump/alternator belt, new valve cover gasket, platinum plugs, new complete distributor, a cap and a rotor a new coil and plug wires and changed the engine oil and filter.
In the next two weeks we plan to change the rear diff fluid, service the tranny (reverse and 3rd gear are a little weak), buy a new battery, buff out the other body pieces (only the driver door and passenger fender have been buffed out so far the entire paint job will polish up with another 3 to 4 hours of elbow grease) order new tires and rims, tint the windows and get the air conditioning working (the ac is all there but there is no belt on the compressor so we will see what it's going to take these old systems are easy).
After that we will be thinking about paint ideas or may just keep the factory paint and putting a header manifold on it with a good muffler and a full new exhaust (current exhaust is just fine) and then maybe suspension modifications.
All the accessories lights wipers heater blinkers etc etc work now except the a/c. The car has a clean clear OK title and current tag to Sept 2013, it is not all rusted out nor has it ever been wrecked all the glass is good all the gauges work and the car has just over 100k miles we are the 4th owner. The first owner had it for its first 85k miles the second bought it and kept it for a few months and sold it to his friend the third owner and he brought it up to its current mileage which is about 112k. The car has all 4 center caps (the back one is off in this picture) and a full size spare with the same rim.
The car is located in Claremore, Ok and can be delivered as far as Houston or even Galveston or anywhere in between through Dallas for the cost of fuel.
Thanks for reading-have a good day

Toyota FT-1 Concept presents a future we want to live in [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.
Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.
"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.
Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas
Fri, 02 May 2014Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."
Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
