1983 Toyota Corolla Dlx Wagon 5-door 1.6l Automatic Daily Driver on 2040-cars
New York, New York, United States

YOU WILL GET TONS OF ATTENTION IN THIS CAR! Every red light in NYC someone's giving me the thumbs-up or telling me about the one they used to have.
For sale this 1983 Corolla wagon with the original 1.6 (gets tremendous gas mileage) and the automatic trans. This car is currently insured, registered, and inspected in New York with a clear title in my name. This is my daily driver; she gets parked on the streets of Manhattan at night and Brooklyn during the day. LOTS new on this ride done by a trusted legit mechanic, much of it with warranties. New; entire brake system including front calipers and rotors, rear drums and wheel cylinders, plus e-brake & cable. Stops on a dime with no pulling. New; entire front suspension including control arms, tie rods, bushings, shocks. New rear shocks as well. New; entire power steering system including a brand new steering rack and new pump. New water pump & thermostat. New timing belt just replaced. -Fog lights re-hooked up (they go on with the headlights automatically and look great). Has an aftermarket GT steering wheel; the horn works great but works from a button on the dash. The previous owner said the trans was rebuilt but I have no proof except that it shifts & downshifts perfectly. As I said I drive this beast every day and it gets unbelievable MPG. Full older custom exhaust was just checked out by an exhaust shop who declared that it is tight throughout. *The car is rusty with some holes; that yellow paint was sprayed right over the rust and it's bubbling in the back. *Driver's seat is loose on one side due to a recently broken mount or something. I drive with the back seat folded forward which props it up. *Radio does not work *A/C looks complete but doesn't blow cold *Dashboard is beat all to hell with huge cracks all over it. *Speedometer doesn't work and stopped at 163,000! (all other gauges work) I've had the car since springtime and have taken it to Boston, Providence, and New Paltz so I'm sure it's way up there. I got the feeling that before I got the car it hadn't been driven much in years. *Carb probably needs to be replaced as it runs rich. I don't really care since I usually go like 10 miles a day, but some days it smokes and really ought to be done. *Small oil leak that also smokes occasionally, and when it does it's smoky. |

Toyota promises Hybrid-R concept for Frankfurt
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Toyota will be bringing a new concept car to the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Dubbed Hybrid-R, Toyota says the concept will feature the same Toyota Hybrid System-Racing tech found in the automaker's latest endurance car, the TS030 Hybrid.
That car took second place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a gas-powered, 3.4-liter, naturally aspirated V8 and a capacitor-based hybrid system. The result was 530 ponies from the engine and an extra 300 horsepower from the electric motor and batteries.
Toyota's press release came with but one image, a new Hybrid badge which is a far cry from the Hybrid Synergy Drive label found on the automaker's other offerings. There's really not much else to go on yet, but the news that Toyota is already adapting its racing tech for a concept bodes well for the future of exciting, hybridized offerings from the automaker. We'll be at Frankfurt live, and will be sure to bring you all the news on this new concept as it becomes available.
Toyota gives a free RAV4 to 50-millionth customer [w/video]
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Not surprisingly, the 50-millionth Toyota product sold in the US was a Camry, but Toyota had a big surprise in store for Michael Dee, the buyer of said milestone vehicle. Toyota group vice president Bill Fay showed up at Dee's house to not only personally thank him for the purchase, but also completely paid off that brand new Camry, presenting the owner with a clear title.
But that wasn't all. As you can tell from the image above, Fay had one more trick up his sleeve. The group VP brought along a brand new 2013 Toyota RAV4, which was also presented to Dee in appreciation. The best part is that Dee's genuine amazement was all caught on video, which is posted below.
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
