1973 Toyota Corolla 1.6l Two Door Deluxe on 2040-cars
Year:1973
Mileage:31700
Location:
Denton, Texas, United States

I am selling my 1973 Toyota Corolla Deluxe 1.6L. It has 31,700 miles on it. The car was stored for 12 years in a garage. I purchased the car, removed the fuel tank, carb, head to clean out any old gas. I cleaned out the tank, rebuilt carb, installed new fuel pump, flushed fuel lines, had head rebuilt to remove possibility of gas causing valves to stick. I had new exhaust valves and all seal replaced. New head gasket, new belt, carb kit, intake and exhaust gasket, carb gasket, fuel lines, radiator hoses have all been replaced. I intended to drive this car as it is in excellent shape. Paint is faded and waxing (3 times) did not improve it.
This car was bought NEW by a Toyota salesman and was loaded with every option including dealer installed vinyl top. He drove it to work everyday. His daughter was given the car to drive to and from a local college. She wanted a Mustang so he took it back and continued driving the car to work. He sold the car to my neighbor who only put 1100 miles on it from 1997 to 2001. The car sat in their garage until I purchased it in 2013. The husband died of cancer in 2009. This car has all the tools in the trunk, little sun damage to interior as it faced nose into the garage. I have just put the carb back on and I videoed the car running BEFORE I did anything other than clean out gas. I ran it for an hour with fresh oil then pulled the head off and had it rebuilt for about $230. There was nothing wrong at all I just do not like taking chances with bad gas getting into the valve train. I ordered new head gasket and put it all back together. Such a simple engine to work on. NO timing belts just good old valve train pushrods. I kept ALL parts I changed out. This is an AWESOME well sought out car by collectors and Rally enthusiasts. It runs like a sewing machine and gets 30 MPG or better. A/C was installed at dealer but the old "Thumper" compressor is locked up. I would install a new modern compressor and convert to R134 anyways. Fan runs perfect inside and all controls function. Not a single light was burnt out. Temperatures have been cold but I do have new rear wheel cylinders, and a new master cylinder to replace. The rear master cylinder reservoir was empty but not the front. This tells me the rears are leaking. I have all the parts but not good weather to change out. An easy fix. AM radio works fine. The first owner had a stereo installed for his daughter but the head unit is gone. There are rear speakers but the AM radio does not run them. I have driven this car around the block and it shifts very strongly. I power braked to check for transmission slippage and it just spun the tires. Performed very well. If you have any questions please just send a message. It is a great car and I did want to drive it but have changed my plans. The car has a few small dents and dings but nothing a painless dent repair expert could not get out. Trunk liner is still in the car. The spare tire is missing and I could not locate it. Owners manual, tool kit, and the plastic bag they came in are all present. You can tell this car was only driven to and from work. When I was cleaning out the car and airing out the stale smell from being shut for so long I did notice the logo caps on the seat belts would pop off. I saved them and they can be reglued. It was just old hard tiny glue spots holding them in place. Original floor mats are in the car. Vinyl top will need to be replaced as it is hard as a rock. All trim pieces are in place but the little plastic keepers that the trim snaps onto will need to be replaced. All glass is in place and good. Everything functions. I have a video of the engine running after I installed a new fuel pump. I did nothing else other than put fresh gas in the carburetor to run. The exhaust from header to tail pipe should be replaced. They are cheap mufflers and this one just rotted out from time. New exhaust manifold gasket installed. New thermostat, new fluid. http://youtu.be/FQRTfuOywj8 On Feb-07-14 at 09:18:50 PST, seller added the following information: I am selling my 1973 Toyota Corolla Deluxe 1.6L.

2015 Toyota Prius V gets updated looks and content
Thu, Nov 20 2014The Toyota Prius V is the most utilitarian member of the Prii family with a big jump in cargo space over the rest but maintaining the great fuel economy. For the 2015 model year, the company is giving the wagon an update with a big shift in front end styling and upgraded taillights to go with the revised look. Inside, customers also get a little new technology, as well. The biggest change up front is the reshaped headlights and new bumper that look almost identical to the recent restyling of the Prius + in Europe. Though, the latest parts might be a little polarizing and almost make the wagon look like it has gills at each corner. The top level Prius V Five trim also adds integrated foglights to the design and headlights with LEDs for the high and low beams. Toyota is offering three additional colors too: Attitude Black Metallic, Absolutely Red and Toasted Walnut Pearl. Inside, drivers can get a new, eight-way adjustable power driver's seat on some models, and there's now a 4.2-inch TFT screen situated between the gauges on the Three trim level and higher to display information like fuel economy, navigation instructions, climate control settings and more. The upper versions also get Toyota's latest Entune infotainment system with a 6.1-inch high-res touchscreen with navigation. Finally, the Advanced Technology Package on the Five trim now includes Lane Departure Alert and Automatic High Beams. Mechanically, the Prius V remains unchanged thanks to the same 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with nickel-metal hydride battery pack pumping out 134 net horsepower. Fuel economy stays at 44 miles per gallon city, 40 mpg highway and 42 mpg combined. Despite the upgraded looks, the base 2015 Prius V Two is $75 cheaper this year at $26,675, plus $825 destination. Although, the top Five model is $540 more at $30,935 before destination. The latest model year should start hitting dealers in December; scroll down for all of the specs and pricing.
Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US
Fri, 09 May 2014It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.
Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?
Fri, 11 Oct 2013Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.
