1973 Toyota Corolla 1.6l Two Door Deluxe on 2040-cars
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.

First live photos and impressions of Toyota's 2014 Corolla
Fri, 07 Jun 2013After releasing official pictures and a press release about an hour earlier, Toyota chose an aircraft hanger at the Santa Monica airport as the venue for the global introduction of its highly anticipated 2014 Corolla. Following an extended aerial acrobat show, which included performers running along the walls, swimmers romping in a massive overhead clear plastic pool and angry dancers destroying their cardboard stage in a glittery fit... the all-new C-segment star of the show was lowered on cables from the ceiling. (After the strobe lights and pounding sound that preceded it, the final vehicle reveal was almost anticlimactic.)
Face-to-face with the eleventh-generation sedan, we liked what we saw. Compared to last year's Corolla, the new model appears smaller in person - yet that is mostly an optical illusion. By the tape, it is four inches longer and slightly wider than its predecessor, but a bit shorter. The wheelbase has been stretched nearly four inches, yet the front and rear overhangs only give or take about an inch in the conversion. With the exception of the enormous wheel/fender gap (the new Corolla seems to ride too high), its overall proportions are very pleasing.
The fresh styling is modern and stylish, with sculpted lines that add character to a formerly bland sedan
Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case
Sat, 26 Oct 2013A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration.
Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face.
Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues."
Toyota TRD Pro lineup coming next week
Thu, 30 Jan 2014A mysterious Toyota commercial recently popped up on YouTube teasing a new TRD Pro lineup for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, and now we're getting our first official word straight from the automaker on the matter. Courtesy of its Facebook page, Toyota is promising that the TRD Pro models will be introduced on February 6th, ready to "conquer the great outdoors."
This date just so happens to mark the first day of the always-truck-friendly Chicago Auto Show, so while Toyota isn't saying as much, we're almost certain the trucks will show up next week in the Windy City. It's not clear what sort of upgrades TRD Pro brings, but it definitely includes black wheels and a tweaked front end featuring a thick, single-bar grille and bold lettering in place of the stylized Toyota logo (shown above on the Tundra).
Scroll down to see the video, and head over to Toyota's Facebook page to see a teaser image of the 4Runner TRD Pro.
