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

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
119K Toyota Avalon sedans recalled over airbag woes
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Toyota has issued a voluntary safety recall for 119,000 2003-2004 Avalon models because in some cases the airbags could inadvertently deploy.
The automaker says that circuits within the airbag control module could be damaged by electrical noise, which could cause the front airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate. Dealers are going to repair cars by adding an electrical noise filter to the module. Owners will be notified by first class mail.
Toyota Public Affairs Manager Cindy Knight told Autoblog that there was one reported injury caused by the sudden deployment, but there have been no accidents or crashes. The company is currently preparing the parts for dealers now, and the component takes 90 minutes to two hours to install. "We don't believe there are any other affected models," said Knight.
Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.
