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.

Jaguar E-Type with Supra's 2JZ debuts at SEMA looking fly and fast
Tue, Oct 31 2023We hope you’re not bored of seeing Toyota 2JZ engine-swapped cars, because this one sure does capture our attention. The 1969 Jaguar XKE 2+2 youÂ’re looking at here is unlike any E-Type youÂ’ve seen before, and while it still has a straight-six under the hood, pretty much everything else about the coupe has fundamentally changed. In a nod to just how beautiful the E-Type is to begin with, its design is only different in this Eneos build because it needs to be. Fender flares were designed and 3D-printed by Illumasthetic, and they were then strengthened with carbon fiber. Why did it need the flares? Well, thatÂ’s because the 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six from the Supra produces far more power than the E-Type ever did, requiring a lot more rubber to keep things straight. Of course, the Supra engine isnÂ’t stock, as itÂ’s been modified with Deatschwerks injectors, a Nuke Performance fuel system, CP-Carillo pistons and rods, a Borg Warner EFR 8474 turbo, Vibrant Performance intercooler Â… the list goes on forever. Output is estimated at about 750 horsepower. The Frankenstein theme continues with the E60 generation 535i rear subframe suspension and differential out back. Meanwhile, it uses the five-speed manual transmission from an E36 generation M3. The front suspension is custom, and while BMW brakes are used in the rear, Eneos chose brakes off a 2003 Chevy Corvette up front. The 17-inch Rotiform STL wheels are wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71 RS tires. Inside, this Jag-yota gets a full roll-cage, Tillett seats, an OMP steering wheel and a whole lot more. Eneos credits Faruk Kugay as the carÂ’s builder – Kugay previously built some rather creative cars, like a 997 Porsche 911 GT3 with a Subaru Impreza STI EJ25 engine and an E30 BMW 3 Series with a Honda S2000Â’s 2.0L engine. This Jaguar takes the wild engine swaps and engineering to totally new heights, though, and we canÂ’t help but simply love the way itÂ’s been executed. Related Video
Here's what you had to say about the Tokyo Motor Show
Fri, Oct 27 2017We obsessively covered the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. You, our readers, provided the color commentary. Read on and, of course, leave your comments below. Subaru Viziv Performance Concept: Remember the WRX concept they showed in 2013, and what the production version looked like in 2015? Pepperidge Farm remembers. wooootles 2 foot high wing on the trunk or gtfo :) sc0rch3d Mazda Kai Concept : Dear Honda, this is how you dynamically style a hatchback. Thank you. Dfelix70 Kudos to KODO design. There are so many things I love about this "Kai" car: the awesome split panoramic sunroof, the Jaguar-esque tails (sporting an "eyebrow up"... ala The Rock), a sleek family resemblance to the already beautiful CX-5 and CX-9. Seems suspiciously close to being a production ready Mazda3 — save for a few fanciful bits (door handles, mirrors etc). If it doesn't get too watered down by the time it hits the streets ... take my money! Randy Ross Mitsubishi e-Evolution Concept: As an 06 IX and 12 X owner, this is so upsetting. I will never buy this or care to give it another look. Hope you are glad you killed my favorite track-ready car to produce this electric junk. AcidTonic Picture the GT-R going away for a few years and coming back as an SUV. This is ridiculous. Surely someone in marketing could've came up with another cool name. Evo The Evo sedan is dead, whether this exists or not. I don't mind. Lada1200 Honda Sports EV Concept : I sure would like to see this "less is more" design aesthetic spread to their gas-powered production line. RustyShackleford Love it. I see glimpses of late 1970 Scirocco with Honda flair. Gintonics I just want ONE question answered in the affirmative, and that is... "RWD?" Henadenk AND A FEW FROM FACEBOOK: Toyota's press conference: Wake me up when they talk about the Supra. David Levinson Yamaha Cross Hub Concept: All I can think is modern day Brat, which has its own kind of charm. I'm assuming that it's a unibody design, but it seems happy to be its own thing rather than that crossover pretending to be a pickup called the Ridgeline. Would definitely take the Yamaha over the Honda, although I doubt it'll come to the states. Cole Henry Mazda Vision Coupe Concept: Face: KIA K7, Tail: Aston martin. Harold Shin A bit British, no?

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773
Fri, Mar 24 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna. Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
