Vehicle is being sold locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. There are many details to share about this unique example of Toyota history so let’s get to it shall we?

EXTERIOR

The paint is all original and is VERY glossy. There are some wear spots from wax jobs over the last 40 years that have taken their toll and worn through the paint on the usual spots (Top of windshield, top of the front fenders, and various spots on the roof). All the body panels are original. There is some rust on the lower front fenders behind the front wheels which is common for these cars. There is patch work you can see in the pics. (see pics). I do not find any rust anywhere else. There is a silver dollar size paint blemish on the driver fender (see pics). There are misc. rock chips from normal road debris but, nothing excessive or out of the ordinary for a vehicle it’s age.

INTERIOR

The interior is EXCEPTIONALLY clean and all original. The seats are in great shape except for the driver’s seat (see pics). All interior controls work great . . .even the vintage radio. Heater works great as well. All lights, buttons and switches are operating properly. All window glass is intact and in great condition. Headliner is perfect! The dash does have one crack in the center which is common. The rear deck lid is perfect. No strange smells . . .never smoked in.

ENGINE,TRANS,SUSPENSION AND BRAKES

The engine is legendary 2TC 1.6 Liter. It’s starts the first time, every time and settles into a smooth idle. . . just as it should. No smoking, strange noises or issues. The transmission is the Toyota T40 4 Speed manual and shifts flawlessly. Suspension is all stock and still rides very smooth with no excessive bounce or roll. The brakes are firm with great pedal feel. No pulling, vibration or issues. This Corolla tracks straight and true just like it did in 1974! The wheels are 13” slotted alloy mags which are period correct. I also have the original steel wheels with hub caps that will come with the vehicle. The tires are in great shape and have 75% tread on all four corners. I would not hesitate to drive this Corolla across the country.

 

THE BEST BIDDING STRATEGY


Last minute bidding, while exciting, can cost YOU the car that you wanted. This is why EBAY does not recommend it as a bidding strategy. They instead suggest that Members rely on the EBAY'S Proxy Bid System They paid alot to develop it - USE IT

To use EBAY'S Proxy bid system simply do your research, bid the absolute maximum that you are willing to pay for the item the first time you bid and let the proxy server do the rest of the work for YOU. The computer will do all your bidding for you, but it won't just hop right on to the max amount. IT will only outbid the previous bidder by one bid increment {so if you enter $4000 and the item is at $2000 and the previous bidder has a max bid of say $2500 the item will only go up to $2550 and if you are bid against the computer bids on your behalf up to the amount you entered as your max bid also if you happen to want to bid again you can do so say $4500 but bid amount will not increase just the computer will bid higher for you.}

Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.

Japanese dealer petitioning Lexus for luxury van [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Used to be that if you wanted a luxury automobile - especially one to be chauffeured around in - your choices were basically limited to a sedan. It could be bigger or smaller, more or less expensive, depending on your needs and budget, but it was always going to have four doors and a trunk. But these days the rich and famous are looking elsewhere for their commodious forms of pampering transportation. There are, of course, the crossovers and SUVs, which only seem to be getting bigger and more expensive thanks to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover L and upcoming Bentley sport-ute. But luxury vans are becoming the new big thing.
That's the point that one dealer in Japan is trying to make to Toyota. The dealership owner himself reasons that if he's going out on the town, he's likely to take his chauffeured Lexus LS. But if he's taking a few friends along, even the biggest sedan isn't going to cut it. So he takes a Toyota Alphard (pictured above, also known as the Vellfire), a JDM van that's even bigger than a Voxy/Noah or Sienna but hardly a high-end affair. That's why he's asking Lexus to make a luxury van.
The idea may seem a little far-fetched, but isn't without precedent. It didn't take much for Lexus to transform the Land Cruiser into the LX and thus create its first luxury SUV. And as Mercedes has shown with pimped-out versions of the Sprinter and now with the debut of the new V-Class in Geneva, there's clearly a market for it... in some countries, anyway. The only question in our minds is how long it's going to take other luxury automakers to catch on, because let's face it: the Chrysler Town & Country ain't gonna cut it for those used to be driven around in a Maybach.
