my mom bought one in yellow new on 1977&she is still driving it in melbourne(australia)&same motor as the american model but without all those emission parts(faster&more HP)with approx 700,000 KM on meter&still stock engine(started burning some oil around 550k KM about a litre every 5000 KM,not bad)after 35 years still returning about 6 litres for 100KM on express way.amazing quality that do not see anymore.
I feel so at home looking at this car. I had a gold wagon. I wish, I wish, I wish. Never should have gotten rid of it. The Brat I got afterwards didn't last too long!
Best of OPC.

Give me this over a new Corolla anyday!
100 percent agreed with Chris. This car has personality and soul, nothing like a modern Dronerolla.

I bought a 79 Corolla brand new, same color as this one, for a little over $4000 when I was in college. 5 speed stick, about 40 mpg…..loved that car!
