Timeless icon of the neighborhood and founding inspiration for this blog, but I don't think I'd ever seen in person before. When I asked Atika what she thought of my angles, she knew exactly where it lives.
i used to have one in early 80's one of the best looking cars i have ever had(in my opinion)also one of the most unreliable ones.had it for 13 months&broke down 14 times&lots of electrical issues,finally sold it to my mechanic who swapped the motor&gear box from a wrecked 78 toyota hilux&redone the whole wiring&i ended up buying a new 1982 toyota corona sedan with manual trans,an infinitley better choice.rare find indeed.
Best of OPC.
