You were like a kid in a candy shop in that vid. I would've been the same way. I would've been going nuts over the spotless red velour interior, the metalflake paintjob, and the fake woodgrain in the interior.
The video was a great rouch! Gotta do that with more cars...even if it's just a walk-around and the owner coming out and saying "Git the hell away from my car!".
What'd the guy want for it? Motor's gonna need some work- it's got noise in the valvetrain- but hell, those suckers are easy to rebuild (Not that it necessarily needs a whole rebuild)-and rear-wheel drive, makes it easy in & out.
Man! You PNWers sure do have a bunch of nice old well-preserved cars to play with!
The price was definitely right, and if it were a stick I'd have been even more seriously considering it. But I doubt they made a stick. Hard to justify a new car expense when my recently purchased car still needs work. But the dream lives on.
1. last gen awkward style corona 2. liftback 4-door 3. red velour interior 4. pseudo-luxury gimmicks
the ONLY corona i'd ever consider would be the 5th gen sedan, it's hard to justify purchasing an oddity like this. probably not worth restoring and too far gone to preserve for posterity's sake. but someone should take up the torch and continue racking up the miles on that tires 20R.
Yeah Don, I told 'em that when I commented on the M-35. Really like this 'un too! Like the '77 Buick, it looks like it's moving even when parked. Like the velour interior too. All this and a trunkful of snacks! Love it! Last time I saw one of these was over 30 years ago when a woman I worked for had one. Makes the new Toyotas really suck!
Best of OPC.

Those tires are awesome on this car!
Melaflake paint and a trunkload o' muffins. All I really need in a car...
Doin' doughnuts in the parking lot again, son?

So…did you buy it?
that looked like some pretty effortless one-handed steering.
funniest part about that video is you, haha.
gosh that is some heavy metal-flake.

Sweet ride!
I'd buy it just for the "Dark" dial! Love it.
