That FX-16 is a bit rare stateside.  They were actually quite good performers for the day.  Twin cam 4AGE, unfortunately, the first of the FWD corollas though.  They do seem to be a bit more common in Europe.  The hilux is sweet

I see this beautiful 70's Toyota all the time. I'll have to get a better pic later but it's in amazing shape

                      Is that a longbed?I bought a longbed like that -

same year,same color,back in '77.

                     I bought an identical one about 10 years ago,

near Vader,Wash.The serial numbers were 1 digit different.

i have always had a soft spot for first gen ls400's  i assume its a v-8 cause the damn thing sounded fricken gnarly....not what my style would be but the curtains and everything really sold the look ....

Today I saw an old-ish lady driving a ~'77 TE51 Corolla liftback.  Seemed like the old 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality. That's so ratsun.  And, like a Datsun, it's never gonna break.  I wonder how many times she's heard the 'hey, I used to have one of these... story'.

DSCF3078.jpgDSCF3077.jpgRarest us-jdm Freakin 4dr auto 1971 Deluxe Colt , the guy heard I have worked on Colts and had one , needs carb work bad !

 

 

                        There's a Colt wagon down the street that might be for sale.

Good body,not great paint,& needs engine work - & it might go cheap.
