 1979 Toyota Corolla Sport Deluxe Coupe

           Survivor

                 Extremely Original and Stock

          Showing 37,547 miles, believed actual

                           Mostly Original Paint

 

When a friend of mine called me and said that he had a line on a 1979 Corolla, I laughed.

I’m into vintage, hot rod European cars, not Japanese econo-boxes. He said that he knew me well and that I wouldn’t believe my eyes. I needed to come and see it.

He did know me well, I was smitten, I guess I’m a sucker for anything that’s super clean and original.

Long story short, I bought the car, fixed a few minor things and have enjoyed for a while.

It’s now time for someone else to enjoy this almost perfectly preserved little car.

While the Corolla was in my care I did a tune up and oil change. The car already had a newer muffler and cat, as well as fresh tires.

There was a dent in the driver’s side door, right were the fender and door came together.

I had a body shop fix the dent and to get the color to match properly, they blended through most of the driver’s side. The rest of the paint is original and save for some very light wear and tear, and a scratch on the trunk lid, is in excellent condition.

The car runs great, leaks no fluids, shifts perfectly and is a joy to drive. The steering wheel is centered, alignment is good and the brakes are excellent. There are no major rattles or squeaks and overall the car is very tight.

There are a few very minor things that I have noticed with the car. The plastic cover for the A pillar on the drivers side is cracked. You can see it in the pictures. There is a small amount of surface rust above and below the left tail light. It has not rusted through and has been touched up so that it does not continue. The factory ignition switch does not start the car when turned to the start position. There has been a button under the dash installed for starting. Other than that everything is in very good condition.

All the lights work, wipers, horn, blower for the heater, all the things that don’t normally work on a car of this vintage are in working order.

I haven’t seen a car of this vintage as nice as this in years. People actually stop me when I’m driving around to ask about it. I swear that more people notice this car than a late model sports car.

I went to great lengths to show this most excellent example of a 1979 Corolla through more than 150 photos. Please look through all of them. There are pictures of pretty much every part of the car including the underside.

Inspections are welcome PRIOR to the end of auction.

Please email or call with any and all questions.

Toyota GT86 gets TRD treatment in UK

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As dearly as we love the Toyota GT86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ franchise, we readily admit we wouldn't look sideways at a model with a bit more firepower. And while that's not quite on the table yet, Toyota has been busy amping up the visual firepower of its rear-drive coupe with a whole host of TRD parts. To this point, that's been a largely à la carte affair, but the automaker's UK outpost has just announced a special-edition model that allows our British friends to pick up the whole shooting match all in one go.
The Toyota GT86 TRD will only be available in black and white, and just 250 examples are to be built. As you can see from the excellent gallery above, the catalog of look-faster bits include a more aggressive front air dam, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, spoiler and unique 18-inch forged alloys. Additional flourishes include a TRD shift lever and branded radiator cap. The sole concession to actual performance? A "fast-response quad exhaust" that might only improve things audibly - 0-62 mph is apparently unchanged at 7.7 seconds, and the top end is still 140 mph for the manual transmission model. (The auto gets by with 8.4 seconds and 130 mph).
Pricing? Glad you asked. £31,495 for GT 86 TRD manual, £32,995 for the automatic - that's nearly $50,000 US for the tripedalist and just over for the automatic. (Those are heady prices, but bear in mind that UK MSRPs and taxes are generally significantly higher than their US counterparts). If the standard GT86 is more your speed, it still rings up at a more affordable £24,995 - roughly $39,500 - leaving plenty of budget for actual performance parts. No word yet on North American availability of a special TRD model, but we've got a call in...

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche Mission E charging for Tesla, net zero energy Toyota dealership

Wed, Oct 5 2016

Porsche has confirmed that its Mission E charging infrastructure will also work with Tesla vehicles. The ultra-fast, 800-volt charging system will recharge the Mission E to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, and will also service new EVs from Volkswagen and Audi. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Top Gear that development of the charging infrastructure "sounds easy but getting the details agreed is hard. We already have the clear technical concept. It can even work with Teslas, with an adapter." Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz, also tells Top Gear that they are "in talks" with Porsche regarding charging infrastructure. Read more at Top Gear, or from Electrek. An Oregon Toyota dealership is set to be the world's first net zero energy automotive dealership. The newly constructed, LEED Platinum certified Toyota of Corvallis produces more energy than it consumes, for which it is expected to receive Net Zero Energy certification. The 34,800-square-foot building is equipped with enough solar panels to produce as much energy that the dealership will use, with excess being put back into the grid, which will help during hours of peak demand. Toyota Motor Sales regional manager Steve Haag calls Toyota of Corvallis, "a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future." Read more from Toyota. Valeo has introduced a new 48-volt hybrid system. The 48V e4Sport, as it is called, uses a 48-volt battery, electric starter-generator, electric supercharger, and eRAD electric rear axle drive for all-wheel drive. It maximizes regenerative braking and stores that energy for increasing torque with the starter-generator, and increasing acceleration with the electric supercharger. The system also supports all-electric driving modes. Valeo says the system is applicable across all vehicle segments, and works with both gasoline and diesel engines. Read more at Green Car Congress. PSA Group has created its own mobility solutions brand, called Free2Move. Free2Move will handle programs like car sharing, connected services, corporate fleet services, and affordable leasing programs for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and other PSA partners. "For the PSA Group, mobility means not only making and selling excellent cars, but also offering a full range of mobility solutions," says PSA Group VP of Mobility Services Gregoire Olivier.

Toyota to end Australian production by 2017

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

There is more bad news for the Australian auto industry today, as Toyota has just announced that it will follow General Motors and Ford in shuttering its manufacturing operations on the continent. Production and assembly will cease by the end of 2017, but Toyota will remain in Australia as a sales and distribution company.
"We did everything that we could to transform our business, but the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Max Yasuda.
In an official statement, Yasuda said that the closure would directly affect 2,500 manufacturing employees and an unknown number of corporate workers. However, a report in the Australian newspaper The Age suggests that the jobs of 24,000 workers at Australian auto suppliers could also be in jeopardy. Toyota currently builds its Camry, Camry Hybrid, Aurion sedans in Australia, along with four-cylinder engines, and it plans to begin importing the Camry and Aurion after production stops.
