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. 503-475-8078 Josh |

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
