Hi, up for auction is my 80/81 Toyota Corolla five door / Wagon. I say 80/81 because the door jam badge says Oct. 1980 and the registration says 1981. I did my best to take pictures of everything the good, the bad, the ugly. Firstly the car is in running condition and has been my daily driver for the past year or two. It has a oil leak but I'm not sure from where. It shifts smooth and runs like a top. It tends to get a little "squirrelie" once you get past 65 mph. I never had the need to get over 60 mph on the roads I travel. To tell the truth this has been the most reliable used car I have owned to date. The A/C belt is missing, the previous owner removed it. He said the A/C didn't work. I run premium grade fuel in her and get and average of 30 mpg. The brakes and clutch seem to have a lot of life left in them. The tires have decent tread. I recently replaced the starter, alternator and battery. I was trying the trial and error method to a starting issue(it would just click). Turned out it was just some corrosion on the ground cable at the battery connection. As far as the body goes there is a few dings, dents, damage and rust. Hopefully you can see all of it in the pictures. There is a bit of damage on the passenger side fender by the bumper. A dent on the rear door. A small bit of rust at the bottom of the back side windows and a bit on the bottom of the front doors but nothing major past that. The piece of chrome trim/rain trail is crinkled. At some point someone replaced the drivers seat. The rest of the seats are original and the passenger seat is torn up on the butt. The head liner has some tears and stains of some sort. It's not a modern head liner and dosn't hang down or anything of that nature. I have some aftermarket floor mats in it. There is a crack in the dash. The gauge cluster lights don't work but there is a rigged up light that works just fine. The windshield has a crack from one end to the other and was "repaired". The radio didn't work so I hooked up a small amp with an audio cable to play my I pod through some small speakers. All the gauges function like they should. Past that this thing is a sweet time capsule of a car. It's amazing how many heads it turns for what it is. I hate to let this one go. I live in Elm City, NC and my phone number is 252-360-7915. Call anytime. I would feel better if you came to look at it prior to bidding but that's on you. If you bid and win you must pay withing 24 hours and all sales are final. But you should come take it for a spin and fall in love! If you pay but cant pick it up soon that's fine I will park it in the shade and await your arrival for pick up. Ask away with questions! -Jesse

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
Toyota FT-1 hints at Supra, more aggressive hybrids
Mon, Jan 13 2014Toyota showed off the new FT-1 performance concept at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, and the obvious story angle is that this is the new Supra. That's enough weight for most concept cars to carry, but then we thought about it a bit more - FT-1 stands for "Future Toyota 1," after all - and re-read the hints Toyota is dropping about how the FT-1 fits into the company's future. Put all the pieces together, and we think there's a chance Toyota's hybrid models are about to get a whole lot cooler. Technically, the FT-1 is an EV, but that's just because all it has for a powetrain is a small battery and motor to move it around on stage. This concept doesn't even have a proposed powertrain, but a production Supra could have any number of powerplants under the hood (V6, V8, hybrid and inline-six are all mentioned by Automotive News). We also like the big red start button on the steering wheel, which owes at least a little to the blue start button in the Prius. What we're more interested here is what this sleek red beast could do for the look of Toyota's hybrids. The FT-1 could change how Toyota designs cars in the future. To make the FT-1, Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, apparently challenged Toyota's Calty Design Research team to create a car with passion and "a palpable heart-pounding sense of excitement." Instead of making design decisions "by consensus among a large group of stakeholders," the company says "the [design] approval process has been streamlined. This new approach aims to produce cars that connect more deeply with customers." There was a sense in Detroit today that the FT-1 heralds a change in how the company designs cars in the future. The FT-1 is apparently not the result of Toyota's hybrid supercar partnership with BMW, but we know that Toyota isn't a total stranger to a high-performance hybrid category, having built the TS030 hybrid Le Mans race car. For an on-road gas-electric from the company, though, we're much more used to the egg-shaped Prius. While Toyota has backed off a 2003 pledge to make every model a hybrid, it has said that it wants gas-electrics powertrains to proliferate throughout the line-up. And, if the FT-1 previews a new Toyota look, then at least some of those hybrids will benefit from some of the good looks on display in Detroit.
Scion testing updated FR-S
Thu, Sep 17 2015It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power – as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:
