1983 Toyota Levin straight from JAPAN! This is a real Levin that was never sold in the US Market. It is 5 speed manual and has been stripped for weight savings. The car is very light now. It has a one piece drivers bucket seat that is very narrow (winning bidder may need a wider seat installed) and stock JDM passenger seat. No back seats, no carpet, no unneeded interior accessories. Dashboard has a few cracks in it. Has a great working and very desirable Digital Dashboard. The pictures show the condition of the interior which is utilitarian. If the new owner woudl liek to switch it back to a more stock style interior, luckily most of the US Stock pieces fit in just fine.
Ebay does not accept JDM VIN's as they are shorter than US VINS. The VIN is AE865005138. AE86 is the chasis codes for this Levin.
Car starts right up and drives great. It's a much different experience form driving a stock AE86. The motor has been swapped for a Red Top 4AGE with under 20,000 miles on the motor. That is the more powerful 4AGE. It also has a newer heavier duty clutch, larger throttle body, custom intake with larger throttle body plate, upgraded ignition, intake, header, full exhaust with no restriction (can be a little loud), strut bar, silicone radiator hoses, small light weight battery and tuned for upgrades.
Other upgrades are front coilovers with camber adjustment, rear springs and shocks, full body kit including whale tail wing, SSR wheels, spare Watanabe wheel, and newer paint job. As you can see in the pictures, the car is low. It can be loaded and unloaded on a full trailer just fine if you are on a hill.
It has of course the stock Levin front end which is very desirable. Just the front end of this car is worth a good amount of money.
This car was never offered in the American market. It is still a very popular model in Japan to this day. It's light weight, super fun to drive, huge aftermarket support and unique styling. The best part is it is 100% LEGALLY IMPORTED. I can't stress how important that is. It is the only way to get a REAL Title in your state.
The car has been legally imported under the 25 years and old rule. It will come with all of it's import papers such as customs, EPA, DOT, Homeland security, De-Registration documents form Japan, Bill of Sale from Japan, Bill of Sale from me in US. All of these will allow you to get a title in your respective state. The only hurdle perhaps being your local SMOG laws. At most you may have to modify the exhaust system as this one has no emissions controls or anything on it. It's usually is the same process as registered a car from out of state. Please ask your local DMV if you have questions on how to title the car. It will most likely involve a VIN check to make sure it's the same that's on your paper work and showing them all the legal imported documents. Ebay requires me to select a title status on the car, but it does not hold a state title as of this time just to be clear as stated previously.
To be clear, the winning bidder is responsible for titling the car in their home state. I will provide ALL necessary import documentation. The DMV can be a little confused but they will eventually figure it out and you will be issued a title as long as you are not in California.
NOTE: It is near impossible to get a LEGAL California title for this car. Every other state is able to issue a title by going to your DMV, giving them all the paper work and having them walk you through the process EXCEPT California. Their laws are such that it is unable to be titled in California.
Again, everything has been done 100% LEGAL! There are no shady deals that have been made, or people paid off in customs or anything. Everything has been done proper and all taxes and import / export fees paid. There are a lot of them. Haha.
Since the car does not have US issued plates, it will have to be trailered or shipped to it's final destination.
Feel free to ask any questions you have. Also, the reserve is set pretty low for how unique this car is. Check out my other listing for another JDM Legally Imported car too.

Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.

Ah, aluminum. The lightweight, strong material has long held a following within the premium ranks, but as Ford prepares to launch an aluminum F-150, the material is gaining acceptance among more mainstream automakers. Toyota is one such brand, with a new report indicating that the Japanese giant will add aluminum bits and bobs to some of its upcoming vehicles.
These won't be full, aluminum-intensive treatments like the F-150, however. Automotive News reports that an aluminum hood and liftgate will be coming to the 2016 Lexus RX, and following that, the Camry will get a bonnet built from Element 13 for model year 2018.
As AN points out, Toyota is no stranger to aluminum, using it in Japanese-built models like the Prius and Scion FR-S. The RX and Camry, though, will mark the first time the company's North American factories will use the material, and they'll do so on a significantly larger scale, owing to the higher volumes that the Camry and RX represent.

The Toyota GT86, in all of its forms, is one of the best-handling cars money can buy, a trait that can put a smile on the faces of all but the most jaded car enthusiasts. But if good handling isn't what they're looking for, then what is? Our first guess would have to be more power, something the 200-horsepower Toyota would benefit from. Autocar tries out that theory by driving two turbocharged GT86s on track, then pitting the more powerful one against the 616-hp McLaren MP4-12C in a track battle.
The first GT86 turbo Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe drives makes around 255 rear-wheel horsepower and a bucket-load more torque than the stock car. That's plenty of power to either have a lot of fun or get into a lot of trouble. But the GT86 that Sutcliffe tails in the McLaren is race-prepped, stripped to the bone and wears slicks to harness a heavy-hitting 335 hp at the wheel. Weighing in at under 2,500 pounds, the Toyota can't overcome the MP4-12C's power-to-weight ratio of 5.3 pounds per horsepower, but it comes pretty close.
Enjoy a lot of chasing and drifting fun in the video below!
