This is a rare 1980 Sunchaser and everything works.  This is a 33 year old car that is by no means perfect.  Please dont email asking if it has dings and scratches, yes it does, the paint is original and is weak.  This is a fun car to drive and be different it is not a show car.  That being said here is a list of everything that has been replaced on the car:  New -vinyl on targa, convertible and convertible boot, tires, front rotors and pads, rear shoes, clutch master cylinder, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, spark plugs and wires, many new hoses, gaskets and vacuum lines, all new fluids and a rebuilt carburetor, A/C has been converted to R134a and is cold.  Now for the bad:  The power steering motor leaks a little and I have a new one but probably will not install it before selling.  The paint is weak and has one small spot of surface rust that has been covered with primer(I tried to show in the picture).  It has not rusted through! ( There is no rust damage anywhere on the car) Chrome trim pieces should be replaced along with some weatherstripping.  The car is not completely waterproof and Im sure most never were but has no major leaks.  I keep it under a cover just to be safe. Upholstery has some tears or holes, its original (tried to show the largest one in picture) and carpet is ok but not great.  One speed on A/C heater fan does not work, 2 other speeds are fine.  I also have a front end rebuild kit with new bushings, springs and struts that I will sell with the car.  The car drives and tracks straight but I bought them on a closeout and felt it would be good to replace after 33 years.  Just like most people I never found the time to do it.   I bought the car to drive on weekends but new baby means no time for toys.  Again the car runs and drives fine for such an old car and I drove it home 200 miles when I bought it before everything was replaced.  I have the original owners manuel and 2 service manuels along with a Motor Trend magazine featuring the 1980 Sunchaser as well.  The car is supposed to be original miles and was in storage for many years.  My local mechanic had no reason to doubt the miles but these are only 5 digit odometers so there is no way to be sure.  I have covered everything I can think of but feel free to ask a question before bidding.  Winner must make arrangements to pick up vehicle within 2 weeks of end of auction.  Purchase must be made in person with cash or at your bank in the Birmingham/Hoover AL area.

Toyota gives a free RAV4 to 50-millionth customer [w/video]

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Not surprisingly, the 50-millionth Toyota product sold in the US was a Camry, but Toyota had a big surprise in store for Michael Dee, the buyer of said milestone vehicle. Toyota group vice president Bill Fay showed up at Dee's house to not only personally thank him for the purchase, but also completely paid off that brand new Camry, presenting the owner with a clear title.
But that wasn't all. As you can tell from the image above, Fay had one more trick up his sleeve. The group VP brought along a brand new 2013 Toyota RAV4, which was also presented to Dee in appreciation. The best part is that Dee's genuine amazement was all caught on video, which is posted below.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
