I simply do not have the time to enjoy this vehicle anymore, and would like to see it go to someone who will get good use out of it. This will make a great daily driver with just a little bit of effort. I would recommend replacing the tires and tie rod ends, as the vehicle has not been used regularly for quite some time. There is no rust other than the light surface rust that can be seen in the photos. The exterior trim pieces have recently been soda blasted (as seen in the photos), and are ready to be painted. The exterior paint is about 10 years old, and is in great shape for its age. As to be expected, there are a few chips, but nothing excessive. The paint on the rear two flares is starting to peel where they are bolted to the body. Two corners at the back bottom of the car about exhaust level are bent up slightly, but can be easily straightened. I do not have the emblems, original dash, or driver's side sun visor. Please note that the speedometer and tachometer are not hooked up currently. I've poured tons of cash into this car, and have put a lot of effort into sourcing rare parts. I've tried to showcase the car in it's entirety within these photos. This vehicle has attended TORC (ToyotaFest) a few years back, and has been taken care of very well. I have never seen another TE27 SR5 before, and probably never will. This is one of the straightest and most rust-free examples of a second gen Corolla around, not to mention one of the rarest. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have!

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.

Toyota confirms i-Road electric trike for production

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The wacky, three-wheeled Toyota i-Road we saw in Geneva earlier this year will be heading to production. But before you run down to your local Toyota dealer looking for one of these all-electric "personal mobility" vehicles, chances are, you'll never actually see one unless you visit Japan.
Announced at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) expo last week, Toyota said that the i-Road would be used as a part of the Ha:Mo car-sharing system in Japan. Weighing in at around 661 pounds, with a 28-mile-per-hour top speed and a two-passenger seating arrangement, the i-Road seems more like a fully enclosed scooter than a car, but it does offer a 30-mile driving range and has a nifty articulating front suspension that leans into corners. As for Ha:Mo, Toyota says that the number of cars in the program will increase from 10 prior to October 1 to 100 by the middle of this month, and the number of stations will almost double from 13 up to 21. Toyota has more details about the car and Ha:Mo in the press release posted below.
