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.

Slowly, the many loose threads still dangling after the unintended acceleration issue Toyota faced a few years ago are being resolved. The Orange County District Attorney's office was believed to be the first DA's office to take Toyota to court, its suit alleging that Toyota knew its cars had defects and continued to sell them. The suit sought to "permanently enjoin Toyota from continued unlawful, unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices as it pertains to both consumers and competitors" and asked for $2,500 "for every violation of the Unfair Business Practices Act," plus costs.
That suit has now been settled, Toyota - without admitting fault or wrongdoing - agreeing to pay $16 million to the county. Half of the money will go to the Orange County Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership, another four million dollars to the OC DA's office to investigate economic crime, the remaining four million being used to pay for the case.

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.
According to a report from Automotive News, the sales expectations came from Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations for Toyota USA, during a dealers during a meeting in Atlanta. The heightened expectations go along with Toyota's predictions for the US market as a whole, which it expects to grow to 15.5 million units by the end of 2013.
Besides an overall, national uptick in new vehicle sales, Toyota is also expecting a big push as it puts the next-generation Corolla to market during the second half of this year, along with the Tundra pickup truck. Meanwhile, dealers were shown images of a refreshed Camry, set to arrive in 2015, and reported that it's "more than a nip and a tuck," according to the AN report.
