1980 Toyota Corolla SR5 TE72
Well, I had plans for this car but they've never solidified and its time for me to sell it. I'm the second owner and my dad was the first. The car is a 5-spd with 3TC and complete AC (not charged though) and is completely stock. Body is rough but not beyond repair (typical 80's toyota stuff). The odometer cable died before we parked it, so I estimate about 240k on the clock.
It has a recently rebuilt carb and I have a new idler arm & pitman arm with bushings (not installed) for the car. It needs a battery and a fuel pump (as they've died since it sat over the last 3 months)...
It has a healthy motor and was daily driven until it was parked due to failed inspection (see pitman arm, never got time to fix it).
This car is the predocessor to the AE86 and the perk is that the motor is stout, can make some great power and parts are cheap and has many easy/cheap drivetrain upgrades available too. They make for great drag cars as well as drift cars.
The car is located in Hampton, VA and I may be willing to trailer to meet up for a sale.
You can contact me via PM or email.
Pricing is $500 OBO.

would make for a fun toy but alas I have too many and a engine building side business...no time for this one.
If anyone looks up a 3TC motor, you'll quickly see what they are capable of NA and more so boosted.

Re: 1980 Toyota Corolla SR5 TE72
like I said pics will be coming...only parts I might be interested in would be 17x9 wheels on 5x114.3 with offsets near +40...30R to 35R turbos or of similar nature (precision, borg warner) and I'll add cash pending the specific turbo.
Bosch 1000cc injectors + cash
Other than that I really have nothing of any use to acquire.
