SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!
This 1984 Toyota Corolla KE70 has been saved from the crusher, and could be yours. It has passed a NSW blueslip/roadworthy inspection.
[COLOR=#1D2129][FONT=helvetica]In point form:
- All original vehicle, passed NSW blueslip inspection (still valid)
- Healthy and strong 1.3L 4k engine.
- Excellent interior, with dashpad being the only blemish.
- Good shifting 5-speed and clutch
- Quiet diff, no clunks/bearing noise
- Reasonable suspension, could be freshened up.
- Good front tyres; just passable rear tyres - ideal to rotate and replace current rears.
- Body presents well, only rust is in right rear wheel arch and is minimal.
- Price is $1600 or best offer.
- No rego. But you can put it on!
The Spiel:
The Corolla has been a local Cooma car (mountainous, non-rusty air) for what is believed to be the majority of its' life. The wrecker said it was owned by an old fella, who drove it regularly around town. It's a shame it ended up at the wreckers, but that's where my friend and I came in, when we swept this car up to give it a new lease on life.
The Corolla is completely original, has 217000km, and drives very well. It drove flawlessly from Cooma to Canberra (100km), and with just one person in the car, it would stick to 100km/h, and had the guts to overtake slow vehicles. Although the car is very comfortable to drive and the suspension has plenty of life left in it, some new shocks and bushes would not go unnoticed. The tyres are good up front, but the rears are just legal, so some modern tyres would also greatly improve the handling and ride comfort. The gearbox is a 5 speed, and shifted very well, and the clutch worked perfectly too. The diff had no disconcerting noises. The interior is in excellent condition, with all door trims, seats and carpet presenting very well - the only fault being the dashpad has cracked and lifted in front of the passenger. All electrics work in the car, and although they work, the speakers for the AM/FM radio should be replaced. The body of the car is in overall good condition, and presents very well. There is only 1 spot of rust in the right rear wheel arch, and all panels are relatively tidy with no major dents. The bonnet has some clear coat lifting, which could have some attention given to it. The engine bay is completely original, with everything in fantastic condition. A fresh AC Delco battery provides plenty of cold-cranking amps for cold morning starts. The first time I saw the car start, it came to life on the first revolution of the flywheel, so it has plenty of compression and seems to be a very healthy motor. We have given the car the detail of its life, to remove all interior grime, and a good clean outside and degrease of engine bay. We have also given the engine a checkup: cleaned sparkplugs, checked points gap, adjusted ignition timing, and given the carburetor a good flush with carby cleaner and a tune. There appear to be no oil leaks, and all fluids were at optimum levels when we purchased this vehicle, so it is ready to drive away! If we didn't already have "enough" cars in our life, my friend and I would have kept this to ourselves, so come and give this Corolla a new home.
For the time, effort and money we have spent rescuing, transporting, cleaning and tuning this honest and original Corolla, we feel that $1600 is a reasonable price. Offers will be highly considered. Inspection is recommended, however, we can provide additional photos upon request.
