Toyota Corolla (1974-1978) for Sale near Ontario

I like the light feel of the steering. The engine is a 1300 but has a nice crisp sound to it. RWD make's the car real fun to go dirt drifting. seemingly unbreakable motor and gearbox. done over 250k with no trouble. I dislike the availability of parts for this car, panels are not an issue, but the little detailed items such as interior are hard to come by. As it is getting older it is getting more and more rare. Great car to look at. It is a Coupe my model. 4 speed manual. great fun to drive am always smiling even in the event of road rage. Mileage is great being a 4 cylinder, 400 kilometers to a tank of 40 liters. Maintenance not much required, just your usual service. which you can do your self because the mechanics are so simple to work on. you cant stuff up hehe

My first car - a blue slantback 2-door E/5 with a white vinyl roof panel. Had a terrific, smooth 5-speed transmission, comfortable bucket seats, handled beautifully, very peppy with the 1.6L engine and got 35+ mph on the highway. It would go up to 70 easily, and up to 85, wih a bit of straining (not bad for a little 4-cylinder). One of the sexiest cars I've ever seen, solidly built, easy upkeep and a joy to drive. Unfortunately, it wasn't built for the east coast, and by 1985 it was rusting out under the driver's door, into the frame and everything. Sold it to a kid for a couple hundred, but I still miss it.

Nice japanese classic Fun to drive Easy to maintain Trouble free Cant wait to retore another one Dual Carbs sounded great Wish I could have the opportunity to have another one Lots of potential Miss it to this day This sucks

The car was originally an automatic vehicle with a 1600cc engine. When I received the car it was a bare shell which was a good thing as I can build it to suit my needs. What I liked is the rear suspension that came with the car was the bigger pumkin which made the handling much better once the modified 2000cc engine went in. The one thing I did not like was the amount of body work required to bring back up to my standards. The car was just alot of power and fun to drive, I would recommend it to anyone especially now that drifting is a sport, the ideal car for the sport.

Good dynamics is another positive. Back in the day the rear wheel drive Corolla was no slouch when it came to handling and driving dynamics and was known as competent performers, especially in SR5 specification. The SR5 had additions such as a 5-speed manual, bolt on fender flares, wider wheels and tires, stiffer suspension and various cosmetic goodies. Combine all that with a peppy 1.6L overhead valve hemi head engine and you have a good foundation for a fun little corner carver for not all that much money
