FS: 1981 Corolla 2dr Sedan RWD 5sp

[RutRoe]

Well, after a lot of thought and work, I'm putting up the corolla for sale.

MAKE ME A GOOD OFFER AND IT'S YOURS !!!!!!!!!!

PM ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Make:Toyota
Model:Corolla 2door "sedan" 5 speed
Year:1981 w/ 1980 front clip
Mileage: not totally sure...the spedometer works and shows somwhere over 100K
Options: AC, defrost I think. It was some sort of deluxe model when made
Mods: Car has a header on it, it's been lowered with cut springs, Supra rims 14x7 with BRAND NEW 195/60/14 Tires.
Engine: 3tc toyota 1.8lt

Condition: Car runs and drives great...lots of possibilities for it. I have extra factory springs for the rear since it is so low. I swapped the complete front slip and passenger door over from my 1980 parts car. All lights are wired up and ready, plus I have a brand new set of HELLA headlights to go in for the new owner.

The car had some slight suspension damage when I first bought it and I fixed most of it. You can tell in a couple pics that it still has some camber issues on the front passenger side. It appears the frame is tweaked slightly and is about 1/2 off. I'm sure there are lots of places that could pull it no problem for not a lot of money.

It's a really fun car, wish I had time to finish it, but all the work I did to it was in the off season, and now I wont have much time again to do stuff with it.

Front seats aren't that great, other than that, its ready for a paint job and some fine tuning.

Small rust issues on the driver's side quarter panel but those should be a pretty easy fix....JAMSPEED on here has a great set of Mikuni carbs and an intake manifold that I was planning on buying but I'm sure he'd give the new owner a great deal on them.

PRICE: $1500 OBO
CONTACT METHOD: PM me or email me at [email protected]

Here's some pics... thanks for looking

[RutRoe]

Thanks man

If someone wants to buy it soon, then you can take the complete parts car as well... to my knowledge it is still at my mechanic's in the back of the shop.


Price is OBO, and please dont think that I'm unclear on the car's value. Search around, make me an offer.

Thanks man, I know there's some good stuff in there, but I just dont have the need for it...

Maybe if you get that stuff sold soon though you could come get this bad boy.

Thanks and all PM's returned.

[Kalifornia087]

Holy SHit! Is this the same Car that was f/s a while ago!? Man i wish i could have bought it before.. :( I'll trade you a 1989 civic Hatch LoL... Man i wish i had the money for this car.. Good luck with the sale, great seller, when i talked to him before, i was very pleased with how honest he was about shit.

[Stormhammer]

[one11racing]

pmsent

[RutRoe]

Thanks you guys, all pm's returned.

I did sell it to a friend, who bought a parts car for it, and then I loved it so much I bought it back from him and did a lot of work to it...

My wife has watched my have like 15+ cars in the past couple years, so it's time for her to get what she wants...I think a Honda Pilot, so I've gotta sell all my toys and make some downpayment money.

Thanks Austin, as most people that really know me will attest, I just try to be honest with everyone...it's a lot easier than not being, that's for sure.

[RutRoe]

I think you're right justin... but it should still be in your driveway :)

[PostScript]

We'll see tomorrow . . . . . It needs to be in my hands, I'll make it into the car you started out to make ;)

Nah man. Not even close. But feel free to make a real offer.

[RutRoe]

Just came from the car... its awesome. someone needs to get this bad boy.. Parts car is still there and you can either take what you want off of it or take the whole thing and build that bad boy too.

Make me some good offers peeps

[Kalifornia087]

If my civic was sold i would be banging down your door right now..... we'll see yet!!

-Austin

[RutRoe]

Austin I hope your civic sells soon so you can come get it.. I need to move this bad boy.

And like I said, complete parts car comes with it, or just grab what you want off of it.

[Kalifornia087]

Hey man, willing to finance a little? j/w
Thanks

-Austin

[RutRoe]

only 100% financing.. I mean... zero percent.. err....no.

Sorry. :)

[Kalifornia087]

:mad:

por que!?

[RutRoe]

I'm driving it around today... what a fun ass little car.

It's gonna make someone really happy. MAybe me if someone else doesn't buy it soon

[RutRoe]

Will have a new clutch installed on Tuesday...I might knock off a little cash if you want me to put the old 14'' Motegi's back on.

So make some offers....Rear springs have been installed and look great. Car has a nice rake to it.

[sebastianHoff]

hum i may try and get a real job this week.

[RutRoe]

Well think about it Sebastian.. I've got the parts car if you want anything on it...

The clutch should be here on monday and probably in by wed. afternoon just depending on how busy my mechanic is. I leave thursday for Vegas, so if someone wants it this week, keep that in mind.

Thanks

[rbwdriven]

Rut,

does the parts car have better rear quarters. Is the car dependable enough to drive from where your at to woodstock?

Thanks
Rich

[RutRoe]

Hey Rich...

PArts car has a great body with the exception of the front door and complete front end, since I switched them from this car.

I had thought about cutting the quarters, but someone else could really just put a front end on from the junkyard and built that one too. I took the radiator out so this car would have an extra and the fan, otherwise I didn't touch it. It has two carbs in the back seat too.

The car runs great, I drove it all over yesterday before I blew the clutch, but its probably better it went now, and then someone will be really happy with it.

It's a 5 speed so it cruises fine on the highway. It will need an alignment cause it pulls the right pretty good, but if there's something else related to the suspenion that you need, it's all on the parts car.

And I'm not getting another corolla for a while, so I have to sell this one with the supra wheels.

Rich, I think as a whole, the clutch, alignment, and maybe some slight tuning of the carb is all it would need to be a good daily driver. Once the car gets warm it idles great, but you have to keep some slight throttle to it if it's cold.

[rbwdriven]

Rut,

Got any pics of the interior and engine.

I'm trying to find a car with a back seat. My crx is a little small for my son and I. I'm shopping for a car with a back seat. I'd rather have an old school car than a new one.

So basically if I wanted I could get the parts car as well or strip off of it what I wanted?

Thanks
Rich

[IndianStig]

trade for car in sig?

[RutRoe]

Rich I don't have any engine shots or shots of the interior I dont think. the two front seats are pretty rough. I was going to either throw some covers on for the short term, or ideally just put some nice race buckets up front. Corolla GTS seats and MR2 first gen seats fit perfectly in there I've read.
The back seat's in good shape. Seatbelt on either side. Carpet's in good shape.

My friend I sold it to made a nice short shifter for it...

Def. has a few kinks to work out, but a fun fun car for sure. It lit up the tires on the crappy clutch, so I have a feeling once the clutch is in this week, it should be a quick little toy.

And I'll pm you fastboyamin.

Thanks!

[RutRoe]

TTT Love to move it this week

[IndianStig]

this week???

can you wait till second week in april?

my dad will be back from london then, and as im only 16 my accord is in his name

[RutRoe]

If that car's not sold by the 2nd week of april, I'll be sleeping in it :)

I'm sure it's gonna be gone soon, especially with a brand new clutch....sorry man.

[claytonsmith]

:( aww damnit man.. wish i had some cash.. good luck on the sale

[DurtySpeed]

Damn man, I have been watching this thread. I tried to buy it a while ago and I also tried to get you to sell it a couple of months ago. Sucks cause I am not in the position to get it now. If you don't want to trade my bike for your truck. Then I would consider trading for this if you had a way to get the rust fixed(I don't have access to a welder). Cause I would want to get it in flat black primer asap. I would need to drive it daily too but it seems like it runs good enough for that.

[RutRoe]

Thanks CLayton....

Connect, I didn't realize that was you.. how funny. I dont have a welder, nor do I have time to fix the rust... it's really not that bad, plus you do have a complete parts car to get everything off of.

If my friend who is looking for a bike likes yours, then I'd be fine with trading... I just have to have something of value for something of value trade... you know?

But, I've had lots of interest, I just need a firm buyer. I'm not asking any more for it with the new clutch, I just want it sold...

So I'll tell my friend and see what he says, but I need cash for another possible ride and to pay for new carpet at our house, so that's where I stand with everything.

[DurtySpeed]

Cool, just let me know if he is intereted. He is welcome to come ride it.

[IndianStig]

fucking prom giving me a $600 hit, at least

otherwise i would have just enough cash

[RutRoe]

YOu'd be the coolest guy at prom in this thing... especially if you dont paint it before then :)

[LQQKITZME]

man i am thinking about trading with you rut that car looks pretty bad ass
would it drive daily??
and your still way the F out there arent you?? I want to look at it and drive it

I am very intrested

[RutRoe]

Lee I'm still down here in Peachtree City... not that far really.

We have a new clutch for it that should be in this week. I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow, so early next week would be a great time for you to check it out....I still want all the linkage and tranny stuff too though, so don't sell that yet :)

I think it would be a great daily driver... fun for sure. Still has AC on it, just needs to be charged.

You'd probably want to throw either some seats covers on it or some cheap buckets in cause the front seats are rough... think about it though, comes with a complete parts car or just take what you want !

[RutRoe]

TTT for a sale this week !!!!

All PM's answered

[RutRoe]

LEts get this bad boy sold....

[Kalifornia087]

[Kalifornia087]

This car will be mine if it kills me!

[Sport1.3]

if your wanting to sell the car with the motegi's i would love to take the supra wheels off your hands. they would look sweet on my MR2!!!

[Kalifornia087]

Sorry the supras are going with it when i buy it (or trade it...) i just haven't gotte a hold of rut yet.

[Kalifornia087]

Ok since im going to be at school and IA is blocked there, leave me a message at (404) 395-6862 with your number so i can call you as soon as i get out of school. Thanks

-Austin

[RutRoe]

I just pm'd you and text'd you my digits....

[RutRoe]

TTT
Make me some offers people

[claytonsmith]

$800 i'll be there saturday night to pick it up :)

[RutRoe]

$1100 and you'll have to wait till sunday night since I'll be in Bristol for the race....

:)

Come on clayton, you know you're ready for this monster !


PM me if you really want to work something out Clayton

[EJ25RUN]

bump for a great car. if i could, it would be mine right now.

[RutRoe]

TTT

Make me an offer !!!!

[rhds14]

I have a guy that wants to buy it. Is it still running pretty well?

[RutRoe]

YEp... still runs just fine.

Next buyer will probably want to play with the carb a little and get the car to where they want it... it idles just fine. You have to give it a little gas at first if its really cold outside, but other than that, its a great little project.

Not to mention, people can get these cars in the 12's with home made turbo kits... or toss a rotary in there and look out.

Complete parts car could be put on the road also with a little work. It's like 2 cars for the price of one.

[IndianStig]

still interested

ill pm you as soon as i find out more on my situation

[RutRoe]

SOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks for all the interest everybody...I'm sure we'll see more of her as the new owner gets her where she needs to be
