FS:1980 toyota corolla (TE72 3TC)

[johnzm]

hey guys,

posting up my 1980 corolla. i never though id part with her.

its got about 9x,xxx on the odometer, i am not sure if its rolled over or not.

its got some rust here and there, but nothing that cant be fixed. the exterior itself is solid and the trunk is still solid too.

the car drives beautifully. ive put about 5000 miles on it, and i wouldnt hesitate to drive anywhere in GA with it. it does consume a little oil. ive driven it enough to know that every second tank of gas i put a 1qt of oil in.
motor pulls hard and transmission shifts GREAT. has a new clutch in it.

it has a brand new dash and the seats are in decent shape. the entire interior is really in decent shape.

it has the AC compressor and stuff on it. i did a R134 conversion and i put a new drier in, and charged it but it didnt work. might need some other parts to get the AC running again.

ive also replaced the clutch master, tie rod ends, idler arm, right rear wheel cylinder. it will come with some nice little 13's and 2 of the tires are new, the rears are getting near replacement. it will also come with the original set of 14 wheels with some tires on them.

i upgraded the front suspension and brakes. they are bigger vented pieces off of a AE86 style corolla. ive also got a spare RF complete brake/suspension assy because the one thats on there clunks. its a 10 minute install i might get to it before its sold.

by the way if u really like the chassis do ur research. almost every ae86 suspension part bolts up so its real easy to get it sideways (rear end, suspension rear sway bars disc brake conversions coilovers ect all bolts up)

the car has a 2 piece header on it right now, and its missing the gasket, so the exhaust leaks a bit, and its not exactly quiet. but im throwing in a header so all you have to do is get the exhaust fabbed up to it and then it will be quiet and faster.

it has a pretty short rear end in it (i forget what it is) but itll get up and go. its definatly fun to drive. oh ya this car was an auto-manual conversion. so whatevre rear end is in the auto car is whats in this.

it also has an upgraded weber style carb on it. i believe its a 32/36.


this is a great little car guys, but ive upgraded to a 4 door accord (ironically the accord is broken more thant he corolla ever was LOL)

im asking 1200 bux. and ill get better pics this weekend

[Sammich]

tell u the truth..i'm actually in love...i'd get a fresh coat of paint, the same color and leave it just like that. nice yota

[Scotsman]

holy f'n hotness , wish i had the cash

[Initial EG]

that musta been a nice camera that took those pics

[puregroove]

This car's freakin' dope. --got a chance to ride in it. John, I didn't forget about this car. I just can't add anymore cars to the collection. --good luck. --really coo dude.

[hemi]

PM me your bottom dollar... I've been looking for a new dd.

[johnzm]

bottom dollar right now is 1200. i dont NEED to seeit go, and its reliable enoughto drive ever day.

[FutureManLS]

Id love to see a S2000 motor in this beast...If my mustang sells anytime soon, well talk

[DeeAOne]

this is a sweet deal, if i wasnt trying to get another accord i would jump on this. gl with the sale.

(lol i know all about the whole broken accord thing, it sucks.)

[RutRoe]

That's a steal for that... I know all about the work that was done since not only John is my friend, but my friend Joe that he bought it from kept me up on the whole thing.

This a great car and probably a lot nicer than my old te72, and frankly, I'd love to buy this and rub it in all of your faces, but we have a baby due today, and I think it prefers the AC in my suby.

Bump for a great seller and a fun car.

I TOTALLY VOUCH FOR JOHN.

[kaotickaozpunk]

any trades?

[johnzm]

maybe! i am down for trades! pm me with offers

[Scotsman]

i have a 94 EG sedan , mildly modded , search my posts , + a lil cash on your part

[johnzm]

hey guys, im particularly looking for a hdtv. if anyone wants to trade something 40+ inches 720 or 1080, shoot me a pm.

i am not particularly interested in another car. ive got way too many as it is and lack of funds and time is my primary reason for selling. (this is the *third* project car in my stable right now, trying to trim it dwn to 2)

[bigpanda16]

if it was slammed with no bumpers, and cheaper...

[.:Stirfry:.]

tell u the truth..i'm actually in love...i'd get a fresh coat of paint, the same color and leave it just like that. nice yota

x2. g/l on sale man.
only if i had the cash

[Big_Dave]

John, drive this car out to the dam old skool meet this saturday, June 14 at 3:00 at the lowerside of buford dam. Put a for sale sign in it, and I bet some one buys this car that day. Quad light corollas are stupid hard to come by, and the 4 door versions look better than the two door ones. I'll post a link to the meet. For real bring it out, alot of people will be there that don't even look on this website. As far as trading, do you need some paintwork on a car?

[Big_Dave]

here's the old skool meet link. Old skool. RWD Jap cars Only
I'm gonna post one more link to a car I painted.

[Big_Dave]

here's a link to my corolla GTS. I did all of the body, engine paint, and the wheels
twin cam turbo ftw!!!!
PM me if you might be interested in some kind of trade.

[Jenson]

Bump for u what mpg u getting? I'd trade the Eg if its decent, I got 49.3 last weekend
