Same colour as mine, I hardly ever see this colour for whatever reason. What about in Cali? Nice rust free body, here you will basically never see this vintage Camry with no rust.
Nice car and especially like the 5-speed, it's a keeper. BTW, do you find the ES250 strut bar does anything? I don't notice any difference honestly.

Thank you. I tend to see some maroon Camrys around but I have seen only two or three around the same area.. I have had some rust issues, the car was from Kearny Mesa,Ca. My Uncle bought her brand new. He drove the Camry every day to the Navy Base. He then passed it down to my cousin, who gave it back to my uncle then it was passed down to my mom, up until 09 i got a hold of the Camry " Old Faithful" . The rust is very little, in the drivers A pillar, left rear door, and rear deck lid from someone closing it on some object. the trunk pan from taking in water, I cant seem to get that fixed But as for the Es-250 strut Bar, i Did notice a little difference, but she needs new Struts. So i am debating if I should to buy coil overs or new KYB struts.. I just remembered , there was on maroon camry almost identical to mine, it had the base wheels, blue and yellow plates, may have been an 87model. but it was an auto,auto windows, black rubber two piece bumpers and said Le i can`t seem to remember that part...

looks great for having 271k miles on it. Engine bay looks even better for the mileage.
Thank You , I try to keep it clean , but I cannot seem to get all the dust out.

I have a '91 base-model that same Maroon color, and the '88 All-Trac isn't far off. I can't see owning a Camry in any other color.
Maroon on camrys gen2 look great! mine had tints but they turned purple
but the color itself is classy.

you dont have a filter on your intake? i crazy glued mines onto that sensor and covered up the spaces. i like yuors better its more straight
He has a cone air filter on there - its just not visible. The intake pipe goes to the side of the battery and down into the fender well below the batter where the filter sits. It guarantees cold air from outside the engine bay - just don't hit any huge puddles... A little water is fine/good for a motor - a lot will break it.
