Hi everybody. I recently nabbed this poor little 71 corona that no one wanted. It cost me $50 to save her from the crusher. The paint seems to be original, but the body is straight. It also doesnt have an engine.... ah well. I am in Idaho finishing school and the car is at a friends place in the Portland, OR area. Not sure of my plans with the car yet, Ill get to deciding that once I move back home and get a look at it for myself. Well Im sure you all want to see pics, so here ya go...

Nice project car for only $50. ^Looks like your friend has a couple of Celicas on the go

85ra65 · 12-23-2008, 08:33 PM

Yeah, he's definitely a toyotaholic. He has 4 2nd gen celicas, 3 3rd gens, an 85 cressida and an 81 Corona wagon. My little project car for sure isnt lonely

^LOL, yeah, I know how it is, I've got three 4th Gen Celicas myself.
The body on your Corona looks pretty straight, just surface rust only I hope.
