Thinking about 1966 Toyota Corona...

My girlfriend is pissed off at me yet again :thumbsup: I'm thinking about picking up a clean 1966 Toyota Corona as a project. I always loved vintage Japanese cars, especially small 4-door ones with little 4-cylinders and RWD. I'm already thinking about what I'd do to it if I decide to buy it (twin webers, velocity stacks, header, blah blah)


If I do go ahead and buy it (and survive the 70 mile drive home in 115 degree heat with it) I'll paint it and take some pics.

I'm definately thinking about buying the car... Parts actually aren't as hard to come by as you'd think for an antique grocery-getter :naughty:

To be honest with you it sounds like a money pit. But what ever makes you happy.

sport bike because if you ever want to unload it, theres always someone willing to pay for a vintage bike.
