1973 TOYOTA COROLLA TE27 COUPE - CUSTOM JDM STREET/ SCCA CAR PROJECT CAR - VERY CLEAN CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! (LET ME START BY STATING THAT THIS IS BEING LISTED FOR A FRIEND WHO IS THE SON OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR.) UP FOR SALE IS A 1973 TOYOTA COROLLA COUPE TE27 COUPE. THIS CAR IS ALL CUSTOM AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROJECT FOR OVER 4 YEARS NOW. IT FEATURES ALL BRAND NEW & CUSTOM BODYWORK AND RACING PAINT JOB. BEING AN ORIGINAL ARIZONA GARAGE KEPT CAR, THIS CAR WAS MADE FOR THIS CUSTOMIZING ESPECIALLY HAVING ONLY 34K ORIGINAL MILES TO IT! ALSO, THE CAR NEVER HAD ANY RUST TO IT! THE BODY WAS IN XLNT CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE, AND WAS VERY EASY TO REPAINT & RESTORE THIS. IN FACT HAVING SAVED SOME MONEY FROM NEEDING EXTENSIVE BODY WORK PRIOR TO PAINTING, ENABLED HIS SON TO PAY EXTRA MONEY FOR AN TOP QUALITY PAINT JOB WITH RACING ACCENTS TO IT. THE ONLY EXTENSIVE BODY WORK NEEDED TO IT WAS HAVING THE CUSTOM MERCEDES BENZ TAIL LIGHTS INSTALLED FOR A TOTALLY CUSTOM 1 OF A KIND LOOK TO IT THAT IT HAS! ALSO THE REAR HAS BEEN CUSTOMIZED WITH A STEEL BAR FRENCHED INTO THE REAR FRAME, THEN A CUSTOM HANDMADE FIBERGLASS REAR COVER WAS MADE TO COVER IT. THE STEEL BAR IS 10X STRONGER THAN THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA REAR BUMPER, BUT CAN STILL BE DRILLED INTO TO INSTALL AN ORIGINAL TOYOTA BUMPER AS WELL (FOR THAT ORIGINAL CLASSIC TOYOTA LOOK)! THE FRONT WAS NOT DONE LIKE THE REAR, SO A FRONT BUMPER WILL BE NEEDED AS SOME POINT. THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE BAY WAS NOT REPAINTED LIKE THE EXTERIOR, AND IS STILL TOYOTA YELLOW. THE EXTERIOR PAINT JOB WAS DONE IN 2 TONE RACING ACCENTS WITH BLACK ON TOP, SILVER ON BOTOM, AND A THIN RED PINSTRIPE SEPERATING THE TWO. I THINK HE GOT THE IDEA FROM SOME DUB CITY/ JADA TOYS DIECAST CARS THAT I HAD, WHICH LOOKS BETTER ON THIS THAN THE LITTLE DIECAST CARS! ALSO PLEASE NOTE THE REFLECTIONS (THE BILLBOARD SIGNS IN THE REFLECTIONS ARE ABOUT A QUARTER OF MILE AWAY) IN THE BLACK PAINT TO REPRESENT HOW NICE THIS PAINT JOB IS. (THIS TRUELY NEEDS TO BE SEEN IN PERSON TO APPRECIATE IT!) . NEXT THE INTERIOR WAS REDONE WITH RACING BUCKET SEATS INSTALLED AND THE FRONT & REAR SEATS ARE UPHOLSTERED WITH 2 TONE ACCENTS (BLACK & GREY) AS WELL. THE SEATS ARE STILL IN GREAT CONDITION, BUT BOTH FRONT SEATS COULD USE SOME CLEANING UP TO LOOK NEW AGAIN. THE DOOR PANELS ARE THE ORIGINAL BLACK VINYL AND ARE STILL IN XLNT CONDITION! THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A BLACK LEATHER GRANT GT STEERING WHEEL, WHICH IS IN GREAT CONDITION STILL. OVERALL THE INTERIOR IS STILL IN GREAT CONDITION, BUT COULD USE A LITTLE CLEANING UP TO LOOK NEW AGAIN. THE ONLY THING NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE CUSTOM INTERIOR IS NEW CARPETING & A NEW HEADLINER. THESE ARE BOTH THE ORIGINALS AND DON'T STAND UP TO THE NEWER CUSTOM INTERIOR. THE MANUAL SHIFTER HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A TRD SHORT-THROW SHIFTER AND QUICK SHIFT LINKAGE FOR IT'S 5 SPEED TRANNY. YES, 5 SPEED TRANNY! THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEWER SR5 T5 20 SPLINE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO FEATURES A NEWER CENTERFORCE CLUTCH AND CABLE. ALSO, IT HAS NEW 14" TIRES FITTED TO ORIGINAL TOYOTA CELICA ALUMINUM WHEELS. THE MOTOR IN IT IS IT 'S ORIGINAL STOCK 2TC MOTOR WITH ONLY 34,472 ORIGINAL MILES TO IT. WE ADDED A NEW WATER PUMP AND REBUILT RADIATOR TO IT. IT ALSO HAS HAD A FRESH TUNE-UP (PLUGS & WIRES), NEW VALVE COVER GASKETS, AND RECENT OIL CHANGE. CAR RUNS GOOD, BUT WOULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM A NEWER HIGH PERFORMANCE MOTOR INSTEAD. THIS IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS IT'S GETS FOR ONE OF THESE JDM CLASSIC IMPORT STREET/ SCCA RACERS, SO DON'T PASS ON THIS OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TRUELY 1 OF A KIND ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (P.S. - REMEMBER THIS HAS BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS PROJECT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, SO IT HAS NEVER BEEN RACED OR SEEN AT ANY CAR SHOWS YET - SO YOU COULD BE THE 1ST !!!!!!!!!!) **ALSO, I WILL TAKE & UPLOAD MORE / BETTER PICS OF THE CAR BEFORE THE AUCTIONS ENDS.
