This Toyota is a rare 1987 FX-16 powered by the legendary 4age sixteen-valve fuel-injected engine - the same engine as the mid-engined Toyota MR-2. Of the various models of Toyota Corolla, the FX-16 exhibits the performance and agility of a sports car. The interior is excellent - no rips, no tears, no seams coming apart, no drooping headliner and no tatty carpeting. It's all good. The exterior would benefit from a re-spray. There are a few tiny rust bubbles on the lower right corner of the hatch and left rear fender - small stuff, and easily fixed. Solid underbody and floor-pans. The body is arrow-straight. The tires are nearly new and well-balanced. About 20k-miles ago a donor engine with 90k-miles on it was installed. Prior to installation, the dohc head was reconditioned. A new clutch kit was installed, and the timing belt, tensioner and water pump were replaced. This unique car comes with equipment usually only found in newer models - p/s, a/c, Blaupunt cd player, fuel-injection, 5-speed gearbox, and a sixteen valve dohc engine. If you're looking for a unique, peppy, fuel-efficient car (30 - 35-mpg). This is the one for you. No disappointments. To drive this car is to love it!
