Looks really clean

How did it survive

Wow, that Yota's been kept in impeccable condition. I liked those old ones, their front grilles had a muscle-car'ish look to them, with the paired headlights on either side and a meaner look than most other imports back in the day. The long hood and roofline also vaguely resemble muscle-cars of that era, it's rather Mustang-like.

I wish my Charger was in that good a shape to begin with! Looks like you have almost nothing to restore...

Killer 1st gen facelift

Are you planning to restore it to original specs or build it up?

Back in the 90's I had a 71. Also had a 74 hilux. Been looking to get another of each ever since. That one is a nice speciment of the breed

Wow, I haven't seen one that clean in a loooong time. Nice car. Good reliable daily driver too, once it's done.

Looks perfect, I bet you got it for a song too!

Lets see the interior and engine bay! What about rust on the rear 1/4 panels? Any?

SIK car!

What a great color, dig it!

Post by **teman** » Sat Sep 15, 2012 12:24 pm

I'm guessing the paint color is Orange Metallic Toyota #337 or Orange Toyota # 352. Either way, It does appear to be original

Just maybe not the driver's side front fender
