Had one of these. A 69 Toyota Corona. Bought it for $50 bucks and had to rebuild the motor. Put about 80K miles on it an then gave it to my sister, who put another 50K or so on it. Then she sold it for $100 bucks. When I first put it together it had a 2 speed automatic that would tach up to about 5000rpm, slam into second and the whole car would shutter. That lasted about a week until it blew up and I had to drive 5 miles home in reverse. Luckly we lived in the country. Then converted to manual and it ran great. Got the car mainly because my mother had a 69 Corona new and it lasted forever. My next was a 71 Vega that I dropped a 283 Corvette motor in.
