[another one bytes the bug..]
well, talk about slow... I got a Toyota Corrola (sp?) for $800 last year..
I put 1000 miles + a month, the car is a 72 1600cc 2 doors a/c. Some
parts are still connected with garden wire (muffler, carburator & hot air
vent, air conditioning console) or superglue (back lights). The devil
has a 2 speed auto transmission and will do 0 to 55 in 1 hour probably,
but on the highway on super unleaded it can stand 90 mph easily for prolonged
periods of time, limited only by police presence. I don't think that
old, well used cars are for throws.. I still love it. I have seen
a lot of '72-'74 Toyotas and Mazdas around here, and most still
go strong. Guess they don't build them as they used too....
Only problem: 22mpg in city, 27mpg highway (My measurements, not EPA's)
Right now I wish I could find a good '72 to '74 celica gt!!!!!
