Well, as the Hooniverse Classic Toyota Weekend winds down, I thought I would show you the classic Toyota everyday working vehicle that is only now achieving some of the notoriety its due, the Toyota Corona. This happens to be a 1969 model, and it was in a collection of a Toyota connoisseur.


According to the eBay listing:

Up for auction a really special and almost impossible to find 1969 Toyota Corona 1900 Deluxe sedan with on 27,480 “documented” original miles! This amazing survivor was purchased from it’s original owner by a local collector who brought it to us. The original owner decided not to spend the additional $70.00 for a radio and clock! Those deleted options kept the original price under the $2,000.00 in 1969.

The exterior is in all-around excellent original condition. The paint shines like new. There is no rust, damage or blemishes anywhere. The same is to be said about the chrome, wheel covers and glass. The interior is equally as amazing. Like the outside, the inside is also completely original and in superior condition. The seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, dash and instrument package are all near perfect. The original numbers matching 4 cyl. engine and 4 speed transmission preform like they did in 1969. The car runs strong, straight, quiet, and stops on a dime.

Early Japanese cars have become very collector worthy. And unlike the muscle cars that are declining in value, these rare cars are steadily rising in the collector market. There are none nicer and more original then this one! Unlike other classic car dealers who photograph their vehicles in professionally lighted studios, or on Hollywood drive ways, we at Fuzzy Dice shoot our pictures on our lot using only natural lighting and a “point and shoot” camera. So what you see is what you get.

The current bid is at $5,500 with an unmet reserve. the Buy-it-Now price is $8,500, which may be on the high side, but then again, maybe not. See the listing here.
