Continuing on with our Classic Toyota Weekend, why not take a look at brand that made Toyota the household name it is today. The Corona was the nameplate that distinguished Toyota in the late 60s and most of the 70s. The Corona was available in a Wagon version, and this 1977 model was probably the pinnacle of Corona Wagons. So, let’s rediscover a 70s Corona Wagon, from Toyota…


This Corona Wagon is offered by the same eBay seller who offered a Brown Datsun 200 SX Roadster that I highlighted back in February. One thing I will say is that this particular seller is thorough when it comes to listing the cars offered for sale. And this Corona is truly exceptional. When was the last time you saw one?

According to the listing:

Here is a very cool and unique 77 Toyota Corona. It runs good and is super clean inside and out. This car is a cool older car. The car runs, drives, and shifts great. This car just floats down the road. I drove it around some and it was a blast and a very nice car to drive. I pulled out the engine and changed all the gaskets and painted in and made the car run almost perfect. A completely degreased the whole engine compartment and now when you open the hood it looks like new. This is such a cool and rare older car I wanted to make it run and look as new as I could.

The body on this car is as straight as can be and the Paint Shines like Brand New. All of the Chrome is in Beautiful condition. It’s hard to find these older cars that are this clean and have been this well kept over the years. The car looks like it was kept in a garage most of it’s life and only driven on occassion. There is a couple minor rust spots which I show you in the pictures. They are not major but should probably be addressed at some point. Other then that this car is just amazing. It’s very rare to find one of these let alone in this good of shape.

The interior on this car is very nice. The seats as you can see are in as new of condition as you will find on a car like this. The carpets are super clean and don’t show hardly wear or have any stains. Has the original AM/FM radio that works. All the heater and vent controls work. The headliner looks like new. Look at the dash and there is one crack in the fake wood or the vinyl. All the gauges are clean and working. You will be hard pressed to find an old classic like this and see the original interior in this good of shape.

The Corona was really a 7/8ths sized American Car. Take a look at the Bench Seat Interior with a Column Shift. Yet, it was different enough to let you know you were driving a Toyota. The asking price forthis very nice wagon is $6,999, which strikes me as a fair price for a vehicle you never see anymore. It does have almost 70,000 miles though, so is it really a good price for a Toyota Wagon? See the listing here.
