What I am offering here is the rare opportunity to own an original 1974 TE27 SR5 Corolla show car. This car has lived its entire, rust free life, in California. Clean title, recently registered after being off the DMV records for 30 years. I rescued this beauty from the back of a 500 acre farm after sitting for 10 years. I have spent 8 years and thousands of hours bringing her back to as close to original as possible.
This car is not a clone and includes all of the TE27 SR5 goodies:
•10 bolt rear end
•T50 5 speed manual transmission
•Original metal flares
•Center console with clock replaced with a near mint condition one from Spain
•Wood grain dash in mint condition
•Perfect replication Red pinstriped upholstery fabricated and installed by Grant Donaldson (New Zealand)
•Original Turquoise Metallic Blue paint code 707....absolutely gorgeous color. This color is very rare on Corollas but was more common on Celicas.
NOS OEM pieces: door handles, fender corner garnishes, emblems, front grill "C".
