1974 Toyota Corolla Levin (TE37) without a Face, Special Mazdas: JC Cosmo, Le Mans 787b

The JC COSMO is my absolute favorite car!

[@wasabicars]

Absolutely gorgeous cars. Sadly, none exist that I can afford

1:10 Your title reminded me of Billy Idol's Eyes without a face Yep, seems to fit 😉 "(Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face Got no human grace Your eyes without a face"

[@phoenixrising7047]

Memories right here! Owned a KE55 (1979) for 6 or 7 years - did so much driving on the old 4K. Reckon I changed the oil twice! Unbreakable in my experience. Anyway - onto the JC Cosmo, one of my idol cars for a long, long time.....

[@MrTBoneMalone]

I used to have one of these as a kid in the 80's. It was completely stock, and the 2TC engine wasn't anything special as far as horse power, but the car was spectacular in the corners. I lived in the country on a very windy road, and I used to really love running that thing for all it was worth.

[@garagetwentynine4023]

That background tune though! Thought I'd clicked onto the wrong website for a second

[@GOTIME-CO]

This car is seriously cool. I've seen a te27 but never a te37, although they're pretty similar. They suit the brown/green colours so well, I absolutely love them

[@gaijinmonster]

Had one of these for a while back in the day in NZ. Was the local corolla sr coupe 1300cc version. We seemed to have quite a lot still around in the 90s and so cheap! Was so clean and tidy in an off white colour. Stupidly sold it cheap to a mate when it started playing up. Would be worth a bit now if that mate hadnt started cutting the springs and generally ruining it. Bet it didnt survive much longer after that.

[@IrishWannabe]

That Levin is so beautiful man, hard to miss such a beauty at a Car show 😍

[@gred_cz]

cool :). imho it deffo looks better on the watanabes for sure. what i also noticed is the licence plates are the ones that light up, but these usally tend to be rather bulky to house the lightbulb and stuff. i wonder if its just the outer plate without lighting back, or if its these modern thin LED panels, i seen these on YAJ haha

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I may be the odd man out here but I’m not keen for the over fenders and I did like the orange wheels Maybe gold wheels would match the brown perfectly 👍👍😍😍 Have a good week dan

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Wow, Daniel. I LOVE that Cosmo. I wish we got that here in the States. I still have the model of the 787 you sent me. I'm a little slow on my video watching. I just had hip replacement surgery on Tuesday.

[@wasabicars]

Oh! Damn. And, i guess the surgery had been put off due to Covid19? Hope you're feeling better soon

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

@@wasabicars No, I had it done, but I was tested before surgery. I'm recovering now and probably a few months to go. I'm a whole lot better than was and after this one heels I get the right one done.

[@sethpetersen3622]

I owned 2 TE31 rollas here in South Africa and both had that vent

[@wasabicars]

Nice. Thanks, Seth

[@1414sami]

I like your videos mate, we need more of it.

[@jamescurran1375]

Love the non gtr skyline grille. Makes such a nice difference to the usual ones you see

[@wasabicars]

On which generation of Skyline?

[@bunsenb]

@@wasabicars my favourite is the Datsun 240K-GT grille

[@jamescurran1375]

WasabiCars well on most old skylines I suppose but I’m talking about the c10 estate in the video :)

[@bunsenb]

i own a KE35 Coupe love the flares and the interior looks mint!

[@bunsenb]

They got the 2T-C engine in the american SR5 Coupes but in Australia and New Zealand they all were K engines the sporty models came with 3K-B Twin Carb id love to chuck A 2T-GEU into mine one day

[@Tiger351]

The few I've seen here in Aus have fake vents in the same spot (they don't actually do anything except look cool lol). Very rare cars over here (at least in NSW).

[@wasabicars]

Just googled. The vents you mean are arranged one on each side? That's another reason why the TE37 one blew my mind

[@chevdad1566]

I remember that brown color from my 1st 78 Corolla sedan back '89.

[@wasabicars]

:)

[@reddermot]

Hi Dan. I owned a JDM Te55 Levin for a while. 2T-GEU but no bonnet vent. Maybe the vent was just a TE37 thing?

[@60frederick]

Great Video, Daniel! Have an awesome weekend!

[@wasabicars]

Thanks, Frederick. You too :)

[@martinsmith5439]

Hello. I know this is an old post but I have a TE37 under my house complete with grilles and spare engine with Mikuni carbs and Yamaha head. Its used to be a club rally car. I didnt know they were rare? Is it worth anything?

[@wasabicars]

Hi Martin. It's gonna depend on heaps of things. Certainly location, but I don't know which country you're in. Having said that, I'm just not the person to ask. In Japan, super rare, and you could get a good price, but I still don't know what price. Try joining a lot of classic Toyota groups on Facebook

[@mobiusclean6440]

Hi Daniel 😃 A cool video there and lucky you getting taken for a spin in that Cosmo.I am assuming that it is the 20b version? Cheers

[@wasabicars]

I can't say for sure it was a 20b. 3 Rotor badges are missing, and didn't get to see under the bonnet. Hopefully, I shall see what's going on in there one day

[@de558fesdfer3]

Hi! Thank you for the content, very nice to see these amazing cars, especially when your location is Ukraine, where these cars in very very few. I would like to ask, do you seen original Supra 70 and City turbo 1st gen? I didn't find it on the channel, I will happy to see it's in original because I have and drive these both :-) but they not clean like jdm of course, Thank you for a response, regards!

[@stevensvtg]

😍😍😍

[@traxnada]

Hey Daniel, the Le Mans racecar is a 767B, not a 787B :) It belongs to Senji Hoshino and it's actually tuned right next to my place by Eco CPU... I keep on missing it when it goes there though lol

[@wasabicars]

Hey?? I checked and double checked. I even just checked. 787b

[@wasabicars]

Unless you're saying they've mocked up a 767b as a 787b to display...

[@traxnada]

@@wasabicars Huuuum.... Just realized there is the 767B #202 that I know but also a 787B #202... Just went by the number as I can't differentiate either car... But after a bit of googling it it does seem to be a 787B as they have a different front splitter... Why on earth would they have the same # on both cars?? Alright, my bad :)

[@wasabicars]

Don't feel bad. I honestly prefer to double double check. I appreciate it

[@traxnada]

@@wasabicars Yeah I just saw #202 and thought it was Hoshino-san's immediately :) That 767B was at the Tokyo Auto Salon last year too... or maybe it was the 787B... wtf do I know now haha
