ABANDONED - Will it run and drive? - 1965 Toyota Corona

/ @redlineranch.
In this weeks video we dive into my 1965 toyota corona, and see what it’s going to take to get it running and driving again.
It’s been an absolute blast working on this thing! 58 years old and still working better than so many modern cars!

In Puerto Rico🇵🇷 will make that car look brand new again and with more horsepower.

[@redlineranch.]

thats so awesome

[@Ur_fav_brunette_Stacy]

I love old Toyotas. Would love to find one of these to restore.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

They had a two door coupe version that was downright choice. They were built like tanks but ran like sports cars.

[@redlineranch.]

They seem to be fairly rare cars

Toyotas are like will never die, will still work forever.

[@redlineranch.]

So true!

[@artistnyc123]

I had a 72 Corolla, put in new points plug and condenser and it would run like new. Amazing cars. These are the cars that built Toyota.

[@gerardocruz8946]

That's my dream, seriously. Hard to fine. We had many of those in Puerto Rico. Enjoy it!!

[@redlineranch.]

they are definitely rare!

[@yazky69]

My father bought 1967 corona brand new in red color. We still have the car all original and has 90,000 miles on it. Still it starts and purrs like a new car and drives very smoothly. Love the Toyota's. Thanks for sharing the video... ❤🇵🇰 Pakistan

Toyota Corona 1965 its golden price today ❤👍.

[@redlineranch.]

agreed

[@Afriqueleblanq]

I had one of these, a 67 model 1500. Those were made when Toyota was reliable and could be trusted, not the parts bin lucky packets of today. Toyota made Toyota then, and didn't get engines from Joe and bodies from Jay. I drove the Corona until 1985. It was fairy green and had no rust, although it slept outside not far from the ocean. I really loved❤ that car.

[@redlineranch.]

Toyotas always made sure they have top notch quality even if it’s not 100% in house design. It’s what’s practical!

[@davidg4097]

I thought I heard when these and the first Hondas and Datsuns made it to the states the salt from the ocean started corroding the cars before they we've ever unloaded. Amazing find certainly never seen one of them 👍

[@redlineranch.]

Interesting, I hadn't heard that before, this ones rust seems to be from the window seals going bad and the doors filling with water. and the trunk seal going bad leading to it filling with water too.

[@frankcoffey]

My brother had a ‘69 Carona, with the 3RC motor. Good car. Had an issue with the distributor wire getting abraded and shorting out in the tube. Easy fix but can be hard to diagnose.

[@redlineranch.]

Definitely lots of little quirks on the older cars!

[@MuhammadNadeem-gn4in]

Its so simple n Very reliable car my uncle drove last 50 year but now scrap.

[@redlineranch.]

thats too bad

[@daviddavis4444]

I drove a red 68 4 speed just like that one ran great was perfect for a 16 year old.

[@redlineranch.]

Definitely a good first car!

[@michaelmacleod]

Its surprisingly clean under the hood.

[@redlineranch.]

I was honestly shocked! It had a hard life, got forgotten about for 21 years, rusting away, till a tree fell on it, then I got it for free. I’m glad I could get it on the road again!

[@TheREALOC1972]

These 60's to early 80's JDM's are becoming a popular build, I've trying to get the kids (20 somethings) that I work with to buy an older car and get it running into daily driver condition so they can save money, so far i've gotten 2 do so, one of the guys bought a 73 Malibu but the girl bought a 78 Corona Wagon, it's a cool little car and I was surprised how easy some of the parts were to find. she going to do the paint job a light blue and have a woodgrain wrap on the sides to build it into a "surf wagon". it's an absolutely cool little car.

[@69Dartman]

Little sisters first car was a 68 with Toyoglide two speed auto. The car ran great, the transmission after a while not so much. That thing looks just like the 68, I didn't think they added the fender marker lights till like 68. She ended up with a Pinto wagon that wasn't much better than the Toyota that the shop who sold it to her fixed back up in trade and sold for a profit. They probably just changed the fluid and filter in the transmission and added some friction modifyer to get it to shift again. It was a cool litter car but she didn't want to pay to rebuild the transmission.

[@redlineranch.]

The old automatics were always a bit finicky

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I remember my older brother buying one new. It was a two speed automatic and it said toyoglide on the consol.

[@redlineranch.]

Yeah, they definitely had some Inspiration for their transmission name from American car manufacturers for sure!

I'm also doing a total rebuild of a 65' Corona, original 2R motor and not been on the road since 1980. Super fun to see others get these going aswell. If you need help finding parts I know a guy in California where if he cant get it then good luck.

[@redlineranch.]

thanks man! do you plan on documenting your build?

[@trygvealexandersolum6661]

@@redlineranch. Been doing a blog now and then on the RetroRides forum, just found out it was a museum piece from 1980 to 2002 aswell so that's pretty good motivation to do a good job with it. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff since it's more like i originaly planned with mine

Ours was a 69 Corona, 3rc, same color, different grill - brings back memories. And what year is that Chinook, lurking in the background at about 13 minutes in? Mine is a 77 with 78 engine. And the film shows why we love our historic toyotas.

[@redlineranch.]

It’s a 77 chinook! If you check out my channel, there is a video on getting it running!

[@donaldscott3921]

@@redlineranch. Small world. Just finished explaining to a friend why I keep mine, and don't buy something newer - what a car, especially since the God of RV restoration, Tuffy, brought in back to shining life. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll send a picture of Tuffy and the Chinook the day he brought it home. It's been without a garage for several years and now needs some body work. But still runs well, and gets lots of good comments. By the way - I'm looking for a driver's side window regulator. No luck on eBay. Any suggestions?

Took your advice and went to the Chinook video. GREAT! Those old 20rs will be running for centuries. Many thanks.
