The 1974 Toyota Corolla 1600 Deluxe aka peanut

I found a 1974 USDM Toyota Corolla 1600deluxe with a toyoglide automatic transmission at the OC Yota nights .. unrestored but this still runs perfect .

I had one when I was 17 in Puerto Rico. Automatic transmission sucked, only 2 speeds and at 60mph engine revs were high. Engine was a BEAST. Changed oil maybe twice a year. Turn him up everyday revving the engine up to 6k rpm + and it never broke down. Engine was really abused and never had a hint of smoke.

Those were the days of the great era of Toyota’s reliability

I have one in Puerto Rico identically as yours, in the same color. It's a 1974 TE Corolla that is in the final stages of a full restoration i'm trying to leave the car as original as possible. The car is owned in my family since new. It was my parents car. Yours is a very complete and original car. In my opinion your car is the perfect candidate for a full resto to leave the car in the original shape. Let me tell you that at some point, i was considering to do a rotary engine swap in my car, but i later quit from the idea.

I almost bought a 4 door , 4speed manual but the seller couldn't provide a title

[@deliciouslifetv7362]

That could’ve been awesome to see a 4dr variant of the corolla since I haven’t seen one on the Japanese classic car show

I like this style better but to get them lowered its just a pain

[@deliciouslifetv7362]

It’s lowered it’s just have small 13inch wheels with 50 series low profile tires

@@deliciouslifetv7362 Oh I see!! sometimes they use technotoytuning suspension conversion with adjustable coilers.

You did not show the best part, the gas cap is hidden behind the c pillar louver on the drivers side. I had the exact same car that I bought off my aunt in 78 (red one). I really wished for a manual but got such a good price I could not complain ($400.00).
