About 30 years ago I worked at a Toyota dealership where a formula Vee racer worked as a mechanic. He was the man who gave me the heads-up on the 72/6 I have today. About 25 years ago I went to his house where he had a 70 1.7 in absolutely gorgeous condition sitting with only 14,000 miles on it.
Today, I was out in his area and decided to stop by. He's sitting in his garage, now 83 years old and there it was. The same 70 in exactly the same spot in the same condition with the 14,000 still on the clock. This is a car that looks like it has never been dirty, ever. He helped order the car and has some very interesting characteristics. I plan on going back out to get a series of pics in a couple of weeks. Here's a bit about it. vin: 4702910016 door # 2529567 production date: 6/70 color: adriatic blue interior: beige cordouroy All books, tool kit and maintenance records are in perfect condition The car fired right up and ran like a top. Hope to have the shots up in a bit. |

Might be, but the speedster(from pics he showed me) was guards red. It is now in Greece, as a driver. He showed me a letter that stated new owner turned down $360,000 recently. I'll ask him if it was black cherry at any time, he said it was painted after he sold it in 2002. It was out at the 50th anniversary at Pebble Beach. The man is from the Cleveland area if that's any help. |
