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. |

AB had to move 3 cars out of the way to take it outside, a real class guy.

AB had to move 3 cars out of the way to take it outside, a real class guy. Page 1: Is that a short rear valance? Maybe the original deep one got pulled off while driving on a snowy Ohio road in the early '70s. edit: Obviously, the car doesn't look like it was ever driven on a salty road in the snow. It is a remarkable surviving example of the type. Thanks, |

Maybe the original deep one got pulled off while driving on a snowy Ohio road in the early '70s. Thanks, I've added that to the list of things to ask next time I talk to him. I seriously doubt if it was driven around in the snow. Our road salt usually leaves white dust everywhere and pits the hell out of steel wheels. |
