Used Car of the Day: 1975 Toyota Corolla Wagon
Today is April Fool's Day but this 1975 Toyota Corolla Wagon is no joke.
It needs some work -- it hasn't been restored -- but there has been some work done. The seller also claims to have OEM parts for what the vehicle needs.
That includes rebuilt front suspension parts and rebuilt front brake calipers. Other brake points are new, too, as is the Weber carburetor, fuel tank liner, and other parts. The heater core is rebuilt.
This Washington-based Toyota wagon is available for $7,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Does it come with the extension cord?
Seven thousand dollars?!? Definitely an April Fool's joke.
My younger brother had a '77 Corolla wagon (5-speed and a/c) as one of his first cars (bought it in 1985), and it was a decent reliable car, although he had to get the 5-speed rebuilt. This would be a good deal at $2,000, not at $7,000.
I would hope the guy has the original carb and air cleaner. The original carbs were very good, so why did he put a Weber on it? Couldn't find a rebuild kit?
