This is a rare 1980 Sunchaser and everything works. This is a 33 year old car that is by no means perfect. Please dont email asking if it has dings and scratches, yes it does, the paint is original and is weak. This is a fun car to drive and be different it is not a show car. That being said here is a list of everything that has been replaced on the car: New -vinyl on targa, convertible and convertible boot, tires, front rotors and pads, rear shoes, clutch master cylinder, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, spark plugs and wires, many new hoses, gaskets and vacuum lines, all new fluids and a rebuilt carburetor, A/C has been converted to R134a and is cold. Now for the bad: The power steering motor leaks a little and I have a new one but probably will not install it before selling. The paint is weak and has one small spot of surface rust that has been covered with primer(I tried to show in the picture). It has not rusted through! ( There is no rust damage anywhere on the car) Chrome trim pieces should be replaced along with some weatherstripping. The car is not completely waterproof and Im sure most never were but has no major leaks. I keep it under a cover just to be safe. Upholstery has some tears or holes, its original (tried to show the largest one in picture) and carpet is ok but not great. One speed on A/C heater fan does not work, 2 other speeds are fine. I also have a front end rebuild kit with new bushings, springs and struts that I will sell with the car. The car drives and tracks straight but I bought them on a closeout and felt it would be good to replace after 33 years. Just like most people I never found the time to do it. I bought the car to drive on weekends but new baby means no time for toys. Again the car runs and drives fine for such an old car and I drove it home 200 miles when I bought it before everything was replaced. I have the original owners manuel and 2 service manuels along with a Motor Trend magazine featuring the 1980 Sunchaser as well. The car is supposed to be original miles and was in storage for many years. My local mechanic had no reason to doubt the miles but these are only 5 digit odometers so there is no way to be sure. I have covered everything I can think of but feel free to ask a question before bidding. Winner must make arrangements to pick up vehicle within 2 weeks of end of auction. Purchase must be made in person with cash or at your bank in the Birmingham/Hoover AL area.

2014 Toyota Corolla details leaked
Thu, 09 May 2013Toyota will launch the 2014 Corolla later this year, and thanks to the ever-leaky internet, a couple of key details about the new sedan have been revealed. Car and Driver was able to uncover these bits of information thanks to someone at a Toyota dealer in Kansas who has seen the car, as well as its order guide, though the dealer's site has since removed its original posting.
We got our first glimpse at the next-generation Corolla's design at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, where Toyota unveiled the Furia concept, pictured above. Yes, it looks all sporty and aggressive, but fear not, appliance shoppers, C/D says that the production car should have a couple of Furia bits mixed in with a huge helping of Camry-inspired styling.
The 2014 Corolla will reportedly continue to use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, though the mill has been massaged a bit, adding Toyota's Valvematic continuously variable valve timing. A four-speed automatic (yep!) will be offered in the base model, though the manual transmission now has six gears, and higher trim levels can be had with a CVT. Both engine output and fuel economy numbers should improve slightly over the 2013 model. Currently, the Corolla produces 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and achieves 27/34 miles per gallon (city/highway) with the five-speed manual 'box.
New version of Toyota FT-1 Concept gets racy for Gran Turismo 6
Thu, 07 Aug 2014Gran Turismo 6 has been the preferred marketing springboard for quite a few brands and concept cars since its debut last winter. Specifically the GT Vision concept idea - allowing manufacturers a built-in place to offer up new, original, drivable content - has enticed the likes of Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota and more to dream big on the digital stage before pulling the sheets back on real concept cars.
In fact, Toyota teamed its live reveal of the FT-1 Concept at the Detroit Auto Show with an in-game launch of the car, just this past January. Looking for a second bite at the GT6 apple, Toyota has just released a teaser video for a new, FT-1 Vision GT version of the same concept.
The company isn't giving us much to go on save for the 30-second video, saying only that the concept was penned by Toyota's Calty Design Research team in California, and that it will "soon be available for download." By the looks of it, the new FT-1 seems to be more of a racecar than the original, without obvious changes to the basic form. No word on whether or not there's a physical concept car in the offing at a yet-to-be-named auto show. Stay tuned.
2014 Toyota Corolla and Tundra production underway
Fri, 02 Aug 2013After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.
