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.

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?

ToolGuy I don't think it is fair that the other car companies have to compete with VW.
Wjtinfwb Seemed pointless to cannibalize your own products sales by offering a clearly inferior and older product toting the same name at a lower price point. Now many "Classic" buyers would have bought a current Generation RAM had that been all that was offered? It kind of made sense when GM did it for fleet only sales of outdated models like Malibu or Impala or even Ford while new model build grew to capacity. But they've sold these two side by side for at least 3 years now, which just seems counterproductive and costly.
Tassos Remember, the safest most affordable trip is the one you do not take. Also remember, if I am driving there is a good reason for it -- I do not need you clogging up the roads out of habit lol. Learn how to drive, people. This includes knowing when to stay home. 🤡
Spamvw Nice to know I've broken into the top 10.478000 yesterday, but it's digital odo so there will no pics when it goes to it's final resting place.As I've said before, since the computer brain reads in KM's it will stop at roughly 620k.I've been told that there are VW folks who can reset it. But I'm guessing rust will take the unibody by then.Sam'02 TDI Jetta Wagon (grey) (manual)
Jkross22 Sounds like a jobs program instead of increasing safety.
