Right place and at the Right time! I found a 1973 Toyota Corona RT85 Deluxe! #toyota #rt85

A few weeks ago, I went to visit my friend Nikon at his body shop (Japanese Steel). As I was walking around his yard, I saw this car just sitting there. I walked up to it and it was a Toyota Corona! I been looking for this car to add to my collection for a very long time and here it is! So I asked Nikon if I could buy it. We made a deal and it was mine! Finally today (Nov. 18, 2021) the concrete in my backyard was done and so now I could fit up to 9 cars in the RV driveway. Time to pick up the Corona and take it home to start working on it. My plans are to add coilovers to lower it 2 inches and some 13 JDM old school rims. As for the paint, I will probably keep it pantina and just clear coat it. For the interior, it will be redone. Seats, headliner and dashboard. The whole goal of this car is to keep it stock as possible, drive it to local meets and just totally enjoy this car. Maybe a motor swap in the future when I retire this original motor. Very excited for this opportunity and stay tune for more videos!
