It's Disgusting! I Love this 1975 Toyota Mark II LG - MX10

- Another visit to the auto auctions here in Japan, and I've come across a true gem of a car. Forget how it's looking now, one look at the admittedly fungal infested interior and it's clear to see that this Corona/Mark II was truly appreciated by its owner. The array of interior aftermarket and factory accessories is incredible. Multiple sound-system head units straight out of the 1970's, so of course there's an 8 track deck. Need to know the status of the various components of the braking system? Next to the analogue clock in the centre console is a freaking "Brake OK Monitor" which has warning lights for: Low brake fluid, the vacuum booster, brake lamp and brake lining wear!
Engine is the 6 cylinder, 1988cc M engine and features that troublesome early electronic fuel injection... which could explain the low kms. Hehehehe
Disregard the grunge, people. This mid 1970's Corona Mark II sedan is a likely contender for restoration and many more years on Japan's streets.

Was away from the internetz for the past 3 months or so, came back, many videos to catch up on, the very first video to watch turns out to be this as the tail light cluster just draws me in, man I love 70's Japanese cars! Just imagine that all built back with a screaming twin barrel carb down the road, oh my!. Thank you for bringing these to us. 👍
Thank you, again. Sorry it’s taken so long to get to your comment. I’m a busy boy. Thank you so much for getting back into the wasabicar vids 😊
@@wasabicars It's you who deserves the thanks for going out for the trouble to shoot all these. I know you want some monetary gains from this which is more than normal but the least we can do is say thank you, so yeah thank you.
Btw Dan, you are a wise man, life is short, go see your parents in the soonest time, I hope things go good for you in the shortest time.Take care.
I dare say that old girl could be, and deserves to be, saved!
Hey, Dan. (I realise you may have commented before the end of the video, so no big deal.) Someone did bid on it and it sold. Fingers crossed it went to the right owner.
Hey Dan! Thanks for the video. First time ever seeing the Mark 2 at least this version. Thanks for showing cars that for the most part would fall through the cracks of being unappreciated. Keep on showing bud
Thx, Anthony. You mean first of this generation you've seen? Ah, it's my pleasure to show these old cars. I want to remind the world that they existed.
@@wasabicars that's right Dan. This is the first time I've seen this generation of Crown.
Great video Daniel thank you ! 8 track 💪
really like that brake monitoring accessory on the dash , I have always thought I would not want my mirrors out there too hard to adjust , But now you have shown me the light with the adjustment tool on the dash , Take care
Mr. Sanford, sir! Thanks for watching and supporting my... rusty, old car videos :)
I would come in one day and secretly spray the rear seat covers with some sort of disinfectant. 🤔
Hahaha! This made me chuckle :D
@@wasabicars your soundtrack 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Or just throw em away when nobody's lookin
LG = Life is Good
Thank you very much, Daniel, for sharing your great video with us.
Thanks Frederick. Don't feel don't about Facebook. Facebook doesn't tell everyone your greetings, so not everyone knows to respond. Because we connect with so many people, Facebook with limit (sometimes strongly) the number of people who see out posts. People aren't ignoring you. They just aren't seeing you. Or, it could be that they use social media in a way that differs from the way you do it. Either way, there's nothing malicious about it.
Wowwww. Beautiful car. So rare. Thank you for so much indep video and pictures on the engine and interior. Absolutely amazing car. So much features.
Hey, thank you for watching. And, wow. It says here that you subscribed about 8 years ago. That's incredible. Thank you again
@@wasabicars love the channel and all the hard work you put in to find these rare beauties of cars that touch of heart from we were children to now as adults. I had great memories of them seeing them and it kinda sad to see them in those conditions but hopefully they get saved. I’m the guy from Trinidad 🇹🇹 that lives in orlando florida 🇺🇸 with the 86 laurel, 76 mark2, 78Celica and 73 rx3. Thanks again mate.
Greeting Dan. Thanks for the video. Those came to Trinidad. All the models I saw were column shift and automatic. My uncle still has one in working condition. Real nice car. Drove it as a youngster. Not many around. Cheers!
Thanks Clifford. Nice to hear your uncle still has one. Incredible.
What a find! You couldn't of said better mate, dont be sad to see a rusty car. Get excited!
I'm excited! :)
Love these cars! I was 3 when we had one, brake OK monitor!! What!
Nice. Thanks, Miamimo :)
My dad had a 2-door coupe and my grandfather had a 4-door sedan. Both are dark green. The interior reminded me of those days. Nostalgic!
Nice! Both 4 and 2 door versions looks damn cool
Wow. Great condition... Ripe for restoration.
Definitely. Heck, I'd even consider deactivating the rust and keeping the patina. Interior, besides the mouldy stuff, is near mint
What a cool car. Never seen this model before
Do you mean this generation of Mark II? Or a Mark II of this grade? Sorry, I'm curious :)
Another great car! What a fantastic car! This one looks like it wouldn't take a lot to get it going.
Thanks, Josh. I was so surprised to see this one. A rare, high-spec, and solid car. Someone did snap it up, so fingers crossed it went to the right home.
Toyopet sold for $1055.54!!!
LG - Luxury Grade 🚗
A bargain!
I'd say someone got a really special car! I think, but that's what to my knowledge, the L series of the Mark II means it's has the 6 cylinder engine. Then G is probably the grade, which then stands for grande. So it's pretty special indeed!
Ah, of course. Grande! Confusing me was the fact that this is such an early one. Thanks, Art
Jesus Christ, that car is an ecosystem now. Anyways, cool video again friend.
Lol. Gross
Nice find Dan! Looks like the original owner ticked every option box on this one, definitely the export tail lights on it.
Definitely! Options up the wazoo, as they say. Lol
“Oh..What a Feeling…TOYOTA!!”.
Hey, Dave. Oh, how I've been in need of a beer and a meat pie! Was there an Aussie Day thing this year? So damn busy... which is a good thing, eh
OMG Daniel! That's freekin' awesome (except it's not a Datsun ofcourse). I was having a cuppa and nearly threw up in my mug when you showed the maggots!
Hahahaha! Oops. Sorry. They were some mouldy, fugus-type... thing. So disgusting.
I believe the successor has more boxy design and this is the most elegant Mark 2, even rusty as heck.
Yes, the Toyota Mark II was boxy from 1980. There was another generation between the feature car and the boxy one though.
Boy, that looks like it only really needed a paint job and it would be a stunner!
I think I like it as is. Well, I'd de-fungus that interior of course ;-)
The front interior looked okay.. that back seat gave me the wiggles... yuck. lol. Thanks for another great video.
Lol! Yuck is right
Cool ~ Good for cars ♪
コメントありがとう。ところで、あのパリダカカリーナはレストアをされましたか?
My grandad had a white one with a dark red interior
It was very nice to drive
I fixed so much rust in it
5 speed manual 👍👍👍
Nice. It rusted? Sounds like my kinda car :)
Love this Toyota man that's amazing i should live there to see all these jewels and it's not that bad i believe someone with a good pocket could bring it to life
Yes, I'm sure someone will restore (or customize) this one. It's a straight and solid car.
Not bad for a couple of grand. That audio thing looked like a tweeter. Power everything 😲 even brake wear monitors. Damn.
High-spec as, hey. I wish I had the money (know-how, storage space, etc...) I caught feelings a bit with this one. Could have been that gunk on the back seat :/
Superb 💘 i saw this same model in karachi Pakistan 1978...
Nice. Thanks, Muhammad :)
Wow, it's sold for about 950€ or 1101$, that's unbelievable. I would buy this right away 🥰. And for the rear, I would just mount my two Sparco seat's for the start 👍
Definitely a good price. I wish I had the money! (And space to park it, and parts & know-how to restore it...) What? You wouldn't keep the rear seat cover? Hahaha!
@@wasabicars The rear seats cover are only good instead of an car alarm 😂. Who would see the seat covers would run away as heck. Do you remember the small car sticker's car alarm? In this case you would only need a big sticker or sign biohazard ☣️. Nobody would touch the car.
Toyota Mark II Of this ERA my god such a good looking car. Who said Toyota makes bland cars
Agreed! 1970's Toyotas were fantastically styled
cool :). but jeez, that rear seat cover is wild lol, rest of the car doesnt even look that terrible for the mushrooms or whatever the hell it even is growing on it, hahaha
Lol! That backseat is so gross. Cars should not come with their own ecosystems.
Nice 😍😍
For sure. She's a winner
How sad it is to see those cars like this! Know tha they are incredible from costa rica 🇨🇷💪🏻
Pedro, it's not sad. Cars in Japan usually get scrapped after 10-15 years. That's why I LOVE seeing rusty old cars. Listen again here: ua-cam.com/video/iCnvkAeQXYw/v-deo.html
@@wasabicars if l’m very nostalgic, thank you for taking the time and answering, i have a cherry 120a, i thank you for taking the video of a white one, it is incredible from 🇨🇷 Costa rica
Mr D sounds like the crocodile hunter😂😂😂 look at this beaut we have got here ppl..Let left the bonnet look at the engine mate😂
Hahahaha! I'm more than happy with that comparison :)
Looks like some The Last of Us action in the back seat. I heard that fender mirrors = must be seen thru wiper sweep of windshield?
I'm not familiar with The Last Of Us. But, given the funkiness, no context needed. Lol. Ahh! Interesting about the mirrors. I'll ask about. Thanks for the info
Hi have you come across any colt galant? Like 75 to 78 models? Coupe 1600 Gs 1600 twincarb
Hi, Ash. It's best you just have a look through the Galant videos: ua-cam.com/users/wasabicarssearch?query=galant
Mean Mk2 broer....we had a different rear light in RSA nevertheless a ckassic Corona.
I found a Corona Mk5 2 dr hardtop (RT114) after decades of searching...it was my Dad's favourite car for 15 years....I use to always ask him why he had to own such a rare Toyota....he passed a month ago...tis heartbreaking being helpless on the other side of the world when you're needed the most...at least I have his
Iconic car to get
me through😔
Ahh, Vinesh. Those 2 door hardtop Coronas are beautiful. Sorry to hear of your father's passing.
What a survivor! In Europe Japanese cars were seen has copycats for a moment. They unique style, even with the obvious inspiration, was underated. What a mistake. Their build quality forced respect the years after. Honour restored.
Thanks for the insight, Phil
いや、残っていたんですねぇ、すごいです✨🎶👍😊フル装備の車でマニアル車、希少車ですねぇ、出来る事ならまた、元気に、復活して、走って、ほしいですねぇ✨🎶😊👍、もったいないし、文化遺産として、残ってほしいと思う、車ですねぇ🎶✨👍😊今、見ても、カッコいいですねぇ👍✨😊🎶
First time seeing what appears to be mushrooms growing inside a car like "how? 🤢". Haha something unexpected on wasabicars.
Lol! I'd have been happier with mushrooms! It was mushroom-shaped mould. Yuk
Hey Dan, whats the best way to learn to speak Japanese? Classes or online? Some apps teach as well I see
G'day. Weird answer perhaps. All ways you mention work, but the vital ingredient is USING the language you learn. So, you need to put yourself in position to use it. That's key
I miss my Corona MkII. :(
Oh. Sad news :(
@@wasabicars Actually, I had TWO! One was a runner & the other was supposed to be a 'project' car.
But having a family & all that, once the head went (for the third time), we moved them on. I really wanted to hang onto it long enough to fit an 7A-GTE into it. Instead, the Mrs got an XD S-Pack. (yawn!)
That interior looks beautiful except the maggots 😅
Lol. Kinda gross, hey? Trust me. Seeing them for real was pretty confronting
👍👍👍
Спасибо
20マーク2 LGセダンでパワーウィンドウ装着初めて観た セダンパワーウィンドウオプションだがハードトップは標準
I had a 72 with the flush taillights and then got a 73 which had the protruding ones, should have kept them both……..never mind 😢
Ahh. Always rough to hear the sold-car regrets. Thanks for the info though
Love everything except the mushrooms 😅
Lol! Effing gross! Omg.
It is best
Thank you :)
THAT NEEDS A 2JZ SWAP
Nice! A buddy's doing a 1JZ swap in his (but the 2 door variant) instagram.com/callumthomson92/
Ah yes a classic USS 4B.
Hahahaha! There's hope. This was in the crashes/as-is section ;-)
Can you buy it?
I cannot. At the end of the video I showed that it sold at auction. I didn’t have enough money anyway
LG luxury gear
That is what it stands for? A stab in the dark? Sounds fair though
like as much as a Crown.
Hey, Tony! Yeah, Crown engine I'm guessing. Plus, all those options.
It's my homie mr d'oo'g sir Watabi and yes i know it's wasabi..
What up, dawg? I'm og for sure. Daniel >> O'Grady
I wish if i could import it to Pakistan for restoration :(
I hope you can. I don't know about the shipping situation between the two countries
So it sold for under €1000!
It did? I mentioned it in the video, or you have access to the info elsewhere? Lol. I made this video so long ago that I forget whether I even knew ;-)
@@wasabicars It mentions the value in Yen, and unless I made a mistake it was under €1000. Which seems a real bargain, especially by todays standards.. Mind you, restoring a car isn't cheap!
hello toyota crown can you find?)
3 in NZ broer...
2 more on the same website
Hello Evgeny, I have done many videos on classic Crowns. Check this out: ua-cam.com/users/wasabicarssearch?query=Crown
@@wasabicars Спасибо!
It looks like it was chewed on by Godzilla?
Chewed on, but thankfully spat out as well :)
I would buy it still with rust
For sure. It's still a solid car
That's mx13 mate
No it ain't. MX10 is stamped into the firewall (bulkhead, whatever...) Stamped on the plate too. MX10 without a doubt. MX13 Could have been export, or US...
It sold for $1475 aus
There you go. Cheap, I reckon.
@@wasabicars I know it would be an easy resto and at the moment that is about the cost as a rough 90s Camry
Bargain! I wish I got it... Now I'm sad
@@wasabicars can you access carsales from Japan? There's a Capella imported from Africa for sale with a 13B PP for $50k. It's not a genuine RX-2 but damn.....
