#TE72 #CorollaWagon
Love that wagon. I had the four door sedan version and this car was incredible. I converted it into a rally racer with 45mm Delorto carbs and it ran like a rocket!
I own the coupe version of this car. Your review matches my experience perfectly - not race winners, but such fun cars to drive!
My Dad owned this car, even the same colour! From about 2005 until he died in 2017. By the end it was a hunk of junk that ran on pure willpower and he still had random car collectors offering to buy it off of him! He was a mechanic and he used every trick in the book to keep it running (the starter usually needed a smack with the wrench to start, block heater in the winter, the bumper fell off at one point and he welded it back on in the driveway, it couldn’t even get up to highway speed...)
They are faithful cars yes sirrr
We use to sell those in Puerto Rico, we had a dealer Gramps and my dad RIP, they use to put a rotary engine or 8 cylinders on them
My mom had one of those back in the mid 80's! Second gear was broken so she had to rev the snot out of it in first then shift to third and feather the clutch. To this day every time she drives a manual transmission she skips second gear on instinct.
My family owned a 1980 Toyota Corolla Wagon 3S Automatic. I drove this car in high school (1984-1986). PIckup was slow, and it maxed out at 70 MPH on a flat road (74 MPH going downhill), but it was very dependable. My family sold the car to my cousin in 1988 with 220K miles on it and my cousin drove it for at least 4 more years (not sure how many miles it had on it when she sold it).
Overall lots of fond memories driving this car.
my dad had one of these, 5 speed and all in the early 90s. i think it was an 81 as well. i remember watching the rubber shifter boot jiggle when he'd shift. he'd also installed an aftermarket cassette deck and speakers mounted to the back of the rear bench seat. our piano teacher ended up just taking it
thanks for attending my tedtalk
I don't have a corolla wagon but I have a 1985 toyota cressida wagon which has the engine from the mk2 supra. But its an auto so im gonna switch it to a 5 speed from the supra.
i have a 86 Cressida wagon.and just got a 81 Corona wagon with 22r
@@nancygoldsmith2627 awesome! I remember the Cressida wagon and they were bigger than the Corrola... what made you want to get a early 80s Corolla wagon and is it stick or manual?
I own a Corolla, the 1982 1.8l manual TE72 which was purchased by my aunt with around 100 miles on it, back in 82-83 in California. It was droven all the way down to El Salvador where Im from hahahaha trying to restore it so far.
I had an '82 liftback. SR5 with a tach, and the swivel stereo pod. Such a fun car.
I recently got 2 of these for $600 one has no engine or trans but the other is the one in the vid but yellow and I’m so glad I got them
My dad had a brown 1981 Corolla wagon with a 5 speed. He put 400k miles on it. It was the car I learned to drive on.
Came across this video as I currently have been loaned a 1980 model of the Corolla wagon and was thinking of purchasing it, after thus video I'm really leaning towards keeping it!! It's it fairly good condition as far as I can tell after only really driving it for a couple of days!!!!!
After securing a city job I was looking for a simple daily to go to work. I searched online for a basic corolla, nothing fancy just a plain jane daily. I was on OfferUp and I saw a guy was selling a brown 81 Toyota Corolla Wagon 5 speed for $2,500. I showed my dad who's been a mechanic for over 26 years (now 31) and he said "you don't find those anymore, if you buy it it has to be for show". So he checked it out and offered the guy $1,800. The guy was divorcing his wife and he needed to get rid of the car asap, so he took the money and the car has been in my possession ever since. I get constant stares and plenty of thumbs up from everyone. The car has 100k original miles, same motor and tranny. He gave me two original carburetors but they couldn't take the long journeys to car meets so I had to go brand new. I get offered money all the time for the car and I turn them all down. I shall be buried in this car, I'd sell my LS430 before I sell my baby. She's the MILF, my 99 Corolla is my wife and my LS is my mistress
Toyota Classic box car. The Ke70 and DX Wagon is my favourite. even more than AE86. Great review man.
Forgot to add- he used this car as a drummer to haul his kit around. He wouldn’t get rid of it because nothing else was cheap enough that would also fit his whole setup!
I scooped up my dad a boosted 82 wagon. It was epic driving an old school rolla with turbo noises haha 😂 🙌🏼
Great review Man and that thing is fukin dope... Looks awesome and it sounds even better.
I got one here in Pakistan and its a sedan that my Dad "RIP" bought in the year 86. We still have it and it runs great. This thing is reliable and comfortable and if you don't break it, it will last you for a lifetime. These old school rear wheelers have a unique driving pleasure of their own.
Best part is the smile it brings on your face when you pump it. Thoroughly enjoyed your review...
My dad had one of these from 1981 to 1987 in Holland. It was the very basic version, with the 4K (1.3 liter 4 speed) engine. But, it had a passenger side mirror and a heated rear window. But that was about it. No clock (which was an option). Only 3 warning lights on the dash. Of course no airco (which did not exist in Europe). Eventually traded in for a 1985 Mazda 323 wagon.
I know I'm dating my self, but my very first car was the 1980 corolla 1.8 3TC engine in light blue that came with the four round lights on it. These cars were very popular amongst that Puerto Rican community on the east coast. especially in the 90's along with the 85 SR5 model. A lot of them were shipped to Puerto Rico where you can still find them till this day. Still my favorite car of all time.
SR TWIN CAMS /HATCHBACKS WERE POPULAR, SEARCHING 4 BOTH (WAGON OR SR) WILL BUY CA$H
That's right
I just found an 82 with 270 thou miles for 200 bucks running !!! I have to pick it up 2.5 hrs away from my house I already know am keeping it forever , love your video bud!!!!
I just got a 1990 toyota camry dx with 115,000 miles
I love it
Had an '82, metallic fleck paint and a "fancy" chrome luggage rack. Treated it like a covered pickup truck. The backend was so easy to drift on and since it had a predictable engine it was fun but not too much fun.
I own the 1981 corolla wagon completely built for drifting and entirely engine swapped to the old 180sx, 240sx engine, bit rust on fenders and little over the body, really wanna clean it all up.
It really is a fun car I use mine as a daily driver it's a real treat in the corners
I Looove this wagon 🙌🏼🔥❤️
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
4:40 I have a 81’ 5 speed, completely original. Stereo and all, My head liner and back seat are flawless. All the chrome is original and intact and so is all of the glass. Paid 1700 us for it in 2006, with only 104k miles. Peace
Great buy
Wish we could post pics on here cuz I have pics of the one I had when I was 15 and fixed it up myself for when u turned 16 to drive ...god I miss that car
My first car was a 81 wagon and now i have 81 wagon that one of my car club guy sell it to me, and it wasn't running and little by little i been working on it and finally i already took her to car shows and car meets, in the second car show she won best of show. but i still working on it
my neighbor owns one of these, and every day I wonder if he knows what an amazing car it is
I just want an 80s corolla with a 5 speed is that so much to ask for
I have an 80 wagon with the quad headlamp in SoCal . Let me know if you’re interested
@@littlemanny619 how much are you asking if you still have it?
@@1210pablito still have it. Asking 4K
THAT'S MY DREAM CAR!!
I love old school Corolla wagons. I’m currently searching for one. What size are the wheels and tires? And also what suspension does it have. Thanks
I have a 1981 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon- I can send photos.
I had a 1986 with the 1.6 4A-F engine in SouthAfrica. The leaf springs are terrible at higher speeds. I am hunting another one. I would love to see this with a 4A-GE twin cam motor with carbs to replace the efi system.
I had one back in 95 and it was the best car i ever owned
Love mine I have an 81. Drive it in the summer only store it for the winter. Has factory A/C.
Finally someone uploaded a proper te72 video
And not this crappy videos on UA-cam
If you search "3tc engine" all they have are Mexican 3tc turbo
Thank you mehn😩😩😩
I had one of these, and I loved it
In latin america this kind of corolla are seen everywhere. I got the same year sedan version KE70 with 4K motor really nice to drive but still making a swap for a 4AGE
Dawg... This car got mad drip
The gargle from the carb is intoxicating. My ae82 has the same fuel gauge issue, luckily it works again when it gets to 1/4 tank
It will run even when the needle is under E
Now that is a beautiful car.
I had one of those for like 5 years and i had to sell it on the end to make ends meet. Funny thing is i bought it from a puerto rican and sold it to puerto ricans. I myself am not puerto rican i just like well made cars.
They still live! They are popular in Asia especially in the Philippines!
LOVE THIS!
Had a few of different ones of these and the 1985 gts twin cam love them all but now they want big money for them, maybe some day I’ll get another one lol 💯👍👍👍
Correction stock had bumpers in the front and back, your “ stock” pic was lacking bumpers
