F/S 73 Corolla. PIMP

My friend is selling the car that he picked up as a track car. But he kinda lost some $$ so he needs to sell this thing. Heres his post from another forum. The car is clean someone buy this car and give it a good home!

$3500 OBO. SO MAKE AN OFFER!
I hate to do this after so much excitement surrounding this car but I have to do what is best for me both professionally and financialy. Ive decided to sell the car that I purchased about a month ago. Its a 1973 Toyota Corolla SR5. The car is lowered about 3.5 - 4 inches. It sits on white powdercoated 13x7 wheels with unknown offset. Tires 175/50-13. I bought the car off a shop owner who had started to build the car as a show car. As such the car was recently painted a bright while color inside and out. This includes the engine bay. The car is simply amazing to look at. The stock engine was reomoved and replaced with a rebuilt 13B rotary engine out of a 2nd generation RX7. The Fuel injection intake manifold was removed and replaced with a Racing Beat upper intake maifold and a Webber 2 barrel side draft carb. A custom driveshaft was made to connect the RX7 transmission to the stock Toyota rear end. A painless wiring box with 4 switches and a start button was installed to control the new engine. All of this was done before I came into posession of the car.

Since then I have noticed that the engines ignition system was wired up incorrectly and was not delivering spark. I have bought the correct coils and distributor so correct this however I have since noticed that the carb leaks. I have regestered the car through Feb of 07. This car needs only a little bit more TLC and a bit of $ to bring it to life. I would love to be the one to do so however with 7 cars in the household and an upcomming move I cannot take all of them with me. So I must let this one go. Its sure to bring its new owner a lot of joy and attention. Pictures can be found. here.

Im only looking to get what I have spent on the car. $3500 however since I am moving the price is negotable. The car is located in Long Beach, CA 90815 and will need to be towed. I can be contacted at 408.813.3528. Ask for Martin
