I've never seen one in my life and I have the opportunity to own one for a VERY reasonable price. It's got rotted rocker's, but other than that, it's solid. It is the 18R-C engine, Chassis RT95. It's a coupe, it's SOLID other than the rockers. It's an auto, unfortunately.... and reads 60k on the odometer.
It definitely needs some work, and would be a project car. BUT, this is the first time I've EVER seen one in upstate NY and I have fallen in love. My question is, how rare are these and is it worth missing a months rent to get it? I have pics, but I don't want to show much until I actually get it lol. This is exactly what it looks like, only a resprayed blue:

Son of a bitch. So the guy who was going to set me up with his sisters Corona came into my work today and told me that she sold it to his cousin for $400. I had $450 in my hand today to give to her for it... (yeah, that's how little I was going to pay for this car.) and she couldn't wait. I offered $600 for it to the cousin, but idk how that will result. SO pissed off right now.
But if all falls through, I have $450 to spend on the Celica for some much needed TLC. :\ I will also be going down the "frame bang gang" route with the Celica if I can't get this Corona. The Celica has no power, not going to be really racing it, so a good set of coilovers, properly fitted wheels, and moar low is in order. **** it, if I can't drive fast, I'll at least turn heads.
