This is a nice clean swap with a good amount time, effort and money spent on it. We drove this car all

  • Battery
  • Valve cover gasket
  • Distributer cap/rotor/coil/points/plugs/wires
  • Brake master cylinder
  • Alternator
  • Brackets
  • Belt
  • Main power on/off switch
  • Driving/road HID lights
  • Convertible top
  • Fresh oil change
  • ..and much more I'm sure I'mforgetting

Rock solid body and frame. No rust anywhere. It’s a good solid car top to bottom. Road manners are really good andit’s an absolute blast to drive. Everybody loves it when they see it! Big smiles and always a huge thumbs up from allages. Tons of fun and excitement!! It never left us stranded and has always been super dependable. Just a great littleaffordable and reliable fun car that won’t break the bank. Looks expensive and grabs attention over the real expensivecars. We’ve been to several car shows, cruise nights and cruises where this car gets more attention than the six figureexotics and muscle cars! People rush to it with big smiles and then they see the Toyota conversion and eyes bug outof their heads with more excitement. It really is a cool little car and the Toyota power plant /tranny make it over the top cool, plus obviously way more dependable.


It’s not a hot rod by any means. It’s more of a fun cruiser. Plenty of pep but no racer machine. Dependable and tons offunsums it up the best really. No leaks, no smoke and no weird noises. Runs good and strong. Clutch bites good and solid too.Brakes work good and it stops like it should.We have some extras that go with the car too. Extra new carpet kit,convertible top boot, interior cover that snaps inplace, trim, electrical, lights and more.


It’s not a perfect mint show car. It’s a fun driver that’s in good/great shape. It’s a decent older paint job, not a showstopping mirror finish, but a good/decent finish. Not faded and it still shines good. Some chips and small blemishes hereand there but really looks good still. Interior is in good shape but not perfect. Some gauges work and some gauges don’t.Radio does not work and there are some improvements that can be done. Dash pad is cracked but never bothered us.Windows work good and the top works good too. Doors, trunk and hood shut solid as they should.
