I would NOT spend $800 on it unless i checked the mechanics out thoroughly. My friend has 2 ae86 corolla's; they're ugly and slow as ---- but they have their plus's. Personally I would not buy one... ever.. in a million years.. but i hate toyota and dont like that ricer markup that most corolla pricetag's have.

for $800!!! you are nuts. It is an awsome awsome track car. the motor is worth 800 alone. it just need to be cleaned. you would look at 100X's different if it were clean and didnt have pollen and pine needles all over it. I would garantee it. also, considering the owner of th junkyard that has it is the #1 contender at the local circle track, Im sure its in awsome condition mechanical wise, and his plans were to use it on the track but he couldn't find carbs for it that were legal for the class he wanted to run in. thats my $.02
