You'll need to create an username and password to see the pics and PM the owner for email/phone number.

Classic 73 TE27 Corolla SR5 former ITC race car (no title). No motor, but has 5-spd and 6.7 inch rear end (of unknown condition). Full welded cage. I got this car as part of a package deal when I bought my current car two years ago. It hasn't been raced in quite a while and is in rough condition. But it could make a nice track/autoX/drift car with a lot of TLC. Car is located in Cincinnati area. $500 or make offer.

No title, pics look like it has been forever since on the track, but looks solid and stored inside, so better than some yard find.

I PMed the guy to see if it's still for sale. Might make a good Challenge starter, or I could work at it properly and go vintage racing.

If that had a title I would love to stuff my 13B in it. Although that issue could probably be worked out...

Those still don't show up unless you log in. They would have to be rehosted then hotlinked.

I spent the evening stripping out the interior and inspecting the rusty sills. This is really going to test my welding skills (about 3 fridges worth). how it ever passed an SCCA tech is beyond me. Seat was held in with self tapping screws and the front half of the cage is fastened to the main hoop with gusset plates. The tubes weren't fish-mouthed and butted to the hoop. Yech. Lots of work. At least the cage will hold everything together when I cut out the sills and floor.

Warren, if you need some cage-work done in the future, me and Aussie know a guy...

Thanks, Will. I'll see how the rust repairs go first before I decide on any cage work. It would make a nice little track day car with the right engine in it.

I've just recently learned about some family of engines called LS-something-or-other... May be worth looking into.
