Nothing has really gone wrong with the car in the 30 years I owned it, I always was on top of maintenance and if a problem started, it was fixed before it got terminal.
Could of used some more power in the motor.
The car went through whatever I put it through, from age 17 to 47. It also was wrecked a few times, but like Frankenstein it was recreated and alive and well.
It was an incredible 1st car and I am going to keep it until I croak.
This was my first Toyota. Mine was a 76 Yellow with black pinstripping though with a 20R engine. Lasted till I was broadsided by an red light runner. I was lucky I was alive, but I missed that car. She was beautiful and reliable. I overheated her on the freeway too young at the time to know anything about car, but she ran and ran...till I was able to change the waterpump due to shotted bearings and thermostat after the overheating event. That was about it.
This was the car that started me into Toyota till I bought a poorly designed 86.5 Supra later. The Supra taught me the fallibility of Toyota thru a ill conceived head gasket.
