I don't really own this car, it's at the junkyard I work for.. This car was hit on the front end and has a bad rod knock which I assume is because of it's accident. We had to crack the ignition apart to start it, which was extremely difficult (Owners of this model should feel safe regarding theft). It also has a flat tire..
This car impressed me.. We were going to sell the engine, that is why we started it. I have always had an eye on this car, liking it more ever time I saw it. This car has been sitting in the same spot in the yard for over 3 years and the dash isn't cracked, the paint is not faded, and it started on the 1st crack of the ignition. Wow.
This thing has a broken connecting rod and it still has more power than most cars with good engines I fire up at the yard. I was very impressed with the interior, how advanced it is (especially for the period it was built in) it compares to new Cadillacs.
It also is apparently very tough.. It was hit hard in the front end and nothing else is damaged other than the bumper, it took the blow perfectly.. I hope I should be a proud owner of one of these cars in the future. Way to go, Toyota.
Just goes to show how eye-catching a vintage Cressida can be!!!
