A bit of trivia most people aren't aware that the 2tc engine used in this car was actually a Hemi, albeit a 98 cubic inch Hemi, but one just the same. The Japanese version made a little over 100 hp stock and was available with a 5 speed transmission, the American version arrived sporting only 70 hp and came sans 5th gear for the first few years according to a Hot Rod Magazine article of the time.

It's certainly a 3rd-gen Corolla, but the exact year could be determined via the VIN with the help of some Corolla-Dorks. ...not that it matters. I see a daily-driven 2nd gen Corolla regularly as of late-- in my climate, old Japanese cars are rarer than hens' teeth, so it's a big damn deal, and it's got a Toyoglide! What a lovely car.
