Let us introduce you to our find of the day; a 1980 Toyota Corolla TE71 Coupe retrofitted with a big brawny classic American V8 powerplant. This wolf in sheep’s clothing was once powered by a small four-cylinder engine but now comes with a 454 cubic inch (equal to 7.4-liters) big block Chevrolet V8 powerhouse that drives the wheels through GM’s Turbo-Hydramatic 400 transmission.
According to the eBay seller, “with 13 inch tires it only goes about 65 [we’ll assume he’s talking about mph here] at 4000 rpms, but it gets there in about 4 seconds” and while driveable, the car needs some TLC to be road-worthy. The current bid on eBay is $3,251 but the reserve has not been met yet.
