1974 Toyota Corolla SR5TE27. 2-Door Coupe (also known as a "Mango")Runs and drives!
The car has a period-correct Japanese 2TG swapped in with a newer style T-50 5-Speed manual transmission. Being a genuine SR5. the car has factory metal flares. 10-Bolt rear end. and long interior center console. Extremely rare vehicle. Heater. A/C. and radio have been deleted. Has a very clean and simple mechanical theme to it. You simply cannot beat the sound of a carbed 2TG.

I simply do not have the time to enjoy this vehicle anymore. and would like to see it go to someone who will get good use out of it. This will make a great daily driver with just a little bit of effort. I would recommend replacing the tires and tie rod ends. as the vehicle has not been used regularly for quite some time. There is no rust other than the light surface rust that can be seen in the photos. The exterior trim pieces have recently been soda blasted (as seen in the photos). and are ready to be painted. The exterior paint is about 10 years old. and is in great shape for its age. As to be expected. there are a few chips. but nothing excessive. The paint on the rear two flares is starting to peel where they are bolted to the body. Two corners at the back bottom of the car about exhaust level are bent up slightly. but can be easily straightened. I do not have the emblems. original dash. or driver's side sun visor. Please note that the speedometer and tachometer are not hooked up currently. I've poured tons of cash into this car. and have put a lot of effort into sourcing rare parts. I've tried to showcase the car in it's entirety within these photos. This vehicle has attended TORC (ToyotaFest) a few years back. and has been taken care of very well. I have never seen another TE27 SR5 before. and probably never will. This is one of the straightest and most rust-free examples of a second gen Corolla around. not to mention one of the rarest. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have!
