1983 Toyota Tercel STD Hatchback 5-Door 1.5L

Description for Toyota Tercel 1983

I am the 4th owner of this rust free california survivor. The car was purchased new in 1983 then sold in 1995 and remained in the San Diego / Escondido area until 2004 where it changed ownership but still resided in the same area.I purchased it from Temecula Valley Toyota where alledgedly they used it in their showroom as a "survivor".The timing chain was replaced at 141750 miles by the previous owner. I overhauled the air conditioning system and coverted it to R134. It is now working great and diffusing freezing cold air. I also replaced the resistor and climate control switch with OEM replacement parts. I had to replace the catalytic converter, iring cables and overhaul the carburettor to pass the California Smog test. It is now registered in my name with a clean title and current tags. Compression was checked and found to be good, ylinder #1 at 160psi, 2 at 155psi, 3 at 160psi and #4 at 160psi.The car drives like new with eveything is working even the period radio cassete player.The interior is immaculate with no cracks in the dashboard.However there is a small tear in the driver seat and the headliner needs to be addressed at some point. The front windshiels has a 1/8 wide crack which is barely visible. Also small dents and scatches are shown in the pictures.Truly original car with original paint and original double coach line, he tires are in good condition. A complete tune up with oil change and filter has been performed last month. Great on gas and could haul a whole lot from your neighborhood home improvement store. A great car that has been loved and cherished throughout its life. Car comes with all service receipts and recent smog check.Good Luck!
