I Want It: 1971 Corolla 2-Door Wagon



It's no secret that I'm a big fan of wagons. I'm also a big fan of pre-boring Toyotas. Additionally, compact RWD cars are a staple for gearheads the world over. More so when they're cheap.

So here we have the Quadruple Threat: a 1971 (Pre Smog!) Toyota Corolla wagon.



With a manual transmission, mildly hopped-up engine (probably making 85ish HP) and the beloved 2-door wagon body style, it'd be the perfect mix of economy sporty feel and character that I've been looking for in a commuter mule. At $2500 (asking price), it's a killer bargain.



Not sure about those SAAB wheels, though. Yeah...that's the excuse I'll use for not picking it up.
