Yesterday some one posted a car from Boston CL(it was OPPOsaurus ) which lead to me searching Boston Cl. and man are there plenty of cool cars. This one is actually in Rhode Island.

A 1971 Toyota Corona Mark II Wagon, with the old 20R (these had 5 different engines, none of which were a 20r, but I think this would have had a 3R) swapped out in favor of a 1990 22R, which I’m assuming came out of a pickup.

That swap means, better parts availability, about 20 more HP, and a lot more torque. Looks like the cooling has been upgraded with an electric fan as well, as I’m guessing this would have had a clutch fan originally.

It’s been lowered on 16" wheel and I think it looks the business. Speaking of business this car had a 5 speed manual trans, as it should. Altho I don’t see a third pedal so that’s ... weird.

the car is very clean. also Much glass, such window, very Can see things.

the door jams are Red so it has been repainted at some point.

They are asking 3900 for it, and if I had the cash I’d ask my Dad to go check it out for me.

It seems like it’s the gas pedal that’s hiding somehow - behind the brake/steering wheel I suppose.

Sweet ride - I would have gone for more power than a 22R, but then again, this will run until the sun is a small blob of charcoal if you can keep the rust away.

If it’s not full of bondo that’s a NP!

the temptation fro more power is real, but i think the 22r would be enough to make this car a fun, but dead reliable summer DD. Wiki says the curb-weight of the wagons is only 2200lbs. thats super light for a RWD car.

Yeah, 70's Japanese cars are just stupidly light.  Looks like that engine has either 97 or 109 HP, which would be fun, sure - but I’m daydreaming of 140-150 which would enable all kinds of shenanigans.

there’s always Turbocharging. i’d bet a DSM turbo would make it fun.there are kits out there, but at the cost, you;d be better of with a 4age swap.  https://www.lceperformance.com/Pro-Turbo-Kit-Low-Boost-22RE-Non-Turbo-Block-p/1071012.htm

I think I’d rather put something else in there, like a higher performance 4AGE, and save the 22R, to keep it NA, personally .

Regardless though, this is a pretty nice car as it sits right now. Ain’t nothing wrong with a 22R.

Damn, that’s lovely. I’ve never even seen a Corona Mark II wagon in real life...

I really hope some one does something stupid with it.
