1987 Toyota Corolla GTS Coupe - One of a Kind AE86 Restomod
6 Attachment(s)
Although I never expected this day to come, I am reluctantly listing my AE86 for sale to make room in the garage for my next project. Buying this car and restoring it was a great project & we have loved owning it but it's time for someone else to enjoy it and share it with others. After deciding to embark on a Corolla project, I finally found a great family-owned, rust-free, unmodified GTS example from the Southeast as a solid foundation. Over a period of 3 years we lovingly went through the car top to bottom, with most every wear item replaced and no cost being spared. The goal was to have a great driving, tastefully modified Corolla to take to car shows & events with our 88 Supercharged MR2. The car won many trophies and even a few best in shows. There may be other nice AE86s for sale, but not many are in this condition with such comprehensive attention to detail. Simply put this car is stunning and every car show or event attended it attracted enormous attention.

Many of these parts were rare when purchased and some are no longer available new. Restoration was completed about five years ago and the car has approximately 4K miles since then. Odometer shows the original 234K miles. I have documentation from previous owner and obviously significant documentation of the restoration. History of the car is clean and Florida title is in hand and ready for sale. Car has truly been a passion for our family and has always had the utmost of care & maintenance. Always stored inside. The only item that could possibly need attention is the heater valve which sticks on occasion. Since we never use the heater in Florida I never diagnosed it - could simply be lack of use. The car runs & handles exceptionally. The pictures should speak volumes & you will not be disappointed in person. I have many more pictures and can provide upon request. I am asking $14,000 and any spares I have (there are several boxes of original parts in storage) will go with the car. Please PM any questions you might have. Thanks for looking! |
