The body was really nice-totally rust free and from northern Kentucky. It had a crappy repaint that was faded and both quarters had some dents and bondo in both but other than that the shell was terrific. The rear axle was the biggest problem. The car had been drifted into a curb and the panhard rod was bent so the car tracked funny and the left rear rotor was destroyed so it only had three working brakes. Also, the head gasket was leaking a bit so the oil/coolant were mixing. There were a LOT of little things wrong with it like the heater and defroster not working, the interior being pretty beat and there were oil leaks all over under the hood. I did drive the car home from Kentucky with no problems so I can say that it ran and drove pretty crappy but it was nothing that couldn’t have been fixed up.
My Starlet had a 1.3 liter non turbo engine. The 1.5 liter turbo ones were FWD and mine was RWD. It was a beautiful car from Atlanta and totally rust free. I sold it to a guy who drove it back to Canada.
