Hello from California!!

[justchilin]

Hey everyone,

New to the Forum and just wanted to introduce my new 'Rona and myself. My name is Nelson, Im 31 and an ICU Registered Nurse. I like collecting old stuff, mechanical clocks, watches and now a vintage Toyota :-). I live in Simi Valley in sunny California. Id like to introduce my car also. She is a White 1972 Toyota Corona Deluxe, 4 door. I got her from a local older man, I think he was the second owner, was his daily driver to work, kept it relatively clean but decided to sell because the carport where he kept it was demolished by the city, sooo, I stepped in. The car is all stock, has the original hub caps (although not on at the moment), the engine was rebuilt about a year ago according the the previous owner. The carb was also rebuilt recently but it was fine tuned, so thats what Im working on right now. Its an automatic, shows 66,xxx although its probably 166,xxx. the interior is mostly intact, one crack on the dash, front seats have some tears along the seams but the back is very clean. The doors are very clean too. The exterior is nice, original white paint, no major dents, no rust that I can see, a few minor surface rust but very minor, missing one bumper rubber but pretty much thats it. Anyways, my second vintage Toyota, I had a 76 celica gt a few years back but had to sell it and Ive been craving another vintage for a while now so Im happy I found this one. Ill post some pictures, keep in mind, I had not washed, waxed or cleaned anything in these pics, they are from the day I got the car. Thank you!

Yes, yes I did. It was raining pretty bad, I lived about 40 miles away, in order to get there I would of had to go on the 405 fwy to another busy freeway that had some steep hills, I didnt want to take a chance on wrecking it or it breaking down on the busy freeway. The car was idling very low and was almost turning off at idle, sooo, I pay yearly for road side assistance, I called them, told them I broke down and needed a tow back home...hehe.... and voila, free tow...why not take advantage?? After I got home I took a better look and all it needs is adjustments to the screws on the carb. Its running pretty good now, Im a novice with carbs so Im still tweeking it to get it better. Anyways, thank you for the complement, I really enjoy it.
