Vehicle Description

1979 Toyota Corolla KE30 Coupe
1-Family Owned, 35,000 Original Miles

Original, well-preserved 1979 Toyota Corolla KE30 Coupe for sale with just 35,500 original miles. This 1-family-owned Corolla was purchased new at Bob Reynolds Toyota in San Francisco on July 30th of 1979 and includes the original owner's guide, owner's manual, and radio instruction manual. It still wears its original white paint and blue interior. It even has its original California issued blue and gold license plates.

The original inline 4-cylinder motor starts instantly, burns clean, and runs smoothly with plenty of power. The automatic transmission shifts through the gears seamlessly and the car handles well with excellent braking. It has a newer set of 175/70 R13s with 90%+ tread remaining. It has been nicely looked after making it very nice to drive.

The exterior still wears its original factory-white finish with a deep shine and a nice overall appearance. There are some flaws as should be expected after 44 years yet overall looks very good. The original standard steel wheels are in good condition and the glass, trim, and lenses are remarkably well-preserved making the overall exterior show well. The undercarriage is all original with no rust or issues.

Inside it's a time machine as well with all accessories and gauges in good working order including horn, blinkers, heater fan, wipers, and original AM radio. The factory dash has no cracks. The door cards, rugs, and upholstery are all original and in phenomenal shape though there is a small tear on the lower driver's side bolster. Also note that the glue was beginning to fail on the headliner so we just had a brand new one installed. Overall it is remarkably well-preserved and very comfortable for even long cruises.

Not too many Japanese cars from the era have survived and have such low mileage making this special post-modern classic quite collectable.
