Don't know if it's really a good deal or anything, I've just never seen/heard of this thing before....

They sure went all out with the care they put into the photo accompanying the ad.

Is that a Citicar closest to the camera? And a rolls in the background? What the hell?

Not a Chrysler... but it was a mini hemi - under 3 liters! This was Toyota's "V" engine series... according to Wiki 1967 is a change year it could be the last of the V,, or the first of the 3V

$4000 is too much for my blood, as I only want an engine... and I'd prefer the 3rd gen 4V most

Nice history lesson in the ad, but could they...you know...maybe give some details about the car in lieu of pics?

I emailed him twice now. Hopefully he gets back. I would love to bring this car back to life even if it means I would have to ruin it with a 1UZFE swap.

I wouldn't consider that ruining it. I'd rather it be a Toyota engine than another LS swap

1UZFE is Toyota... and although very common it isn't an LS....

That's what he said, he's glad it's a toyota swap and not some LS swap.

Can you post the pics he sent? I really hope you get it, that'd be the coolest cruiser ever.

If he can come down on price and stay in contact then I'll surely grab it.
