CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Now at age 77, after many years of restoring and driving old race cars,I am retiring from the restoration business, and being encouraged by my family to sell most of my cars, and huge stock of Vintage parts..... so I am MOTIVATED to SELLALL REASONABLE OFFERS will be considered. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>This is a great opportunity to own one of my Vintage race cars with History, As shown in the first seven pictures, it has recently been stripped to bare metal and now in epoxy primer the next two pictures with red, are in the process of being stripped, and the last white & blue, AND INTERIOR pictures are as we found it several years ago, having been in a climate controlled shop storage for 17 years ( see "17 years of dust " on roof picture. This is a very well prepared vintage racer from the very early 70's that later was MWC Champion two years.. it will make a competitive Vintage B Sedan At least 4 Corollas participated in MidWest / East Coast Trans AM Series in 1972. John Strait, told us this is so similar and with a very close VIN # , he thought it might be his, but we have determined this is not the John Strait car., and believe it to be the #84 Kopp Toyota, Dearborn Mich, car driven by Warren Klingman, 1972 TransAm 2.5 Mid Ohio and the Glen, when it was dark red and white. In 1989 John Fontaine rebuilt the motor. At the time, his notes show the car being raced with Corolla front discs and Saab 99E rear discs, Corolla front struts with 72 Pinto Wagon Springs that were cut down, a 7/8 ADDCO Sway bar w/urethane bushes and links, and aluminum strut rod bushes. In the rear , stock shocks, the stock rear springs were knurled and a leaf added, ADDCO 5/8 sway bar w/adjusters, custom Panhard bar, urethane bushes and links, and a 4.30 locked rear. The motor was a 3TC block , 3TC crank 10-10, with a 2TC non-EGR head 12:1cr forged pistons, ROSS performance pushrods, valve springs and aluminum retainers..... ( SEE LATER FRESHENING SPECS BELOW ) Oct 21, 1990, had a 1st place finish one hour enduro In 1991 entered 9 races with 7 1st place finishes. Best Lap at the Looooong Race 125.87 In March 1993 new 3TC block , 40 over, Arias pistons, new 3TC crank 10-10, new pushrods, new bearings, all rebalanced, engine done by PROTECH Engines. New 350 Holley carb In March 1994 new front struts, shorter for better fit. New 4.10 rear. New front brake ducts. Replaced rod bearing ( showed no wear, but replaced anyway ) results... 1st in Points 1994 MidWestern Council Champion in both 1991 and 1994 The Fontaine notes include some setup data, including corner weights, timing variances, etc. John Sold the car in the Spring of 1995 to Case & Caron who ran it 1995 and 1996 in MWC . After a minor shunt and a rod failure, they removed the engine/trans, and sent it to LSM Wilson Engineering. The long block motor build was completed by Wilson Oct 1, 1998 . Being “busy” got in the way , and the motor was not re-installed. Everything was stored properly in a climatized building, until we acquired it 16 years later, in December 2014, and moved it to our shop in Alabama. The Car... This car is a true 1972 TE27 1600 VIN plate on the car TE27 049678 It appears totally solid and rust free, with only a bit very small rust holes rust on the floors where the paint was worn away, which is common. There is a dent in the drivers outer rocker panel and in a bit of the door jamb. At the time the rocker was creased, the doors were fiberglass panels. Both original steel door assemblies, as originally raced, were included with the car. ( NOW INSTALLED, as original, and the drivers door closes properly) FT-3 Fuel Cell, Fire System, Brake Proportioning Valve , seat with padded cover, are included.

Steel Shield Clutch is CENTERFORCE assembly Rear diff is probably the 4.1 ( will check)…... additional 3.9 is included, clean and ready to install for long tracks.
