I don't want to have to sell this car, but some financial stuff regarding college has come up and it needs to go fast.
I'm putting up my 1987 Corolla.
In the past month I have completely converted this car from an SR5 to a Blacktop 20v.
I have put many hours and dollars into making this car what it is right now.
However, I am putting it up because one of the rod bearings is on its way out and I don't have the cash currently to pull the bottom end and replace the bearing. I need to stop spending money on my project cars and spend it for tuition this semester.
The engine is in the car, but the starter, ITBs, harness, and cooling lines are all disconnected. I was getting prepared to pull the motor and have it rebuilt when I found out that I have some unexpected expenses for school.
Anyways, on to the details about her.
159XXX miles on the chassis. The Blacktop has about 40,000 miles on it. The car is clean inside and out. The only interior piece missing is a $15 clock bezel. The OEM casette deck/radio combo is still in the car and functions great.
As for the exterior, the paint is original and in great condition except for the rear bumper which is fading and bubbling up. The sunroof has minor rust on it, but does NOT leak at all.
Here's a list of parts that's been put into it (pretty much everything was changed for the conversion in terms of engine/drivetrain):
-4age Blacktop 20v, ~40,000 miles - $1200
-Rebuilt t50 transmission with roughly 300 miles on it - $400

That's over $4500 in brand new parts on this car, save for the motor. The shell alone is worth 1500 or so. A $700 rebuild and you'll have a clean 86 with tons of new parts and a completely refreshed power train.
Car will of course need to be towed.
My asking price is $2900 as that's exactly what I need right now, and I need it gone. This setup is an absolute steal for this price. I need to get rid of it preferably before this coming Monday, but absolutely by next Friday.
