Hey. just wondering if anyone here knows anything about the 1971-74 Toyota Crowns? I just love the look of em, mainly the front part where the indicator lights go. You don't see too many around, the only one I have ever seen is owned by a guy in my town and the thing is mint. I mainly want to know if there's much of an availability on spare parts as I have found one but it has a blown engine. I know they are from the same era as a 180B and there's still quite a few spare parts available for them but as I said these cars a pretty damn rare... Anyway here's a pic |

During work experience i helped rebuild the manual trans on one. It had plenty of go for such a big car. Very comfy to but rusted badly i thought the whole boot would fall off if i sat on it. Theres a few in my local area a yellow mint one and a 2 door version i really like. |

finding bits for em is tricky i think they had M series engines (4M i think?), of which bits arent too hard to find. generally have to pay toyota tax on them though so careful they look pretty sweet with a couple little touches like a bit lower (not nuts low, just a bit) and the right wheels ![]() lots of cool engine options for them too, if you wanted to stay with M engines the 7MGE or the GTE is pretty stout (ONLY if you rebuild it and do the headgasket right though, they're chronic for BHG's otherwise), or do it proud with a 1UZ (you dont have to think about opening them until post 500hp ![]() rust is a killer so have a GOOD look for it if you're lookin at one. you never know whats underneath, and cars like this its a very good chance theres some stuff to deal with |

Just looking at that ute photo and it struck me theres a bloke in alphington who has about 4. He has a wagon or two and the ute as well they are all in resonable nick to. Even though they never seem to go anywhere. Still i think they probably all have rust. The coupe is a really good looking car i used to ride my dragstar past one just after a huge hill every day on my way to work. |

Yes. You are right. It is an S60... I meant to put that in the first post. The s70's are the hardtop coupes.

And what wrecker would you be talking about? Not many wreckers around here have cars older than 1990, unless you are thinking of Talbot wreckers? |
