Please visit the Toyopet Crown group as Mike had mentioned above on his reply as I will be posting starting today the engine rebuilding for everyone to see the progress. The car arrived on Friday afternoon and we waited until 9:30 PM to start tearing down the front of the car because we had 106 degrees here in Tempe . At 2:30 AM the engine was out. Saturday morning we pushed the car back in the trailer for the long journey to Mississippi , So please visit the Toyopet Group to see the progress of the engine. Thank You to everyone Frenchy Frenchy here I am very happy to be doing the restoration of the engine / transmission on this very unique piece of history.

I can tell you it's going to a U.S museum. They are coming to get the car this Thursday. If they approve I will advise where it's going. Hopefully they have Frenchy help out on this. It truly is a piece of toyota import history. I sold this car for a friend on ebay. I can tell you it’s going to a U.S museum. They are coming to get the car this Thursday.
