Hello everyone. My name is Johnny and I've been trolling this website for years. I bought a long awaited 1971 Toyota Crown so I decided to register. I'm gonna need alot of advice on what to do with her.

That would be cool but I definitely don't have the funds for that.

That's pretty much it as long as I can get it running again. If not I was thinking about a motor swap. We'll see how it goes after I have my wife's foot surgically removed from my ass for buying it.

Almost got it running last night. I'm gonna have to pull the carb off and have a look at how bad it's gummed up.

Wow, gorgeous shape! It's this one, isn't it?

When I was Crown shopping I was checking this out; was too much and too far away though. But the body looks near perfect.

Never saw any engine pics however. Is it a 4M?

That is the same one Mike. It does have a 4M and the body is almost flawless thanks to the previous owner having the entire body reconditioned and painted.

Wow; that's two Crowns I was looking at before buying mine that I've seen on JNC now; nice (the other is the MS60 in Quebec).

I just re-read the ad I linked to. Funny thing about the left low-beam short: mine had the same issue. PO ran a 14ga wire from the right one to get around it.

Good luck with getting it going. I've just shelled out for a pro-rebuilt carb after messing around with a few carb kits and parts carbs. Hopefully this'll do the trick.

Thanks Mike. I took the carb off and it's like glue on the inside from siting for a couple of years. I'll keep you posted.

Here's the carb after it was completely disassembled, soaked, cleaned and reassembled. Let's see how it goes. :tu:
