Our Take:
- The 1973 Toyota Corolla, known among enthusiasts as the TE27—often affectionately called the "Mango"—is a gem of automotive history. This particular Corolla comes from a time when Toyota was carving its reputation for reliability, but these days, the TE27 is cherished for its distinctive styling and lightweight, sporty feel.
- Under the hood, we've got the stock 2TC motor, which, while not a powerhouse by modern standards, offers that classic carbureted charm and simplicity. The fact this vehicle is listed with a 5-speed manual is intriguing, as a manual transmission wasn't standard; many enthusiasts swapped them in for a more engaging drive experience.
- The TE27's recent window and engine-out paint job suggests meticulous attention to detail—ideal for those who appreciate a fresh, polished look without sacrificing authenticity. Plus, an interior refresh with new carpet, a new headliner, and reupholstered seats means the ride's as comfortable as she is pretty.
- With only 58,000 miles on the clock, this Corolla has seen far fewer roads than most of her contemporaries, adding to her rarity. The new trims, seals, and chrome parts not only enhance her appearance but also improve durability, making this car a lovely blend of vintage appeal and practical updates.
