They both seem pretty pricey. For that price they both would have to be in pretty good nic.

what do you want the car for?

 

Track daily drift?????

 

i'd go with the 70 myself, i have always had a thing for 70's i have owned 8 of them.

 

i have owned a 55 to the are a nice car aswell.

 

it all depends on what you want out of the car

I'm looking at the 55 for its unique Style

the 70 looks the same to some of the cars in the 80's era.

go with the 55. has a more oldskool look than the 70.

in my opinion a 70 needs a lot of work to look nice.

 

but on the other hand the 70 has a better rear suspension setup.

depends what you want oldskool? or in between.

the 55 was the last rounded sorta car and the 70's are all really boxy.

Snatched the 55!

has a few rusty bits no problem!

Flyin over to melbourne next week and driving it back to adelaide.

 

Hope to be restoring with you guys soon! :( ;) ;) :jamie:

Who in their right mind "snatches up" a KE70 for that price with "minimal rust"!!!!!!!!!!!

 

For that price you'd want NO RUST, no half assed mods, no half assed repairs, plenty of reg, a roady and a blow job.

 

Be mindfull that both reg and roadies are not transferable interstate.

 

AND

 

That "minimal rust" in Corolla langauge means its FULL of rust.

 

I got my KE70 home for $400 and i know i payed too much... $1700 - $2000 for a rusty rolla...

 

You guys are crazy

 

;)

Here it is ;)

Neato!

I'm excited.

re read what he posted, he got the fiddy five.

 

prices vary so much with corollas.

 

there are a lot of c**ts out there who put huge grate big prices on them, like 2-3k for a average spec ke70. they say its a good car good on fuel blah blah, at the end of the day its a smeg box in every way apart from perhaps being reasonably reliable in some cases...

Just don't complain when you go to sell your corolla and find the resale price is shite because everyone devalues them... ;)

At least its not a 70 ;)

Here it is ;)

If she's as clean in the flesh as she looks in the pic 1 fat gorilla is a fair price.

 

Good find.

 

:(

I wont have any problems with my Rolla:

 

A) its my daily, i will be driving it for a long time

 

B) if i lose money on the resale, i will have saved that and then some on the fuel and maintainance... good ol' 4K

 

C) unlike most other Rollas i've seen for sale, mine will be rust free and repaired by a pro. Cut n shut... NO BOG!!!

 

PLUS given the lack of of proper rust repairs i've seen, my rolla will be only 1 of only a small handfull of rust free KE70's!

:jamie:

she's got a bit of rust in the rear right guard that needs to be fixed as far as i know, but thats the whole fun of a project car :D

EDITZ

 

also, driver seat bit saggy, passenger seat bit warned dunnoo what else.

sick as, i didnt see that pic when i posted, doesn't look too bad.

 

 

oh and if i was to sell mine i wouldn't be selling to general public probaly as yes it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea being "modified".

 

 

good luck, cut skids

Don't wanna burst your bubble, but I went and had a look and that rear guard has had more bog put in it than a public toilet.
