Looks fairly straight there. RHF door looks a bit rotten but should scrub up ok

oh the front door is fine, thats just a weed haha

They arent worth much at all really, but that price would be a fait price if it has very little rust, and has a working motor.

 

give the thing a good wash before you buy it you may be surprised what you find, good or bad.

The way i see it, If it's been sitting around for a fair while

 

- Wheel bearings probably knackered

- Bushes probably old and hard/ cracked

- Brake hoses knackered

 

Plus i bet you it's a horrific smell when you open the doors, All old toyota's end up with the same, old, dank smell haha

that looks like a $500 crown at best. really neat good ones sell for between $2500 and $5000... so $1500 for one that needs lots of work is well over the top

It's a MS55 A

 

Unfortuantely mate early Crowns are worth less than Corolla's in similar condition.

 

This being the early (ugly) front style and 4 cylinder 5R motor makes it one of the most undesirable MS** Crowns ever made.

 

You just need to take a look at eBay and check out how hard these things are to sell, even in really good condition. I personally think the MS55 B is one of the best looking cars ever made, but the A's are ugly as sin in my opinion - that front clip is just awful.

 

My vote: Get it cheap, don't ever wash it...ever, supercharge the 5R (they're bulletproof) for the coolest rat rod in town.

 

I'm with Adam and wouldn't pay more than $500

Actually, it's an RS50, not MS :P
