If it were closer, and I had the approval to actually start shopping for a new car, I'd definitely be taking a look.

Dayum a phone number!
Looks interesting.... later car, later injection..din't say if manual or autotragique but $800 ain't bad. 240 prices have been going up strongly since the economy has been crazy.

It's even "rally white"thumbs up

OK , if it isn't sold by Saturday I'll make an offer on it , if it is sold we got our W-2's and the little lady said I could get a car so if it would be better to hold out let me know, and I will for the RIGHT car!! I was gonna use the money to cage the corolla but I'm kinda hooked on the volvos now smiling smiley

I can assure you that down the road, you'll see it was a smarter choice. (I had one of those things years ago, got it for free and it was a fun little shit-box, LOTS of fun to pound the piss out of, but already in the early 90s it was a bitch to find parts for, and it seemed like Toyota changed tons of stuff every year so you HAD TO have just a '79 ignition igniter or starter relay...pain in the ass. 240s were made from 1975 to 1993 with only superficial changes to the sheetmetal and small detail changes inside the motor--and the change from old K-Jet to Bosch electronic injection...
Much easier car to live with, and once they have good suspension, they're hilariously fun to beat on...
And remember, I say this as a Ford guy...

That thing is perfect! 5 speed as is OBVIOUS in the picture to anyone willing to look.



Big TV headlights are second behind the dual rounds from late 70s BUT the newer wiring and such is a bonus making the Big TV my preference.
