Today is April Fool's Day but this 1975 Toyota Corolla Wagon is no joke.

It needs some work -- it hasn't been restored -- but there has been some work done. The seller also claims to have OEM parts for what the vehicle needs.

That includes rebuilt front suspension parts and rebuilt front brake calipers. Other brake points are new, too, as is the Weber carburetor, fuel tank liner, and other parts. The heater core is rebuilt.

This Washington-based Toyota wagon is available for $7,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Seven thousand dollars?!? Definitely an April Fool's joke.

My younger brother had a '77 Corolla wagon (5-speed and a/c) as one of his first cars (bought it in 1985), and it was a decent reliable car, although he had to get the 5-speed rebuilt. This would be a good deal at $2,000, not at $7,000.

I would hope the guy has the original carb and air cleaner. The original carbs were very good, so why did he put a Weber on it? Couldn't find a rebuild kit?

Tassos the grille is more ridiculous than even most.. pickup trucks!The numbers for HP and TOrque are so low, they look like TYPOS.
Chris P Bacon Personally I still prefer a sedan (Volvo S60 is my daily). I spent a lot of times in National rentals. Looks wise, the Bu was interesting when it came out. Immediately lost me with the 1.5 four and CVT. I've driven it, but only the first time was by choice. Its just meh. If I see it on the Emerald Aisle I'll look for just about anything else.
1995 SC Cadillac's traditional core customers for the most part purchased their last new car 20 years ago and they haven't been able to figure out where to go next since then. They were flailing before EV's. No surprise they are still flailing.
Tassos no. I sure as hell will never miss it. It was a good car, but the Accord and the Camry were so much better. GM has not made any money on it in years, so the decision to kill it was right.
FreedMike The automatics in this generation of Focus were legendarily bad, but with the manual, these were legit little cars. So...what's this "Tom's Tune"? Apparently this is the answer: https://focus-power.com/our-company/
