AI Listing Summary
This 1985 Toyota Corolla SR5 coupe is a unique build featuring a 1UZ V8 engine swap and a seam-welded chassis originally prepared by a Formula Drift driver. Despite its performance modifications and recent repaint, the car has a salvage title history and notable cosmetic imperfections from track use, suggesting substantial reconditioning may be needed.
