Okay, it may not be as ground scraping as the Carina firevan, but it surely is lowered a lot compared to normal Carinas (like the one right next to it):
Slammed Carina AA63 sedan
In some way it made me think of the sedan version of the Carina firevan: both slammed, deep dish rims and of course its red color… On the other hand this one is a bit over the top: a set of fender flares and a big beacon light on the roof.
It looks like the car had a clear headlight conversion as well, so at night it will probably look real mean! If I would live in a RHD country I would definitely gotten such a set for mine!
Unfortunately I don’t have anymore pictures nor info on this Carina than this. The picture was taken by one of my favorite Japanese blogs ( zenswd ) on a meeting but he didn’t give much more info than this.
It sits on its original rims and it has AC, power windows and power steering as luxury options. It still has its original 4A-GE with only 159000 kilometers on its odometer, so that engine should still be purring like a kitten!
It may not sound much, but you can’t complain for a car that is for sale at Auctions Yahoo and has a current bid of only $500! Even better: it has a buy me now option of only $1600! The auction will end in about 5 hours, so if you are quick you can just get it for $501! ;)
And the doors are also as rust free as mine… The car has 80000 kilometers on the odometer, so that’s roughly the same as mine… And I don’t think the price includes the dog…
So, you may ask why is this car this cheap then? It is simple: the car is an unwanted car! It is not a Celica or the sporty Corollas (TE71 or AE86) and AFAIK Portugal has no legislation for 25 year old cars like The Netherlands has. Basically it is considered an old clunker… The car has no papers! ;) Thanks to Santos for the correction!
Now, who can chip in for a one way ticket to Lissabon?? ;)
It may look quite ordinary, but if you look closer to Yokosuka‘s car you can see it has got widened fenders up front, wider Hayashi Streets up front, lowered a bit (FC3S and GX71 springs) and a rollcage inside.
I’m not too sure it was originally an AA63 since the grille wears a Carina SG badge… But it surely does have a 20v 4AGE blacktop up front!
With the helmet on the roof, the track number on the rear door window, roll cage and widened front fenders (and wheels) I suspect he uses the car for the occasional drift day.
Some time ago I posted a really nice Carina GT Coupe TA45 which I found at Japan Vintage. I also found a Carina GT-R Coupe AA63 on their website but never actually posted it…
Exhaust is not that special, but you can see from its bumper and taillights that it is the late type model. You could also have deducted that from the fact that it is an AA63! ;)
I also uploaded the video that was on the advertisement:
Nice TRD sticker on the side, but most probably only the springs and shocks are TRD.
Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 on Japan Vintage Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 on Japan Vintage And the interior looks pretty clean. However there are some dashboard parts missing: Right speaker cover is missing, pedals and steering wheel have been swapped, an ugly foglight switch on the center console and an ashtray has been mounted on the drivers door… Not as immaculate as the interior of the TA45 coupe…
All in all a very nice looking car. Obviously this car has been tuned for street usage which left its marks on the car itself. The price is 4300 dollars which is way too much for a 24 year old 168000km car with powersteering and aircon.
