Dad bought one of these, a Corona SR5. Silver with grey naugahyde interior. Had the lesser engine though. Single overhead cam. Was a VERY cool sporty car, looked just like this but had the mirrors close to the drivers cab. Miss it, should have kept it. They even look cool 50 years later!
I had the privilege of owning one similar to this in Prussian Blue. Awesome car, easy to fix and strong engine. Dash layout to date is the best of cars I have owned.
Clean, immaculate, I used to own the American version in gold, love it thoroughly. Thank you so much for sharing it. It's got nice lower end torque and decent acceleration throughout the gears and powerband. Those carbs work really well with that motor.
I had a 1974 Corona that was bought new by my step grandmother that suffered dementia and no longer could drive it. Unfortunately it was a 4 door but a surprisingly good automatic transmission and I put nearly 70,000 miles on it in less than two years. That was a great little engine
I had 1971 Corona Mk2 4 Dr sedan 4 sp 18rc single overhead cam single carb. Just a basic sedan about 100 hp +\-. But was incredibly tough durable, was so easy driving, tracked beautifully down the road and did it without any twitchy ness. Highway,mud dirt road ,snow( I just put snows on the rear and bags of salt in trunk and that car was unstoppable ,was fearless, almost indestructible. 320,000 miles (with one valve job at about 170k) engine ran perfectly when I reluctantly had to put the old girls down due to severe rust. Almost cried dropping it off at junk yard.😢
I'm in South Africa. We had around 4 of these in our extended family during the 90s. Sadly can't see a single one these days. Love this video, and this car is immaculate 👌 If anyone needs a rear glass for this, I have one in the attic.
A good HS friends mother had a brand new Corona 1900 delux, gas 4-door. Very nice car. I believe it was 1971. They were rare when new. Most people in Calif. were buying Chevy Vega and Ford Pinto and cheaper Datsun 510's. I had many 510's.
@@ericp8345 What made a 510 unique, it was a copy of a BMW or even a Porsche boxer. The 510 had independent suspension and disk brakes. Some English cars had this in the 60's as well. No one was as cheap as a 510 or got 30 mpg.
No bro you are completely wrong. This Corona 2000GT does not belong in a museum, it belongs to someone worthy enough to take care of it well and ride it until the last day has come. Do you reckon " Ride or Die " ? Hopefully I could own one of these very soon, so lovely❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Man you can just hear that little beast breath when you step on the accelerator.. love it. I own a RT105 and its in terrible condition compared to this beauty..very cool review
Mate..she's a beauty alright.i have a 74 coupe the same color, lower trim level than yours but all original & weathered .with a 3t-eu & 5 speed to replace the 18r & auto.
Now up for auction on Bring a Trailer. bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-toyota-corona-2000-gt-2/ at No Reserve!
Man, i feel like driving a car like this will make you forget a stressful day and put a smile on your face. Thanks for the video!
Toyota one of the best name in car manufacturers.

WoW!! This is an unbelievably mint condition. What a piece of gem. Whoever got this one, is one of the luckiest car guys out there. What a keeper.
Nice video and sweet car!! It seems like a blast to drive!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. It is an absolute blast

I own a 76 RT105, nothing like this though.. but I would love to own a 510.. I think the dimensions are very close to this coupe.

Is this the 2.3L V6 version? My friend just grabbed one with 39km on the clock
Here in Philippines name of company is toyota Delta dealership during the 70s in that day
Full originale??
Which museum has this pre loved gem 💎?
Museum piece should have all genuine OEM authentic parts with no aftermarket IMHO
Mate..she's a beauty alright.i have a 74 coupe the same color, lower trim level than yours but all original & weathered .with a 3t-eu & 5 speed to replace the 18r & auto.
