My first car popped up a few years ago.

http://www.2040-cars.com/Toyota/Celi...engine-667323/

It had about 180k miles when I bought it. I bought it for $1000 working an after-school job in a small factory making orchard loppers and picking buckets. I think I sold it for $500 in 2006 with about 220k miles. Not pretty but very solid. Also swapped the original 4spd gearbox for a 5spd because I was doing a lot of freeway driving. I swapped the original carburetor for a new Weber 32/36. Did new wheel bearings and brakes all around. Swapped a few tan interior parts for black ones off of wreaking yard cars. It already had the wild green and gold corduroy upholstery when I bought it. Great car for a broke high school senior. I bought a '71 coupe and a '74 coupe shortly after.
