ca18ae71 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 hi guys , i was at work today out in the middle of no-where the other day and caught a glimpse of what i thought to be a old junka , so i went and seen the owner a old guy (about 90 in the shade)who said it was a ms55 crown he bought new and has now stopped drive due to illness. once i cleared the 5 foot grass from around in and wiped the mold of the window ...about 1/4'' thick lol got the doors open and it is overrated original as the day it was built plastic protective covers everywhere even on the seats no crack dash no rips or tears , i thought it was to good to be true i asked if he still had the keys ..he did also original toyota keys like the factory jack,tool bag, and cross ply spare tyre,So i put my battery in it mounted a small Jerry can under the bonnet and 3 turns later life ... and 9 years of spiders web and a small family of birds come out the exhaust was missing a bit but the plugs would be pretty rooted , so anyways i moved it to the road brought it for 300 bucks got it home and there is no rust in her except alone the boot lid seem above the light and even that is very minor will post pics tomorrow as its dark as shit oh and it only has 108000 klms on the rocket clock , for future reference are all the m series motors interchangeable . it has a stock 2m but if it is tired are there any good upgrade motors that need little to no effort to install Quote

LittleRedSpirit Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Thats a great score! Â Try to get away from M motors, they have a bad rep. Known for bad HG failures. JZ ftmfw! :dance: Quote

PHATKE20S Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Mate those wheels in the last pic don't have enough holes....Crowns are 5 stud. Falcon pattern 5x114.3........Maybe some nice Tickford XR8 wheels would be worth a thought. Quote
