Hey!!! I use those.. I use to use the pretty Corbin clamps..... But hey, I drive my stuff and after having a couple fail I simply don't trust them anymore.... Thirty years ago I never had one fail... Makes you wonder where are they being made these days....drive my stuff and canThe same person that used worm-drive clamps on the radiator hoses and fuel filter hoses.

That is correct. I learned that the easy way from Russ Jenkins, who bought a crappy, rusted out hood from me with the Hemi air grabber box.

My dad got second degree burns to the face when a Corbin clamp failed on his 1964 Jeep Wagoneer. Every new car he bought after got worm clamps before it left the dealership. My fifth GTX came with worm clamps. I put a good bit of money into cleaning up the engine compartment, but I left the worm clamps in place.

"I know what I've got!" Yeah, so do we.
It just needs a large 01 painted on the doors to be complete
I like it a lot, but I would have to make some changes in the engine bay and a few minor changes underneath it. The pictures don't make it easy to see if there are issues with paint and bodywork.
It's only a $40k car to me, but someone will no doubt pay more.
I agree.
Just a car to have fun with. And if it bends in half when you pop the clutch..... oh well.
I'm sure it will be for sale again later on as a "matching numbers restoration" ("seller states") from another Toyota flipper........
I don't know the seller, nor do I know the history of the car, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it turns out to be a re-VINed, restamped body numbers 68 or 69 Satellite or Road Runner.
Didn't the NHOA have VIN records?

Agreed, That car is an absolute mess
Even the Hemi emblem on the rear is wrong.
