Is that............a late 70's early 80's Cressida? If so, a step up from an LS .........not you hippie.

Looks like an early model Toyota Cressida indeed. I do not believe that is a Mazda, nice Toyota emblem on the grill

Unless I'm missing a Toyota MX6 in my timeline somewhere.. Though MX73 is a Cressida if I'm not mistaken.

Sort of like the genetic dad of Lexus.. Great cars.

Don't people throw 1JZ's in there?

Yep. Cressies are RWD. I think sometimes people may swap in 2jz's as well, but 1jz being the more common swap.

That could be an evil sleeper....we used to have an 86 cressida wagon that unfortunately had been run out of oil and was ruined..but was otherwise a really nice car inside and out.

it's an 82 auto, with a BHG

i'm just going to replace the HG and get it running first.

then work on converting it to 5 speed and IRS, since it's an X62 with a solid rear.

as for miles, the odometer says 124,XXX
