1973 Toyota Corolla Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1973 Toyota Corolla was mostly unchanged from the previous year. The biggest change was the introduction of the SR5 model, a sporty coupe with a five-speed manual transmission.
The 1973 Toyota Corolla had a four-cylinder, 1.6-liter, 88 horsepower engine. It was available as a coupe, a wagon or a sedan. The sedan came in three trim levels: Standard, Deluxe, and Hi-Deluxe. The coupe was available in a Deluxe, SL, SR, and SR5.
The styling for the 1973 Toyota Corolla was still very simple and conservative, but its value and simplicity was earning many fans.

this is to date the most fun i had on 4 wheels. the 2TC engine paired with the 5 speed transmission move the car along quite well, you must be careful when cornering not to over steer the car because of the rear wheel drive. the body is very pleasing to the eye, and has more room than expected on the interior. with after market wheels and high performance tires this little car moves like a slot car, and attracts a lot of attention.

We owned this car from new.it was bought in october 1973 and it is still with its original engine..63600 miles on the clock. The model is the 1200 coupe sl fitted with 2 twin Aisin carburattors and 10:1 compression ratio. Its interior is pretty luxurious, it boast a wooden dashboard, sporty instrumenatation, seat belts. The colour is original too.. its brown. Jan 23, 2007
