Kidney, Anyone? 1958 Toyota Corona on YJA

Chances are, when you think of Toyota Corona, one of these pops into your head. It’s the first model Toyota designed specifically to suit US tastes and what really got the company moving in the US market. Or you might recall the Toyota Tiara, the USDM name for the Corona of the previous generation.

But here’s one that people have rarely ever seen, even those in Japan - a first-generation 1958 Toyopet Corona - and it’s for sale at Yahoo Japan Auctions. It has about 50,000 miles on it and the seller claims the littlest spot of rust. Granted, it’s not the prettiest thing, but it’s one hell of a rarity. As Indiana Jones would say, “It belongs in a museum!” And look at the pic below the jump; it actually runs!
The going price is about $13,800 with no bids.

Thanks to toyotageek for the tip!
