Here's the only pic I have of my '79 Corona back in the PI. No engine mods except for an aftermarket air filter, suspension mods were KYB gas struts (back then ,that was a mod!), Nodalo's header/exhaust system.
my dad had one too back in the day, as his police patrol car, it could have been an older model, but toyota was the main line of service for the government because of "Don" Silverio who owned Toyota

Cool ! Yeah, it was probably the model before mine. I used to see a lot of those Police cars over there.

Yeah, my buddy had one back home with an 18RG too. Aggressive cams with a lot of overlap.

Yup, If you had a Corona, the engine of choice was the 18RG. Brings back memories.

All those letter codes, 2T-G, 3T, 18-R, 18RG. Yamaha head, Weber 45s. The good old days!
