Chose are 1st Lemons car and it turns out to be very rare....

yeah, don't jack that one up... its probably not worth all that much,but a shame to hack it as there are so few of them. Go for the F10

Cheeseroo's advice will never steer you wrong.

Go for it.

This is the same advice Judge Phil gave me when I was considering
the Super Snipe.   Take that for what you think it is worth.

I did, however, sell $137 worth of oddball parts to a restorer after
the first one was rolled at Chuckwalla.

Thank you guys for the advice. Were going to run it. Are main concern is finding a engine that will work for the first thing. It has a front engine mount and a transmission mount from what I could see around the bush that grew around the engine.... kind of oddball from what I have seen for automobiles.

The Tiara should have a Toyota R engine, which means you should be in good shape finding drivetrain stuff-- they made the R for close to 50 years, and Toyota tended to keep stuff like engine mount locations and bellhousing patterns the same for decades. If the SOHC 20R or 22R fits, you'll have an easy time finding engines. The earlier pushrod engines are a little harder to find, but they're out there.

One hot Tehachapi day in the Summer of '87, my sister and I got bored and decided to paint her faded brown GLC with rattle cans of fluorescent green paint. Looked like crap. So we pitched in money from our landscaping jobs and took it to Earl Scheib in Bakersfield and got the most obnoxious, bright, VW fluorescent green paint job we could for 49.99. We took it home and used some leftover pink paint from my Bakersfield Speedway Mercury Montego Enduro car and painted all the trim. Butt Terrible. But she loved that car. She says she still misses it. Drove it the rest of the way through high school. We had a great bonding moment doing that. We had never gotten along until we did that little project.
That is the same summer we cut the roof off my Grams 68 Olds 98 and painted it bright yellow. I was dating a cheerleader then too. Good times.

Now I want a GLC. And and Olds 98.

Trust me, we race 2 "rare" cars....rare does not always, and usually doesn't equate to valuable...

Same situation with my Super Snipe.   It is the only race-prepared Super Snipe
in the country, perhaps the world, yet nobody has come offering briefcases full
of money. 

What could possibly be wrong?

Well I was wrong on the engine mount being weird. It just had too much dirt around the front of the motor for me to see it properly. For being in South Dakota and finding anything older Toyota thats cheap, rwd and runs, was kinda hard. so I took the cheaper easier route and  I ended up buying a 89 Ranger with a 2.3 and 5 speed for like $40 or 3 cases of beer.  Probably not the most original route but I gotta work with I can afford. I have a good feeling the brakes and suspension parts are going to ruin my already $0.00 budget (I'm finding out that having a baby is way more expensive than this and ate up my budget instantly). I'll post a couple of pics of the tiara later tonight

It's...ADORABLE!!!

Ohmygosh, you have to run the Tiara. Have to. ADORABLE!

Are there any easy-to-find-at-the-junkyard front suspension subframes you could just graft into the thing? Perhaps a Miata?
