Toyota Carina Van KA67V - July 1987

This is a 1987 Toyota Carina Van (KA67V), DX grade, 5-speed manual, gasoline engine, with 139,898 km of odometer-verified mileage. The seller has owned it since 1990 (second owner) and reports no rust underneath, though there are minor scratches. It has been kept in a garage and not driven in rain or winter. The car has extensive modifications: Carina Surf headlights and grille, a 71 Cresta lip spoiler, front suspension and brakes swapped to AE86 spec, TRD short-stroke shocks and lowering springs, a roll center adjuster, a 2-inch rear lowering steel block, front and rear hub bearings replaced, a rebuilt carburetor with TRD anti-bias modification, transmission swapped from 4-speed to 5-speed with an overhauled clutch and TRD quick shift, a one-off muffler, a Momo steering wheel, an intermittent wiper relay, and an Omori tachometer. Wheels are 7J front / 8.5J rear with some rear tire protrusion. The A/C cools well but has some minor refrigerant leakage. A known issue is a failed tailgate damper, so the rear hatch will not stay open on its own. Vehicle inspection (shaken) is valid through July 2026 (has already lapsed as of a later seller update); passing renewal may require only a tire change but could be an issue at some inspection shops due to modifications. The seller states the car cannot be registered in NOx/PM emission-restricted areas. Original seats, muffler, and inspection-spec tires are included.

Seller describes only minor cosmetic scratches and no underbody rust, calling overall condition good for its age. Known mechanical issue: the tailgate/back gate damper has failed and will not hold the hatch open, and the A/C has some minor refrigerant loss.
