It's Bronze, Auto (3 speed), chrome mags, oringinal interior (dark red). It weighs 1230kg and it drives fine. It has been preserved and Iam willing to sell it to someone for the right price.
The engine bay is pretty big so the possibilities are endless (almost).
Iam in Canberra

Is there any rust anywhere? Is it far from RWC?
They seem to rust out in the doors and also in front and behind the rear wheel.
And what is your right price?

G'day Davo,
The car has been garaged the last 10 years. I Only got it three months ago. The body is in good condition and the paint is still ok. No rust from what I can see. How far from RWC? Well I drive it at the moment. the only thing is an engine oil leak but I dont think its too serious, considering the age (1974). It has a better looking grill than the 4 doors and a different bonnet pattern also.
Price: Well I am only willing to sell it to someone who really wants it, because I would rather keep it myself, of course. One week after I started driving it, i found a note on my windscreen from someone very keen making me an offer. He offered me $500neg AND his 1982 Corona XT130 (3 months rego for it). I didn't even bother calling him back. I don't know what people are willing to pay, but for me to sell it i would want $2700neg.
anyway, iam always welcome to offers (or possible swap)
get back to me anyway, I like to hear from other toyota fans

I think a 7M-GE would look pretty under the bonnet of that and should go in quite easy...

I spent a week measuring mine up against one at a local wreckers looking at ways to make it fit  (before I studied the rules and realised I couldn't race it competitively  ) - that back right exhaust port is mighty close to the steering box  . But the engine mounts would be a cinch.

Dave,
If Jamie can shoehorn a 1UZ with not one but TWO turbo's hanging off it into a TA22 it has got to fit in a MKII Corona !!
Makes me wish I hadn't given mine away

Hasn't Jamie got rack and pinion steering? 
But it is still very do-able.

GT: how much of a headfook would it be to convert this baby to manual and with GE power? even GTE if theres one for the right price
M power only please
Jofus: Have you considered lowering the price? (dont mean to insult, just asking, cos 2.5k for a car that i cant drive right away is a bit too much for me atm, i need a car for work) and would you consider transporting it down south?

Tom,
putting any M series engine in an MX22 would be quite easy. You would need to modify the sump and pick up to a midsump postion (easy - you have one on the 2M to pilfer). The engine mounts bolt straight up. A W50 or W5* will fit in the tunnel and bolt up to the std crossmember (I'd imagine an R154 would need a little 'tunnel massaging'). If you were to go EFI, you would need feed and EFI pumps and a surge tank. The engine bay is certainly capacious enough to accept a turbo engine (read 7MGTE) and I hear there is one in Adelaide setup this way. Of course, the engine loom is the other minor obstacle, but easily overcome with a wiring diagram and soldering iron.
Cheers Dave.
