Junkyard Find: 1987 Toyota Corolla GT-S FX16

Rear-wheel-drive AE86 Corolla GT-Ss are worth bucks these days, and you won't see them in low-priced self-serve wrecking yards. The AE82 front-wheel-drive Corolla GT-S hasn't held its value so well, and so examples do show up on The Crusher's doorstep. We saw this white '87 in California last year, and now I've found this silver '87 in Colorado.
I've never owned an FX16, but it's one of those classic 80s cars that I keep meaning to shop for.
Built at the NUMMI plant in Fremont, California, the FX16 was a worthy competitor to the Civic Si and VW GTI.
It was more awkward-looking than the VW and the Honda, what with its Toyota-stolid angular lines, but the 4A engine (shared with the MR2 as well as the AE86) made up for the already-dated-looking-in-'87 lines.
So, another FX16 GT-S about to leave the planet. I'm hoping a few solid examples will still be around when I decide to buy.
