Adventures In Marketing: 1970 Toyota Corona Beats Green Monster Jet Car In Drag Race

Since my first car was a 1969 Toyota Corona sedan, I always look for these cars in junkyards. I toy with the idea of getting another first-gen Corona sedan someday, into which I will swap a 1UZ-FE engine out of a Lexus LS400, so of course I check the internetz for old Corona ads. Here's a good one! Yes, the '70 Corona sedan beats the mighty F-104-engined Green Monster LSR car in all categories, including a 98-yard drag race (in which the Corona gets about a 95-yard head start). As for trunk space and ease of parking… well, you're better off with a Corona than a jet dragster any day! from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
