In I got to drive a rally-prepped Toyota Corolla rally car up in the Pacific Northwest. It was absolutely incredible, one of the best cars I’ve ever wheeled. Here’s one that’s even better and it’s for sale. How much better? Well, this one’s seller is asking $20,000.

The AE86 I drove was cobbled together from various other parts and cars, a real hero of a car, Nameless Performance’s old Purple Panda. It had, I don’t know, 100 horsepower? Maybe a bit more. It was simple. It worked. It was full of charm.

The PNW is host to another well-known ‘Rolla rally car, though, and that’s John Reed’s stage car. With an engine swap from a much later Toyota, it makes 200 horsepower and is clean and extremely professionally prepped. It isn’t just cute and fun, it’s fast.

Reed preps serious race cars, so his personal car is also pretty professional. :

This will be the hardest vehicle sale I have ever made, especially now that I have been driving it again. But better in the hands of someone who has the time and resources to rally it, rather than collecting the wrong kind of dust in my garage.

Asking price of $20,000. Payment via cash, cashiers check or wire transfer. Oregon title in hand.
