FJ sedan




I saw this car at a garage and asked the mechanic it belonged to if he wanted to sell.
I got it for $1400. It had a shaved head, lumpy cam and extractors. The mechanic adapted the Corona 4 speed to fit. It was quite fast off the line.
I was 17 and cruised Dunedin streets extensively. In my memory the soundtrack for this time was Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the edge of town and The Cars.
