Junkyard Gem: 1981 Toyota Tercel Hatchback Autoblog 1 hr ago Murilee Martin
The original Tercel was the first Toyota sold in North America with front-wheel-drive, with the first-generation cars available here for the 1980 through 1982 model years. Initially badged as
Corolla Tercels, in order to cash in on the name recognition established bythebulletproofCorollassoldhereduringthe1970s (more recently, Toyota did the same thing by calling the Aqua the Prius C over here), these cars had tiny price tags and little need for fuel. Unfortunately, the Rust Monster saw the first-gen Tercels as tasty appetizers and consumed most of these cars decades ago. Here s an 81 hatch that beat the odds and came close to the magical 300,000-mile mark during its 40-year career, now residing in a self-service yard between Denver and Cheyenne.
