Hi everyone! Last night, I posted a story on my blog about a Sports 800 Barn Find that a friend & I came across in 2005-2006. My friend wrote it and wishes to remain anonymous. If you like the Sports 800, follow the link and check it out. I hope you enjoy it... Toyotageek's GarageThe story will eventually show up on the TORC website in it's proper form. Michael ~toyotageek

Oh man......... That is one beautiful ride. I am green. I've just spent a while looking at that story and photo's. What an absolute Pearl. Dual carby 2-cylinder..... who woulda thought. There is nothing better than the excitement of such a barn find. I personally would fix that thing up enough to make it roadworthy, shell for a repop headlight cover and then simply cruise it just like it is. There is something stirring about finding a car like that and keeping it in the original state that it has naturally reached over it's years of life. I know most people think I'm crazy, but that car tells many more stories in it's current state than if it were to be restored to a shiny museum piece. Hence the love I have for my Stout. Aussie barn find. She will be staying looking like she is for a while, except for some simple yet key additions to make her stand out. Jeez that 800 is something else. I just spent another 10 minutes staring at the photo's. So much style. I think if I were ever to be in the presence of that car I would pull up a chair and just sit quietly and look at it..... take it all in. Great story, great pics.... thanks for sharing

;D Glad you enjoyed the story & photos. The SPORTS 800 is one of my all time favorite Toyota's, even more so than the 2000GT! I keep telling myself, one day... one day I'll own one!
