Different Corona Models

[mrzebra]

Hello, first post to the boards(just found your lovely site recently). So I figured I'd make my first post about a question that has been bugging me for quite some time.

I check on ebay fairly often, trying to find the exact version of corona I had when I was a teen(1968 corona coupe, first car, fell in love with it, lost it, want another), and in checking ebay and various internet sites, I've seen 2 models for sale that appear to be right side drive.

A Corona Ute, and a Corona Wagon.(both in 1968 versions)

So my question becomes, were these two models of Corona only for sale outside of North America? More specifically, only in Australia/New Zealand?(Those are the only places I've seen them for sale)

I'm just wondering because, well, they're awesome looking vehicles and some day(read: when I win the lottery) I'd love to get one of each.

Thanks for reading, I await your knowledgable responses.

Firstly, welcome to the TORC forums. I have posted an eBay link on your post in the Wanted section to a '67 Corona coupe just like your old one. You won't see too many of these in USA so if you got the money jump on it because it is only going to become more valuable.

Secondly......... if you are wanting to buy a shovel nose Corona Ute...... please take a number and line up behind me. There is a guy that either uses this forum or is friends with some of these guys at least who has this yellow one...... and I WANT IT !!!!

I'm still in shock at the LHD corona ute.

I've still not seen even a brochure that shows that for N. America.

Fantastic vehicle

You think that is rare? how about a double cab?

[mrzebra]

Wow, haven't even seen a pic of that before now.

Very nice.

Yep, we can....... has to be over 30 years old and requires a special permit and also meant to have a "Left Hand Drive" sign on the back, but none of the guys bother with that cos it ain't cooooooool.
