Craigslist Pick of the Week: Pro Street Toyota Starlet


Craigslist Pick of the Week: Pro Street Toyota Starlet

Man, we saw this little guy and started drooling. It’s a Toyota Starlet with a bad-ass cage, all the tin work done, and just needing a motor and transmission to terrorize the land.

Sure it’s tiny, and probably would score a -175 on a comfort scale of 1 to 10, but it would definitely turn some heads. The miniscule wheelbase may also make it turn some donuts on the track, but in reality a fairly mild small-block with a snoot of nitrous would make this thing haul buckets of ass.

Maybe you’re under 5’8” tall and want to go on Drag Week, this is the little rice bowl for you. These cars are as rare as hen’s teeth on the east coast as they were made from magical evaporating steel when new. As the old joke goes, you could scrape some of the paint off and still see the Budweiser labels.

Someone out there…do it. Here’s the ad.
