road test and review of the Sunchaser

Here is a link to the most comprehensive Toyota Sunchaser website.

The Toyota Sunchaser were built by The Griffith Company in Jacksonville, Florida and Santa Ana, California from the years 1979 to 1981. The company's headquarters were located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is estimated only that 3,000 Sunchaser's were manufactured. The example I am offering is probably the nicest and most original Sunchaser in existence. The odometer shows about 68,000 miles and I believe the miles are actual.

Here is the cars history as I understand it.
A South Florida car from day one. Purchased new on 7/8/81 at Oakland Toyota in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 27 years later in December 2007 the original owner sold it to her auto mechanic. At the time it had a blown head gasket, the mechanic repaired the engine including a complete valve job.
