1979 Toyota Corolla sells for $12,750 at auction

A low-mileage 1979 Toyota Corolla has sold at auction for twice its original purchase price, with the virtual hammer falling on a final bid of $12,750. Rich Fowler from Collecting Cars Australia told CarAdvice the untampered condition of the Corolla contributed to the healthy price. "We consigned the Corolla because it was in 'granny-spec' with just 31,000 kms and no modifications, it qualifies as an entry-level collector car," Mr Fowler said.
