FS: 1986 Toyota Corolla GT-S Coupe

[Zalthras]

I'm confused, because your pics show a zenki front and rear ends, with zenki interior...meaning 84-85 front grill, front marker lights, rear taillights, and trunk. A kouki (1986-87) AE86 should have a velour material door cards and seats as well as different front marker lights, grill, smoked taillights and a trunk with a black garnish.

Also the 10th digit on your VIN is F = 1985.


Otherwise, nice car. Decent price for a clean body =)

I have no idea what you are talking about. All I can say its an AE86. However, the VIN is AE88 because its a GTS not an SR5. An SR5 has an AE88 in the VIN.

You can read about it here:

So I'm not just making this stuff up. Yep, its a Zenki model with some modifications. Its not an SR5 conversion. Unfortunately, I don't have money to finish restoring it & its taking space at the garage. *I also need to finish my GD3!

BTW - in one of the photos, you can see the actual vin!

I wish I had $3500 and a two weeks to drive to and from Cali.

I wasn't implying that you're making stuff up or that it was an sr5. I was merely correcting the year of manufacture in the thread title. You stated it is a 1986, when the VIN says it's a 1985. Meaning it's a truely a 1985 (zenki) AE86 GTS.

10th digit in the VIN = F = 1985
AE88 in the USDM VIN = GTS
AE86 in the USDM VIN = SR5

The AE88 in the VIN should not be confused with the Chassis Model# which is AE86; Since the 88 in the vin represents model/trim while the 86 in the Model# represents 6th body revision of the 5th generation E type corollas.
