I have an 89 Corolla All-Trac that I need to get out of my driveway.  The car is driveable (it just came back from a 3000km trip to the East Coast) but my wife thinks it isn't safe, so now it is becoming a parts car.  I have a neighbour that would love to scrap it in his wrecking yard but I would prefer that someone take it that likes these great vehicles as much as I do.  The body is in pretty rough shape, especially around the back end, but there are a lot of good parts left on it.  I don't want to sell it piece by piece, but if someone is willing to come to Eastern Ontario, maybe we can make a deal.  I am the second owner of the car..it has 417,000km on the original engine and clutch!
I'm asking $300 o.b.o.

I also hope someone buys it .  No sense in scrapping a drivable vehicle, especially one as unique as our A-Ts.

I lost the email from the guy who is on this board from Ontario. I hope he spots this!

Is that old gem a standard or automagic trans? It's the same color as my Carib, and I'll do my best to see that it doesn't go to scrap. I have 2 of them myself, one for parts and a buddy of mine has one, plus I know another local guy who could use parts from it. We'd just cannibalize it over time. I hope you haven't scrapped it already.....

I might be interested in those rims if you guys pick it up and you want to get rid of them? They look to be in good shape! Hopefully hes got it.

It's going to the bone yard soon..but not quite yet.

Anybody that wants it can have it..you just have to come and get it..I really have to move it soon from where it is stored..let me know.

Going...Going...Just about gone

I'd love to have it, but kind of far away (you're in Canada?).  Is it still drivable?  if anything, maybe you can give it to a charity?

Wish you had of posted your phone number.
If its still in your hands, I can have it removed immediately.

Hi folks,
Just thought I'd mention that guys like Steve are a credit to the human race.
Here's a gentleman who truly appreciates the "car guy" mentality.
He had enjoyed this car for 12 years and passed it on - free of charge I must mention - so at least parts of it can continue on.
We all know how rare these cars are, and scrap yards here, crush them almost immediately if 20+ years old.

So, hats off to Steve. Doing what it takes to keep these gems on the road !!

I'm glad the wagon has a chance to live on, even as a donor to other All-Tracs!

Do you have the car now? I'm just wondering since I am very much in need of a part if this one is being parted out. PM me or post a reply if any of it is available as I'd love to grab a few parts, chiefly the front drive shaft. Thanks!

Yes, car is in my possession and I will begin tear down this weekend hopefully.
Where are you Dozzi ?
Specifically got this car for the L&R front cv shafts for my 93.

If you end up parting it out, you could post here, I'm sure you'll get some bites from us

I'm hoping to buy another All-Trac wagon someday just to have an "extra" around... need a headlight, sun visor, sensor, whatever, it's right there in my backyard  

Thanks riffraff,

I'm located in San Francisco, and I found a parts seller that has the correct sized new universal joints for the driveshaft. I'm hoping now that its just a matter of receiving them and installing them, but I'm so busy that I won't be able to do it for another week and a half. I'm hoping that solves the rattle below, but if I do indeed need the shaft parts I will let you know soon.

I also wouldn't mind having that trunk cover (my AT didn't sell with one) if you've got a spare you're willing to let go of.

Out of curiosity, how much were those universal joints you bought?  Part #s?  And how do you know if they're going bad?  I've noticed since I bought my wagon, occasionally when I shift gears (mostly at slower speeds) I will hear a low clonking sound from the back.  Would that be the universal joints being worn?
