[TR] Toyota tranny conversion TR6?

[Bob Danielson]

Wouldn't you say that the reason you don't see 40 year old Toyotas is 
because they are exactly considered "collectibles" or classics...........but 
the W58 tranny has always been considered bullet-proof. The biggest problem 
going forward will be the availability of the tranny as I'm betting most of 
the original cars with them head straight to the crusher.

Any idea what percentage of TRs are still on the road 40 years later? If it 
weren't for folks like us there wouldn't be many.

Maybe, but when's the last time you saw a 40 year old Toyota on the road?
