This is Trevor Crowe's Chevy V8 powered Toyota Corolla OSCA car. Crowe, who didn't have much money at the time, built this car from a wrecked four door sedan. According to Crowe, it had been barrel-rolled, and its occupants were killed. he worked at Toyota at the time and was able to purchase brand new coupe rear quarters and roof, and modified everything else to suit.

I believe this car later went to Mike Moore, the speedway racer, who circuit raced it for a time, but its my understanding it eventually became a dirt track car.

The Corolla which Trevor built wound up being a Modified Sportsman driven by Dave Bray at (mainly ) Waikaraka, nder #5. (I crewed for him) It later went to Dirt track at Meremere and Waiuku. When Dave had it motor was a Hemi 6.
