Sadly, the transmission blew out not long after he got back his fixed T4, AKA the PW (Patty Wagon):

Aw man, thought I wrote you last time. The PW died, the tranny went out. I was leaving the next day for a long term trip and the shop it was at wanted it off the lot. I had no where to store it, and no time sell it. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to tow it away.
On a positive note, her legacy will live on. She was used on a movie set, and will be appearing in a full feature called An Evening with Beverly Luff Lynn. Its a comedy, be on the look out for it.

This Tercel has been immortalized forever, it's in a newly released movie!
It shows up at the beginning of the online movie trailer:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6518270/vi ... _=tt_ov_vi
About 2 years back, I drove 200+ miles one way to rescue this car,
broken down in a little town near Crater Lake Oregon.
Replaced the engine, and sold it back to same guy I bought it from.

If the "Greasy Strangler" people had their hands on it, that car is likely soiled for life.
