Hi you all...I'm glad to find such an active Luv site and I'm looking forward to learning more about my LUV. I had been driving my 73 LUV since '84 and even put in a 20-R toyota engine and 5-speed. I did a lot of traveling in that one until I 'rattled' a rod in San Diego in '02. Had to tow it home to Phx. About the time I was ready to rebuild the engine again I came across a stock ''77 LUV for 750.00. Figured I'd combine the two but after a good Az emissions test, I decided to just drive the '77 until it quit. Well, after a few new parts and a recent new head/valve job, it is still running great and ready for a trip to Texas this spring. Mine isn't any beautiful thing but it sure runs good. I figured the '73 was one of the last 'trans-continental' LUVs left as I drove it to D.C. five or six times during the '90s. But maybe...the new one will work out. Glad to meet you guys..Don.
