A Toyota Corolla from 1980 usually means one thing: simple, reliable Japanese motoring. This one took a very different path. A KE70 sedan in Poland has lost its rear roof, gained a widebody kit, and now looks like a tiny old-school pickup that could have come straight from a custom shop.

The project started with a full teardown and restoration. The builders then cut away the rear section of the roof and reshaped the car into a single-cab ute.

The mint green finish covers almost every surface, while huge boxy fenders add 20 cm (7.9 inches) to the width. Underneath sit 15x11.5-inch alloy wheels with stretched tires. Quad round headlights with yellow LED graphics give the front a bit of BMW E30 flavor.

The cabin remains a mystery since the listing has no interior photos, but it mentions Bride bucket seats and extra gauges. The suspension gets a custom air-ride system for the slammed stance, along with upgraded steering, brakes, and fuel systems. Under the hood, the original 1.3-liter gasoline engine produces 107 hp and sends power to the rear wheels through a manual gearbox.

The Corolla has 86,000 km (53,438 miles) on the clock and comes with a two-owner history and no reported accidents. The asking price sits at €9,500 ($11,000), with room for negotiation. The seller says he simply has too many project cars. For someone looking for a cheap, unusual car that will grab attention at every meet, could this strange little Corolla be the one?
