I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these, much less one rust free and real clean…

Brings back memories for me..my best friends mom drove one of those 1st gen Camrys (was a manual!) and I spent lots of time in the backseat as a 7-8 year old. And you're right- they are super rare these days.

Nope, FWD. The first gen cars were RWD.
