Old Toyotas, huh? I remember borrowing my uncle's 80's Celica one month in highschool and being surprised at what a cultish following those things have. Everyone knows how the 90's Supras were the big thing for a while, but seeing such interest in the boxy 80's thangs was quite an eye opener! A good hobby in any case, and I think having an interest in the quirkier models is actually more fun; my girlfriend still laughs when she catches me admiring an old Saab 9000 Aero or VW Corrado!
As far as amps go, there are actually quite a few nice ones out there. A Jolida 202 or 102 would probably be alot of fun and perfect for a bedroom system. The Jolida hybrids get alot of good press too, so I wouldn't rule out the tiny 1301 either. Nicer ones that can be found under $1000 are Primaluna and Cayin, but for a budget bedroom setup I think one of the smaller Jolidas would be a blast.
