I have for sale a 1985 Toyota Celica GTS convertible. It has the original 22re engine with a W58 5 Speed manual transmission. The car currently has 143,000 miles on the odometer, but everything mechanical has recently been 100% restored.
I have the original window sticker for this car and it sold for over $19,000 new! I also have the original owners manual and owners guide, along with a factory service manual and the Celica Convertible factory repair manual supplement.
This car has been garaged for nearly all of its life and has absolutely zero rust. The body is perfect, with no dents or dings and no body filler anywhere. I have personally owned this car for the last 10 years, and for the last 5 years I have been in the process of doing a complete restoration of the car. At this point, everything mechanical on the car has been completely restored and it runs and drives like a brand new car. Everything on the car works perfectly- all 4 power windows work perfectly, the top goes up and down perfectly, both power side mirrors are intact and function perfectly, the air conditioning still has the original R12 freon in it and still works perfectly.
Over the last 5 years, here are some of the details of what I have done to this car:
Engine completely rebuilt, balanced and blueprinted at 140,500 miles (block bored, honed and decked, new freeze plugs, crank polished, new pistons, new rocker arm shafts, new camshaft and valve springs, new oil pump, new water pump, new timing chain and tensioner,new distributor cap and rotor, new spark plugs and plug wires, all new bearings, seals and fluids)
New radiator and radiator hoses, new heavy duty thermostat
W58 manual transmission disassembled, inspected, bearings replaced where needed, new gaskets
New clutch assembly (NAPA lifetime warranty), new clutch master cylinder, new clutch fluid
New pinion seal and axle seals in rear end, new lucas synthetic gear oil
New front tie rods and lower ball joints, 4 wheel alignment
New Cooper Cobra tires (correct GTS size 245/60/14)
New flexible brake lines at all 4 wheels (8 hoses total), All 4 brake calipers disassembled and rebuilt
Brake fluid flushed and replaced, new front and rear brake pads, wheel bearings cleaned and repacked
New fuel pump in gas tank (Bosch lifetime warranty), gas tank removed and cleaned, new fuel filter
New battery (correct group size 24- 3 year free replacement)
New trunk lid supports (gas strut cartridges), new drivers door hinges
New windshield
. . .and I'm sure there are many other things I'm forgetting, but as you can see, I have spared no expense.
In fact, I currently have well over $10,000 invested in this car. Unfortunately, I have other pressing issues right now and I have decided that I'm going to have to part with my baby to help pay the bills. I'm just hoping she will go to someone who will give her a really good home, who will understand what a rare and unique vehicle this is and who will truly appreciate all the love and attention I have given her.
Negatives- I mention all of this only in the interest of full disclosure (because I'm a VERY picky person myself):
The car was repainted by the previous owner. I was given some of the paint used and it's high quality paint in the original color code, but in my opinion the paint job isn't the best possible quality. Whoever did it painted the whole front bumper red, instead of leaving the black stripe across the middle as it was originally. This could be easily redone. Overall, I would call the paint quality fantastic for a daily driver but I wouldn't consider it to be show winning quality.
Also, the top was replaced by the previous owner, and unfortunately it doesn't have the original glass rear window. However, the top and the headliner are still in very good condition.
There are a few little odds and ends in the interior that aren't perfect- the 2 triangular shaped pieces that go on the inside of the side mirrors have fallen off, and need to be reattached or replaced. The shift boot is missing on the shifter (the one that clips to the console), the drivers side floor mat has a hole in it and the rear seats don't latch in the up position very well for some reason, but I always just leave them in the down position anyway.
If you have questions, or if you would like to see it in person, feel free to call me at 828-329-2724.

2015 Toyota Tundra Bass Pro Shops Off-Road Edition a Gulf-State exclusive
Sat, 27 Sep 2014Americans certainly have a fondness for pickup trucks with the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado frequently being among the top sellers each month, and that attachment is famously strong in the Lone Star State. We already saw Chevrolet unveil its Colorado Sport concept at the State Fair of Texas. Not to be outdone, Toyota debuted its new the 2015 Tundra Bass Pro Shops Off-Road Edition there, as well.
All of the Tundras use a 4x4 CrewMax SR5 configuration with the Tow Package, and they all come with Toyota's 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and a six-speed automatic gearbox. What actually sets these vehicles off as the Bass Pro Shops special edition is the 20-inch matte black wheels, tubular side steps, a spray-on bedliner, stainless steel exhaust tips and fender flares. To promote the connection with the store, there are Bass Pro Shops-branded floor mats and company decals on the bed. Of course, pickups are meant to get used, and to make sure of that, buyers also receive a package containing fishing, hunting, camping or marine gear worth about $1,000.
The special edition trucks will only be available in the Gulf States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas beginning this October, and they'll carry a price of $43,975.
Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
Toyota Recalls 1.9 Million Prius Hybrids
Wed, Feb 12 2014TOKYO (AP) - Toyota is recalling 1.9 million hybrid Prius cars globally for a software glitch that could cause the vehicle to stall. Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday that 997,000 Prius cars in Japan, some 713,000 in North America, another 130,000 in Europe and the rest in other regions are being recalled for a problem in the software to control the hybrid system. No accidents or injuries have been reported related to the problem. The software could cause transistors to become damaged, causing warnings lights to go off, driving power to be reduced or the car to stop. The recalled vehicles were manufactured between March 2009 and February 2014. The Japanese automaker suffered massive recalls starting in 2009, affecting more than 14 million vehicles for problems including floor mats, gas pedals and brakes. Affected vehicles include: 2010-2014 Prius vehicles, 2012 Toyota RAV4, 2012-2013 Toyota Tacoma and 2012-2013 Lexus RX 350 vehicles sold in the United States.
