81 Toyota Rare Convertible Restomod 2dr Rwd 5spd 22r on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
DescriptionBought from neighbor 10 yrs ago, who bought it new from the dealership; always a Dallas car. Garage-kept, but I’m moving and downsizing, so garage is gone. “The Toy” must go too. Great for high schooler or college kid. Attention getter, conversation starter, chick magnet. Antique plates—exempt from TX emissions inspection. Collectible: NADA book value (“average retail” $4,425) rose twice during the past half year after being flat for 10 years. One of 900 converted by American Custom Coachworks in Beverly Hills, CA. Read history at http://howards.hubpages.com/hub/1981-Celica-Convertible The basics: Celica, 2-dr, 2+2, 4-cyl 22R, 2-bbl carb, pwr steering, pwr brakes, frt disc brakes, 5-spd manual, RWD, live axle, compact spare, documentation. Conversion from new coupe to convertible w/ added frame stiffening. Upgrades: Adjustable brake proportioning valve, braided stainless steel brake hoses, Addco sway bar, dead pedal, Kenwood stereo. Removed: CA smog controls, A/C, w/s washer. Mild customizing: Supra alloy rims, Recaro Supra seats (10-way driver w/ lumbar & 8-way pax), custom console, blacked-out chrome, deleted trim and emblems, front parking lights converted to Euro-look turn signals. The good: Refurbished, repainted, reupholstered. Everything works—no rattles. Fresh: head job, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs & wires, radiator cored. Recent: battery, 5k mi on wide Bridgestone tires, master cylinder, belts, idler bearing, shifter bushings, end links, tie rod ends, pitman arm, U-joint, upholstery, top. The bad: All convertibles leak in heavy rain (on the other hand, the windshield alone deflects a light sprinkle above 60 mph). Oil drip since last oil change (estimate 1 hr labor). Exhaust manifold gasket leak (estimate 3 hr labor)—just affects the sound. No A/C—it’s a convertible, duh!

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
Fuel cells will flop outside Japan, says VW
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
"It may fly within Japan, but not globally," VW's Shoji said.
It's long been battered into our beleaguered auto writer brains that the ultimate future source of motivation for tomorrow's cars and trucks is not gasoline, diesel, electricity, natural gas, propane or solar power - it's the hydrogen fuel cell. It's been the Next Big Thing since the start of Next Big Things.
Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius
Sun, 07 Jul 2013Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.
