Ra22 1975 Celica, Restored Body, Full Suspension, Fender Mirrors, New Oem All on 2040-cars
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
RARE.....RARE....RARE...Chance to own this one of a kind 1st Generation Toyota Celica RA22.
Up for sale is my much loved 1975 Toyota Celica. This car is truly one of a kind. It's is the rare 1975 model which has the earlier short nose body style with the larger engine found in the later long body style. Was only produced in the 1975 and what makes it even rarer is the fact is was a factory AC car and was even a Manual Transmission. Car has only 68k original miles. This car has undergone a full body restoration. The body prior to restoration was very mint and has never been in an accident so need to worry about patched panels, rust, or filler. Body has been painted Toyota Super White II. The engine bay, firewall, door mirrors, door sill trim, and rocker moldings have been fully shaved. The body of this car is flawless!!! Spare tire well has also been shaved and frame supports added from rail to rail on the underbody for chassis strengthening. Late model Celica seats have been mounted in the car. Studs were welded into the floor so late model Celica racing seat brackets can be used also if you want to add some old school recaros, etc. Just bolt up and go. There is no engine or transmission. This leaves limitless options for the purchaser to take the completion in any direction they wish. Whether it be a factory inexpensive 20R or a high dollar Corvette LS or Supra 2JZ swap. MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!! Your engine choice could require modifications to the chassis though. Don't expect a bolt up swap. Tunnel / Firewall modifications, welding on mounts to the crossmember, etc could be expected. The stock Heater box / Fan AC Blower and all dash panels, controls, and gauges I do have and will come with the car. They are all in perfect working condition. I also have a new RA21 vent blower panel that attaches to the box and under the dash which has AC controls and two vents. Looks great! Brake lines need to be ran. Fuel lines need to be ran. Wiring installed. Front and rear RA21 Smooth bumpers included. Great condition but they do have a few dings. Other than that the car is complete and assembled for transport. I can put all of the extras inside the car if you wish to ship. Full modification and parts list is as follows: Toyota Super White II Paint Shaved Engine Bay Shaved and coated trunk floor Rear frame rail under brace Shaved door mirrors Shaved rocker moldings New OEM Toyota Fender mirrors ***SUPER RARE*** New OEM Toyota Front Windshield Weatherstrip New OEM Toyota Rear Windshield Weatherstrip New OEM Lower Door Weatherstrip New OEM Upper Door Weatherstrip New OEM Interior Window molding New OEM Quarter Window Weatherstrip New OEM Hood Weatherstrip New OEM Trunk Weatherstrip New OEM Window Clips New OEM Windshield Chrome Trim New OEM Celica Script Side Emblems New OEM Red and White Side Emblems New OEM Hood Latch Cable and Spring New OEM Hood Rest upper and Lower rubbers New OEM Hood, Fender, Trunk hardware New OEM Door Bumpers New OEM Clear Corner Lenses New OEM Headliner New TRD Replica Front Spoiler New Techno Toy Tuning Coil overs New Techno Toy Tuning Camber Plates New Techno Toy Tuning Control Arms New Techno Toy Tuning RCAs New Techno Toy Tuning Tension Rods New Techno Toy Tuning Rear 4 Links New Techno Toy Tuning Panhard / Lateral Bar AE86 Rack and Pinion Conversion New Megan Racing Inner Tie Rods New Megan Racing Outer Tie Rods New OEM Steering Boots New Custom Universal Engine Cradle with Rack Mounts New Custom Aluminum Griffin Radiator Custom Steering Column Conversion for Rack and Pinion New Engine Cradle Hardware OEM 71-72 Chrome Smiley Front and Rear Bumpers New 16x8 +10 Hyper Black Wheels New BFGoodrich KDW 225-45-16 Tires New Wilwood 4 piston Big Brake Kit New Wilwood Reverse Mount Pedal Box New Wilwood Dual Brake Master Cylinders New Wilwood Clutch Master Cylinder ...its possible Im missing a few items also. 2 Totes full of spare parts included. I purchase a parts car a few years ago so spare front and rear parts are all included. The factory rear end in still installed and in perfect condition with a working e-brake but Im including a Ford 8.8 Housing if you wish to set it up for the car with a high horsepower goal. Comes with a Ford Racing Trak Lok, Ford Racing 3.73 Ring and Pinion, and 93 cobra rear brakes. HUGE SAVINGS HERE!!! Original Fuel tank included (cleaned and ready to be reinstalled) All original wiring. EVERYTHING Anything and everything else I have related to the car I haven't listed will be included. If you have been searching for a vintage Toyota dream car this is the one for you. No need to spend months or years tracking down rare or non existing parts and spending thousands upon thousands of dollars. I've done all that hard work and it's all included. ******For those that hesitate because of price, there is way over $20k in this car. This was no Maaco paint job. All dings were removed by hand, no filler. The added in rear roll pan was all hand rolled and welded in. PPG paint. Hard clear in the engine bay so no yellowing will occur due to heat either. Not a corner was cut here. The quality is second to none. The starting bid is set accordingly but you for sure will get more than you pay for and this car will not depreciate like most.****** Serious
bidders only. Full payment is due within seven days of the auction end. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the vehicle at sales@the75celica.com or through eBay. |

Cosworth announces Power Packages for Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S with up to 380 hp [w/video]
Sat, 31 May 2014Cosworth stands on the list of the most famous engine tuners in the world with its DFV engine engine dominating Formula One for a time in the '70s. So when it teases plans to take on the FA20 engine from Subaru and Toyota found in the BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 abroad, our interest is indeed piqued. Cosworth is promising to take the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine from its current 200 horsepower all the way to 325 hp and even 380 hp in a future track version through a series of staged Power Packages. At the moment, only the first stage is available that takes the mill to a potent 230 hp.
Cosworth says that its new strategy is to offer its upgrades in kits rather than individually so that it can be sure that everything works and fits when owners receive it. The Stage 1 Power Package emphasizes helping the FA20 breathe better and includes a nearly complete replacement for the stock exhaust system. There is a sports exhaust with four-inch, diagonally cut, polished tips and Y-shaped muffler, an overpipe front pipe with a spherical resonator and a new manifold header that is 22 percent lighter the standard unit. In addition to that, the kit comes with a software reflash, low temperature thermostat, Cosworth badge and plaque.
The stage one kit is available now, and stages two and three go on sale later this summer, according to its website. Autoblog contacted Cosworth for pricing information for the kits. We will update this story, if we hear back. The company also released a video showing off the exhaust upgrades. Scroll down to watch it and read the full release, below.
Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters
Tue, 29 Oct 2013When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Toyota to end Australian production by 2017
Mon, 10 Feb 2014There is more bad news for the Australian auto industry today, as Toyota has just announced that it will follow General Motors and Ford in shuttering its manufacturing operations on the continent. Production and assembly will cease by the end of 2017, but Toyota will remain in Australia as a sales and distribution company.
"We did everything that we could to transform our business, but the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Max Yasuda.
In an official statement, Yasuda said that the closure would directly affect 2,500 manufacturing employees and an unknown number of corporate workers. However, a report in the Australian newspaper The Age suggests that the jobs of 24,000 workers at Australian auto suppliers could also be in jeopardy. Toyota currently builds its Camry, Camry Hybrid, Aurion sedans in Australia, along with four-cylinder engines, and it plans to begin importing the Camry and Aurion after production stops.
