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. |

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]
Tue, 08 Jan 2013While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.
Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan
Sat, 12 May 2012Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.
