Please have feedback before buying, SERIOUS buyers only.  Will ship if buyer sets it up.  Payment must be made in full before I ship though. 

I am only selling due to needing a newer 4 door car.  I am not making money on this (With purchase price and things I've bought for it)  Which I am including.


 1977 celica fastback, copper brown, 5 speed, 96k original miles with window Louvers.

This is an original ARIZONA CAR but I bought this from a gentleman in Wisconsin who kept it in a temp controlled storage unit during the salty winters (He owned it for only 3 years). I drove over 600 miles there and 600 miles back (In the car). Did just fine. I looked for over 3 years before I found one I wanted....Now I realize I just need something newer. After several car shows I have to say goodbye.

The car is mostly all original except for paint.

I always get a compliment no matter where I go. Also lots of attention at the car shows.

The car has had the following done to it (and more that I can't remember).

Newer tires
New fuel pump
New rear wheel bearings
carb redone
new valve cover seals
new carpet (Not installed)
New window seals

and much more

I am including a BRAND NEW weber 32/36 carb (Paid 300$ for it alone) Still in brand new redline box.

The car will need the following:

Drivers seat recovered (Passenger seat is nice)
Center console bezel is cracked
and A pillars are a little crackly
Small spot on door interior
The front brakes are squeaking so they will need done soon (just normal maintenance)

The dash and rest of the interior is nice.  It's an import from 1977, it's in good shape for being this age and probably one of the best you'll find.

Exterior is rust free, underneath is rust free and you're welcome to check it out. No leaks of any kind from what I've seen. Which is almost unheard of with any old car. Has a fresher oil change (About a month old).

The paint could use something done to it, the guy who did it before did a decent job BUT looks like there was dirt in the primer and he just painted over and left lots of small bumps/ruff areas on the roof and drivers side.

Under the hood is stock other than I took a day to polish the stock valve cover. Will look really good once the weber is installed.


Asking 7,900 FIRM cash, cash is king and I'm not dying to sell it. I may die IF I sell it though..... These cars are only going up in value.

Toyota Avalon celebrates 20 years with Touring Sport Edition

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Toyota Avalon may not have the sportiest image on the market. Heck, it doesn't even have the sportiest image in the Toyota lineup. But the Japanese automaker is out to fix that perception, at least a little bit, with the launch of the new Touring Sport Edition.
Announced together with some minor updates to the entire Avalon line - consisting primarily of enhanced safety and infotainment systems - the Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of Toyota's large sedan line. Setting this special edition apart are a black paintjob, HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloys (similar in design to those on the Scion FR-S) and an interior decked out with perforated leather with dark blue trim... plus, of course, the requisite special badges inside and out.
Only 2,500 units will be offered with a $37,170 sticker price that puts it near (if not quite at) the top of the Avalon range that's capped by the $41,700 Avalon Hybrid Limited. Pricing has increased on most models by around two percent, and you can scope out all the details of the updates to the full range in the press releases below.

Next Toyota Prius coming in 60-mpg 'Eco Grade' version?

Tue, Sep 23 2014

There's some mystery surrounding the fuel economy level of the next-generation Toyota Prius. The closest we've had to an official number is 55 miles per gallon, which was hinted at by Toyota Motor Corporation's managing officer, Satoshi Ogiso, last year. That number wasn't an official target, but the company even provided a graphic (above) showing how each next generation Prius beat the previous one by four or five mpg. Since the current, third-gen model gets 50, well, we have been left to guess that 55 is the next logical target. But, according to a new report in Automotive News, the new, fourth-generation Prius that's due next year will come in two versions, with one having a bigger ego – sorry, eco – than the other. AN says that the model will arrive with a standard nickel-metal hydride battery pack in a version that gets "about 55 mpg" and then a new "eco grade" version with a li-ion battery that "will be rated at more than 60 mpg." AN says this information came from company executives who were speaking at an August meeting with Toyota dealers. Our sources within Toyota say that they haven't heard anything about two high-efficiency models, so we'll take this with the requisite grain of salt. The current version of the Prius Plug-In Hybrid does use lithium-ion batteries, but this is the non-plug model the dealers are talking about. We think. The dual-battery strategy is certainly a rumor we've heard before. We had thought that the li-ion pack would be for an extended EV range (the current Prius has a barely noticeable EV-only range), but such a pack would be lighter and could boost efficiency, too. In other words, we look forward to hearing more during the upcoming auto show season.

Toyota announces Geneva plans including droptop FT-86 Open concept

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Automakers from around the globe are gearing up for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and Toyota is giving us a couple teasers of what will be in its display. In addition to what appears to be a single-seat concept called the i-Road (shown at right), Toyota will also give us our first look at a droptop Scion FR-S courtesy of the FT-86 Open Concept.
All we have to go on right now is this sketch shown above, but we do see that this car will retain its rear seats, which could be a potential advantage over one of its key rivals, the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Toyota says that this concept will be used to gauge public interest in such a convertible, but we've already heard that a Scion convertible is already planned to go on sale as soon as early next year. As far as Toyota's other concept, there also isn't much information about the i-Road except that it will be a zero-emissions vehicle and it will have seating for two passengers, which based on the drawing will have the driver sitting in front of the passenger.
Toyota will also show off the European version of the new RAV4 as well as its new Auris Touring Sports, which it refers to as a "medium-size estate." Scroll down for Toyota's tease of a press release.
