Up for sale is a 1977 Toyota Celica ST 5-speed.  I hate to sell this car because it is so rare in this condition, but I think it is time to change it up.  This is the cleanest original 1st gen RA24 Celica that you are going to find.  This car was originally from Las Vegas its entire life until a couple of years ago.  This car has never seen a winter and it shows.  There is no rust on this car with the exception of a nickle sized area that is just starting behind the right rear wheel and it can be seen in the pictures.  Most of these have rusted out over the years making them extremely rare.  This particular model has the 2.2L 20R engine mated to a W50 5-speed transmission.  This car is completely original with the exception of an aftermarket header.  I am including the original exhaust manifold with the sale though should you chose to put that on.  The only area that could use some attention is that there is a slight exhaust leak where the header meets the exhaust.  Other then that this car runs and drives just like the day it rolled off the showroom floor.  I have daily driven this car and taken it on road trips.  I would not hesitate taking this on a long journey.  You really get into this car and be transported back in time.  The interior is in great shape with the exception of a few tears in the front seats and a couple of cracks in the dash.  Other than those two items, it is very clean and original.  Everything works on the car including the original radio.  The brakes and tires are all in good shape.  The car was originally yellow and it got painted white at some point in its life.  The paint job is in good shape.  I would call it a 5 footer.  There are just a couple spots with nicks in it.  The underside of this car is just a clean as the top side.  I have worked for many years as a vintage british car restoration specialist and I know the difference between how a tight old car feels and a loose old car feels.  This one feels tight just like new.  The doors close ultra smooth.  I can keep going on and on about this car because of how rare it is to find one like this.  A lot of people say rust free and that changes when you start taking the interior apart.  I can assure you that I have been through this car and it is truly rust free with the exception of that one spot I mentioned and is pictured.  This car turns heads more than any other car I have owned.  Most people do not even know what it is.  Also, if you are interested, after the auction I can include a rare set of period 15x8 Work Ewing iii wheels with brand new tires on them.  That would be for an additional fee.  The wheels that are included in the auction are the steel ones shown on the car.  If you have any questions, just ask.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding.


If you have fewer than 5 feedback or recent bad feedback please e-mail me first.  I have had many problems on here with non-paying bidders.  This is a real auction for a real car.  Only bid if you have the money to pay.

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ

Tue, Sep 30 2014

A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Toyota reveals new versions of FT-1 concept at Pebble Beach [w/video]

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

Toyota certainly caught our attention when it unveiled the FT-1 concept at the Detroit Auto Show last January. Coming from the same people who gave us the Lexus LFA, Scion FR-S and Toyota Supra, the FT-1 concept looked striking in its bright red livery. But the Japanese automaker isn't quite done with it yet.
No, we're afraid we don't have a production announcement to share at the moment, but Toyota has revealed two new versions of the FT-1 concept that cast it in different light. Most notable is the graphite version pictured above. Replacing the bright red paintjob and two-tone red and black interior of the original concept, this second iteration - presented in the metal at McCall's Motorworks Revival in Monterey, California - goes for a more upscale and refined graphite exterior and a tan leather interior with exposed metal elements.
Both versions of the virtually road-going FT-1 concept will be playable in GT6, but at the same time Toyota also revealed (in digital form, at least) a virtual racing version of the concept called the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo. Looking like the original concept was prepared for Japan's Super GT series, the FT-1 Vision GT is retuned for racing, with wider fenders, more extreme aero, competition-spec alloys on slicks and the like.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
