1992 Toyota Celica GT-S with 26,000 original miles.
Original Owner
Mint leather interior
Paint still looks near new. There are some chips and dings that need to be fixed. I'm guessing around $1,000 to $1,500 to fix all. With that, the interior and exterior of the car would easily be in show quality condition.
Runs like brand new. Engine would need detailing to be show quality, but is 100% original except the battery. See pics. Even the radiator hoses and hose clamps are original with the factory inspection marks still on them.
Power sunroof, windows, locks, mirrors & seats
Premium stereo
Original paperwork and two original Toyota keys.
Interior needs nothing. As close to mint new condition as possible for a used car.
Never wrecked. Never so much as had a scratch repaired - 100% original paint.
Tires replaced due to dry rot and in excellent condition.
Garaged or covered for 95% of its life
Brand new battery & just fully detailed
Owned by older woman who was my mother and the original owner. She bought it when she was 62 and passed away a year ago at age 84. From day one, this was a second car for her that was driven weekly to bi weekly to run local errands. The car has almost certainly never seen anything above 55-60 mph. Doubtful the engine has ever revved beyond 3K rpm. Very well maintained as well with regular fluid changes. Not much else was required due to the low miles.
I don't know much about these cars, but when she bought it, the salesperson told her it had every option. I have the original window sticker and will post it later.

I would be surprised if there was a nicer, lower mileage 92 Celica that existed, much less one that was fully optioned and with a such a beautiful color combination.

My Mom loved this car and despite many, many offers, refused to sell it. You will never find another 20 year old plus Celica like this again.

I am happy to answer any questions that you have about the car. Will provide my cell phone number for serious buyer.

Toyota asking NHTSA for fuel cell car safety exemption regarding electric shocks

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Toyota is requesting an exemption from federal safety regulations that govern electric cars as it prepares to launch a small-scale hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet.
The Japanese automaker is targeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 305, which covers the packaging of high-voltage parts in electric cars. According to Uncle Sam, these systems need to be isolated so that passengers and first responders aren't electrocuted in the event of a crash. That seems pretty smart, but it's become a problem for Toyota's upcoming production fuel cell vehicle, as the mechanism that prevents electric shocks in low-speed crashes will apparently simply keep Toyota's car from even functioning.
Instead of the federally approved system, Bloomberg reports that Toyota plans to insulate the high-voltage wires and cables in the car, along with shielding electrical components like the fuel cells, electric motor and batteries with (presumably non-conductive) metal barriers.

New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%

Wed, 21 May 2014

Toyota may have an ace up its sleeve in the fuel economy wars, as it's developed a new type of semiconductor that will allegedly help the company's hybrids net a ten-percent improvement in fuel economy.
The tech is still in development, although Toyota is already reporting five-percent gains during testing, six years before it plans to implement the new semiconductor in production vehicles, meaning the ten-percent improvement doesn't seem like an untenable goal. That is, until you hear from Kimimori Hamada, the project general manager of Toyota's electronics division.
"We are aiming for great improvement in fuel economy and miniaturization," Hamada told Automotive News. "This is a very challenging target."
