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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota battery breakthrough, PSA's millionth BlueHDi diesel
Fri, May 6 2016Scientists at Toyota have developed battery technology that allows for higher energy density. Using material from hydrogen storage, researchers at the Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) in beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan have created an electrolyte that works well with a magnesium metal anode. Besides improving energy density for smaller, more powerful batteries, magnesium is also more stable than lithium, making it a safer alternative. Rather than guarding their secret, Toyota is sharing details of this breakthrough in order to advance the technology in hopes of an earlier mass deployment of magnesium batteries. See the video above, and read more in the press release below. Farmdrop – a sort of online farmer's market in the UK – is looking for help naming its electric delivery "vanimals." The Nissan e-NV200 vans are painted and decorated to look like cows, pigs, and chickens. While three of the vans have already been named, fans can suggest their own clever ideas for the rest of the fleet on social media. Those whose names are selected will win a month's worth of shopping on Farmdrop. Cary McCarface, anyone? Read more at the company's website. PSA has built its millionth Euro 6 BlueHDi diesel engine. The automaker builds two diesel engines – a 1.6-liter and a 2.0-liter – at its plant in Tremery, France at a rate of 7,000 engines a day. BlueHDi technology uses three different emissions control mechanisms to filter pollutants out of diesel exhaust, including an oxygen catalyst, an additive filter to remove particulate matter, and a Selective Catalytic Reduction system to reduce NOx. BlueHDi is used in all new Peugeot, Citroen, and DS Euro 6 diesel vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Charging Ahead Toyota Scientists Make Breakthrough on Safer, Smarter Batteries May 04, 2016 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (May 4, 2016) -- For anyone (i.e. everyone) who's ever panicked when their mobile device chirped, "low battery," the future could be far less stressful, thanks to the advanced battery research of scientists at the Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA). A new breakthrough involving magnesium batteries may soon open the doors for smaller, longer-lasting batteries for everything from cars to cell phones. What's the Big Deal with Magnesium? Magnesium metal has long been theorized as a much safer and more energy-dense alternative to current lithium battery technology.
Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.
Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'
Sat, 05 Oct 2013Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.
