1975 Toyota Celica GT Notchback, It comes equipped with the original 5 speed manual transmission and newer Toyota 20r engine. The chassis has 46,141 miles on it, but that may increase slightly as I do drive the car occasionally. The engine is not the original unit, but according to the previous owner it was installed with only 10,000 or so miles. I cannot, unfortunately verify that. The interior has been redone, again by the previous owner, in a white/beige leather combo that looks rather nice combined with the non-original metallic blue paint. The Celica is equipped with air conditioning, which has been recently filled and runs very cold. As you can tell, it is not entirely original. Here is a list of modifications and upgrades that differentiate it from a vanilla Celica GT: - Wheels from a 2nd Generation Celica Supra. The rubber still has a great deal of life left in it. No wear spots. - An aftermarket stereo system, with a stealthed radio occupying the space where the original unit once was. It has two speakers under the dash, on passenger and driver sides (thankfully the door cards were not cut), two on the back package tray, a rather large subwoofer in the trunk, and a decent amplifier. It works well enough, and has an input for an mp3 player. Unfortunately the antennae is disconnected, so radio reception isn't the best. - A rear window louver. This may be a matter of taste. I'm personally rather fond of the funky 70's charm, and it doesn't inhibit the rear view at all. Though it is a bit worn and the paint may be flaking off. - JDM spec fender mirrors. One of the most unique features of the car, not original for the U.S. market. Again, just part of the charm. They work rather well, although adjustments may require two people. - A front chin spoiler, body color. Made of fiberglass (?), and matching ducktail spoiler. - Yellow high-beams and added fog lights, with interior switch. - Full Flowmaster exhaust with Summit catalytic converter. - K&N air filter to match with Aisan carburetor. - A locking gas cap. Most of these changes were made to suit the taste of the previous owner, except the K&N air filter, and the yellow high-beams. It may not be in everyone's taste (understatement), but keep in mind that any or all of these things could be changed. Now for the bad. As with most vintage cars in driver condition, there are some issues. Luckily, they are almost all cosmetic. - The most apparent issue will be the rust. Considering the reputation that this vintage of Japanese cars has for rusting, it is in surprisingly good shape. There is only one hole, and that is in the passenger's front wheel well. It is about 2 inches across, and certainly not structural. The otherwise lovely paint is marred by a number of bubbles, some in groups. None of them compromise the body shell, and are probably the result of pinhole rust covered by a less than perfect paint application. On the underside of the driver and passenger door sills, there are some small rust holes. - The headers are rusted. There are no holes in them, but they don't look so good compared to the newer engine and exhaust. Consider replacing. - There is a small chip in the windshield, passenger side. It hasn't gone all the way through the glass, nor has it splintered outward. - There is a dent in the rear bumper. - The rear spoiler has some paint issues on the trailing edge. - The driver's seat belt is frayed, but functional. - When the interior was redone, whoever did the work screwed up the leather on the driver's side b-pillar. It's not discolored, but a bit misshapen. Here is a list of things that were repaired since purchase: - A new alternator was installed, as the old unit died. Driving without headlights at night is an experience I hope to never have again. - The tubing leading from the radiator to the engine had a leak. Subsequently replace all tubing. - A new oil filter was installed. As you can see, most of the work this car would need is cosmetic. It is entirely mechanically sound. The engine pulls hard through the gears (be prepared for the 5100 rpm redline), it shifts smoothly, and in fifth gear cruises nicely at 75 mph. Despite the relatively low 110 horsepower, its light weight and tall fifth gear give it a top speed of 105. It may be an old car, but it has the resources to be a comfortable and fun daily driver. Slow cars driven quickly are a blast. Transportation must be arranged prior to purchase. I am willing to drive a few hours if need be, but I would rather it be picked up and delivered rather than drive cross-country. The price is negotiable, but I will walk away if I we cannot agree on a decent price. I am available on most days, and will send more pictures on request. |

America was the unexpected theme at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show thanks to Trump
Wed, Jan 11 2017President-elect Donald Trump was not in attendance at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but it sure seemed like he was the target audience for many of the press conferences and announcements surrounding the event. Several manufacturers chose to play up existing and future commitments to the US in general and American jobs specifically in their presentations to the press, and we're pretty sure that has everything to do with Trump's recent targeting of automakers on Twitter. To us, it seemed automakers were going on the offensive to try and preempt any future tweet-shaming for investing in auto manufacturing anywhere but the US. The pro-America sentiment started the week prior to the auto show, with Ford announcing that it would build several future electrified vehicles at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan and also cancel a $1.6 billion factory planned for Mexico. Ford announced the two items on the same day, but the reality is that they likely have no relation to each other; the Mexican plant is being skipped because the company doesn't need the extra capacity to build the Ford Focus right now. Trump was still happy to share the news on Twitter. Then, on Sunday, FCA announced it would invest $1 billion in manufacturing plants in Ohio and Michigan to produce the new Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Wrangler-based pickup. It's not as though those potential new jobs were on their way out of the US, necessarily, but FCA took the opportunity to mention that plant upgrades at the Warren Truck Plant would allow the company to build Ram heavy duty trucks, which are currently assembled in Mexico, there. CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that Trump and his proposed tariffs had nothing to do with the decision. We certainly believe that, but we also have to believe that the timing of the release, positive outcome for America, and zero gain for Mexico were all orchestrated. Again, Trump sent out a victory tweet as if this had been his doing. Ford then used its press conference at the show on Monday to reiterate the plans for Flat Rock and also confirm that the Ford Bronco and Ranger nameplates will be returning to the US market, and that both will be built at a plant in Michigan. Announcements of manufacturing locations are usually aimed at the UAW, which certainly has a stake in these things, but again this one was broadcast to the auto show crowd in general.
Camry, Avalon Hybrids involved in stop-sale of 50,000 Toyota vehicles
Thu, Jan 30 2014A number of popular Toyota vehicles can currently not be sold thanks to something called a "stop-sale" order. The reason is that the seat heater on these vehicles - which include the 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Sienna, Corolla, Tacoma and Tundra models - "does not meet a provision of US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requiring materials to retard flame at a specified rate." In other words, the seat heater could burn too fast. There have been no reports of fires or injuries due to the issue. Toyota told AutoblogGreen that around 50,000 vehicles are affected. No Scion or Lexus vehicles have the problem. The exact fix has not been identified, but Toyota said it is preparing a modification for all vehicles still on dealer lots, but there has not yet been an official recall. Instead, Toyota filed a "Non-Compliance Information Report" with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today. You can read Toyota's official statement below. Toyota and NHTSA are also looking at around 30,000 2007-2008 model year Camry Hybrids for brake issues. Seat Heater Non-Compliance Issue Creates Temporary Stop Sale On Certain Toyota Models January 30, 2014 Toyota has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it has initiated a stop sale of certain Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, Sienna, Tacoma and Tundra vehicles equipped with seat heaters in order to address a non-compliance issue. In involved vehicles, the seat heater, which is a small portion of the soft materials of the seat assembly, does not meet a provision of U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requiring materials to retard flame at a specified rate. Toyota is preparing a modification for this condition, which will be implemented on all covered vehicles in dealer inventory. There have been no reports globally of any related incidents in the field with units in operation. Per NHTSA regulations, Toyota will file a Non-Compliance Information Report today.

2015 Toyota Prius Persona special edition arrives in September
Fri, Aug 1 2014Is the Prius going into "Pimp My Ride" territory? A new official special edition model won't be lowered or have three-wheel motion or anything like that (though that'd be cool), but the world's best-selling hybrid is putting on a few stylish bells and whistles this September. Toyota has announced something called the 2015 Prius Persona Series Special Edition. Included on the special variant will be 17-inch alloy wheels, a metallic exterior finish, heated power mirrors and chrome shift knob rings and door grips. Inside, you've got special badging and black SofTex fabric stitched with gray. The new Prius Persona will come in two colors: "Blizzard Pearl" and "Absolutely Red." The special edition has base price of $26,985, and the "Blizzard Pearl" option knocks it closer to the $27,400 mark and there's also the $895 (give or take) delivery fee. Demand for the Prius in the US has plateaued recently as other automakers have broadened their selection of advanced-powertrain vehicles. Through the first half of the year, combined sales of the four Prius variants were down 11 percent from 2013 numbers to about 107,000 units, including about 63,000 of the standard sedans and almost 20,300 of the Prius C compact hybrids. Perhaps there are enough personas out there that sales will get a boost from this special edition. Take a look at Toyota's press release on the 2015 Prius Persona below. SPECIAL EDITION PRIUS TAKES ON A NEW PERSONA FOR 2015 TORRANCE, Calif. (July 30, 2014) – The best-selling hybrid in America is taking style to a new level. The 2015 Prius Persona Series Special Edition is tailored with elegant exterior and interior touches that make it unique. The special edition model will begin arriving in dealerships in September. The Prius Persona Series Special Edition model adds exterior changes and equipment to a Prius Three to create a distinct visual package. Persona Series includes 17-inch alloy wheels with a premium dark metallic finish. The special edition also comes equipped with premium heated power mirrors with turn signal indicators. The Persona model will be available in two exterior colors, Blizzard Pearl, and for the first time ever on this model, Absolutely Red. A "Persona Series" exterior badge on the rear of the vehicle also helps differentiate the model. The Persona's interior is trimmed in black SofTex® with gray stitching.
