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.

Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

2016 Toyota Camry and Corolla Special Editions hit the floor

Fri, Feb 13 2015

In addition to bringing the refreshed Avalon to the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota has also brought along a duo of limited Special Edition models based on the Camry and Corolla. The company is only building 12,000 examples 2016 Camry Special Edition, which might sound like a lot at first, but it's a pittance compared to the sedan's overall annual sales numbers. The SE models arrive at dealers in August with 18-inch wheels, black highlights, smoked taillights and a choice of Blizzard Pearl or Blue Streak Metallic paint. The interior gets a few more upgrades with a power moonroof, blue seat inserts with black bolsters, push-button start and optional navigation. The updates are similar for the 2016 Corolla Special Edition, which is limited to 8,000 units. Toyota gives it a set gloss black 17-inch wheels and Absolutely Red, Black Sand Pearl or Super White paint. The interior features red stitching for the seats and matching trim on the dashboard and doors. Tech upgrades are limited to push-button start, but navigation and a power moonroof are optional. Check out both the Camry and Corolla Special Edition models in our live image galleries, above and below.
