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. |

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.

Toyota launches new Passo hatchback in Japan [w/video]
Fri, 18 Apr 2014With considerable manufacturing capacity here in the United States and even a NASCAR program, it'd be all too easy to categorize Toyota as an American automaker. Only it's not. It's Japanese, of course. And back in the Japanese Domestic Market, it offers a whole range of models we'll never see in North America. Models like the Crown sedan, Noah minivan and this, the new Passo hatchback.
Sold in various markets as the Daihatsu Boon, Daihatsu Sirion, Perodua Myvi and (for a time) the Subaru Justy, the Toyota Passo is a compact hatchback that slots in size-wise between the Yaris sold in America and the Aygo offered in Europe (except the Passo is taller than either).
Power comes from a 1.0-liter engine with 69 horsepower that can be had in front- or all-wheel drive, or a 1.3 driving 95 horses to the front wheels alone. A continuously variable transmission is on duty regardless of engine choice. Front-drive models get a stop/start system, but even all-wheel-drive versions are eligible for government tax credits. That's because, though the new Passo only appears to be mildly updated, the engines have been thoroughly reworked to deliver 30-percent better fuel economy than the previous model, coming in 20-percent better than the standards being enacted by the Japanese government for next year.
