1977 Toyota Celica St 5 Speed Ra24 on 2040-cars
Naperville, Illinois, United States
|
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. |

2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport
Tue, 16 Apr 2013"Oh yeah, Toyota still makes the Tacoma." Admit it, that's what you just said to yourself. It's a perfectly natural reaction, but the Tacoma has been quietly anchoring its segment for years, outselling every other compact pickup without making too much of a fuss. Toyota hasn't neglected the Tacoma - it was updated in 2012 with a revised nose and interior as the most noteable changes.
In a world awash with high-value fullsize pickups all vying for your attention, the Tacoma still charms more than a few buyers out of their cash. I hooked a Tacoma for a week to see whether it still has enough to recommend it.
Driving Notes
Toyota Matrix not long for this world?
Thu, 18 Apr 2013According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.
Toyota teases 2014 4Runner, will debut on April 27
Thu, 18 Apr 2013The 2014 Toyota 4Runner appears to be getting a styling refresh that is as out of the ordinary for Toyota as the venue at which it will be debuting. Launching on April 27 at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, CA, the 2014 4Runner looks to be getting more of an in-your-face design. Toyota says this marks the first time it has ever revealed a new product at a music festival.
While we only see two images of the updated 2014 4Runner, the new headlights break from the rectangular shape present on the current model for an edgy, scalloped shape. Below the headlights are vertical air inlets - looking quite similar to the 2014 Subaru Forester XT - but it isn't clear if all models will get these or just special trim levels. The other image Toyota released was of the smoked, LED taillight.
As the presenting sponsor of the music festival, Toyota will have legendary off-road driver Ivan "Ironman" Stewart at the show as well as an off-road driving course for people to drive the automaker's trucks and SUVs. Scroll down for a press release giving some additional information about both the 2014 4Runner and the Stagecoach Music Festival.
