1985 Toyota Celica Gt Coupe, 22re, Very Low Miles, Original Paint, Automatic on 2040-cars
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is my 1985 Celica GT Coupe. I purchased from the original owner years ago. Car is in near perfect condition. As rust free as you will find for a car of this age. Underside of car as clean as the top. Undercoating and factory rust treatment looks like they could have been done yesterday, yet it is the original. Original paint. Interior shows very minimal wear. Working factory options include sunroof, cruise control, air conditioning, power steering and front disc brakes, 22RE engine, 4 speed auto transmission, AM-FM stereo, power mirrors, fuel injection, tilt wheel, tinted glass, split fold down rear seats, floor mats, etc. Original spare, jack and tool kit appear unused.
New tires on recently refinished factory Toyota alloy GTS/Supra wheels. Balance weights installed on inside of wheels for a cleaner look that do not mark the wheel front. I have the original window sticker, warranty book, and owners manual. If the "Buy it Now" option is used I will include the original set of steel wheels, trim rings and center caps, (several caps are "New Old Stock") Factory Toyota Celica service manual, rare original Celica sales brochure, car cover; all in nice condition. When I purchased the car the engine ran great and had perfect compression in all cylinders, but under acceleration seemed to "ping." An experienced certified Toyota mechanic suggested engine disassembly in spite of the low miles. Number 4 piston was found damaged. The engine block was in perfect condition. After carefully cleaning the cylinder walls the engine was rebuilt using quality parts from LCE Engineering. This included 4 new pistons, rings, bearings, wrist pins, fuel injectors, balanced oil and water pumps, fuel filter, distributor, throttle position sensor, plugs, all new gaskets and radiator, etc. The 22RE is known for timing chain guide issues so since the engine was already apart the "single row" timing setup was converted to a "dual row" chain to include replacing the factory plastic guides with upgraded steel ones. A new timing cover was installed to accommodate the dual row setup. All parts from LCE Engineering. No expense spared in this conversion. This is now the smoothest running 22RE I have ever heard. Starts with just a "touch" of the key. It is well tuned and sorted out. Please note that the EGR system was deleted during the rebuild by utilizing quality block off plates from LCE Engineering. Mud guards are old school after market and were installed using existing holes and hardware. All original parts removed from the engine have been retained and go with the car if desired. EGR system could be reinstalled, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that. These are notorious for causing the #4 piston to overheat. I do not have to sell this car, but too many other projects demand my time. Available for inspection prior to auction end. A bid on this car is a commitment to buy. Car is a PA registered antique. Reserve is well below my investment. This car appears to have been garaged all its life. Car is normally stored on my drive-on lift which makes for simple inspection. Ask any questions prior to auction end. Thank you for viewing my auction and check my 100% feedback. |

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Thu, 08 May 2014What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Nissan, Toyota offering payment deferments to people affected by government shutdown
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Two weeks into the budget-related government shutdown and it sounds like some progress is finally being made, but that doesn't really help furloughed government employees pay their bills. To help out a little, Nissan and Toyota are joining Hyundai with offering payment deferments to current owners and lessees.
In a release, a Nissan spokesperson said the company is "sympathetic to any of our customers who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances - many times outside of their control."
Both Japanese automakers are allowing payment extensions of up to 90 days without penalties or fees. Unlike the Hyundai Assurance Plan, though, it doesn't seem like the Nissan or Toyota assistance will be extended to those who are still in the buying process. Scroll down for press releases from both companies about their respective payment deferment programs.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Toyota earn environmental awards
Tue, Nov 10 2015Electric mobility nonprofit Drive Oregon has launched a campaign to invite the electric car industry to perform testing in the state. The campaign tells companies to, "Test Drive the Future in the Living Lab," citing Oregon's density of EV owners and charging infrastructure, varied terrain and climate, funding opportunities, and the state's technological reputation as the "Silicon Forest." Plus, as Drive Oregon Executive Director Jeff Allen, points out, "if you really screw things up here, it doesn't make as much noise as it would in California." Already, Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans for an Innovation Incubator in Oregon. Read more at Green Car Reports. Mazda's new paint system has won the Prime Minister's Award in the category of Manufacturing and Production Process at the 6th Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award ceremony. Mazda's Aqua-tech paint system significantly reduces emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2. The Aqua-tech system uses a water-based color basecoat and a urethane clear coat to reduce VOC emissions by 57 percent. It consolidates the painting process and reduces energy in paint-booth air-conditioning and flash-off processes to reduce energy consumption. It also allows Mazda to create such colors as Soul Red, which looks quite nice on the MX-5 Miata. Read more at Green Car Congress, and learn all about the Aqua-tech paint process from Mazda.
