1985 Celica Convertible with extremely low 46,xxx miles.

There were only 4 to 5 thousand of these made ever; a handful in 1984 and the rest in 1985. I only know of one or two other with fewer miles. This is the first 'official' Celica convertible year and also the last year that Celicas had rear wheel drive.

I've had it for about 5 years and have driven it only during the summer, maybe 2,000 miles per year. It runs great and I've loved driving it - I'm just making room for a different vehicle. This is the second one of these I've owned; I really liked the first one but it was really beat up and couldn't pass up getting this one with its low miles.

When I bought it, it had just been restored to working order after many years of sitting and had been retired from the DMV records. It was given a paint job as part of that restoration.

Overall, it's in really nice shape:
- The upholstery is all intact. Rugs also. No cracks in the dash.
- No rust.
- A brand new top and headliner were professionally installed in 2012. The hydraulic system to raise and lower the top works fine.
- The radio is a 5 year old Kenwood with aux / usb in; I kept the original radio / tape desk as well.
- The 3 piece fiberglass parade boot is in nice shape. These are a bit more rare than the car itself.
- I have an extra set of seat belts for it. They were only made for this one year, so when I got the chance to get a backup set I jumped on it.
- Tires are maybe 4 years old but have only been driven on less that 10K miles.
- I put a new muffler and catalytic converter on it when I got it.

On the down side:
- It leaks some motor oil (it does not burn oil at all). My mechanic said just drive it that way. Seems like it's leaking less lately, maybe an old seal is reseating after that long sit? No other leaks.
- There's a couple of dings, none too bad.
- A/C doesn't work. I've never tried to fix it - it's a convertible.
- The mirrors could be painted. The ones that came on it looked good but didn't work mechanically, so I replaced them with working ones. I believe I still have them as well.
- Even with the new top on, it will leak some in moderate rain around the front corners. I've pretty much only driven it in nice weather.
- The automatic radio antenna raises to different levels each time the car is turned on.
- The paint job it last got was fine, but it could have used better prep in a few spots.

That's about it. It's a cool, classic, rare convertible that's lots of fun to drive.

How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota

Thu, 08 May 2014

With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
