I was in for the last one....so count me in for this one also!!! Have you sold the last yet?

Yes. Sadly I sold it. If I hadn't been for having the opportunity to import this car I would have kept it. Just don't have the garage space.

So as most have heard i decided to part ways with my 75 Celica.

I always had a dream of importing a car from Japan. Wasnt sure if i wanted a KPGC110 or a Celica but for the price a Celica at this time seemed more reasonable. After doing some research i found this 1976 TA28 Celica. It made its way here from Yokata Air Base in Japan to Long Beach California. Then transported to the Importers facility in Texas. After import apparently the engine was not running which really delayed finalizing the purchase so I just kept a watch. The importer covered the cost to have the engine repaired. We finally reached a financial agreement and i had it shipped to me in Tennessee. I admit the car was not as quite pristine as i had hoped. Has one small tear in the drivers seat but otherwise interior in mint. Bottom line though i love the car. Down the road I'll surely restore the body but for now its a driver.

Details:

1976 TA28 Toyota Celica

So here it is! I kept the OEM fender mirrors along with the wheels and tires off of my 75 and transferred them to the new car fyi.





Plans for the car is to DRIVE. No engine mods will be made anytime soon. Keeping it stock and reliable.
