  • FS: 1974 Toyota Celica GT - The Time Has Come

    Car is gone

    This is a true 1974 Celica GT with 108,000 miles on the original driveline. It is currently my daily driver and runs excellently. There is absolutely not a spot of rust anywhere on the car. The car is 95% complete, as it is only missing a shift boot and rear seat belts. The car has undergone some subtle appearance changes. I bought it in Utah, and drove it 750 miles home to CA without any problems, and more recently, drove it from Temecula to San Francisco and back (980 miles), again, without a single issue. The car got an incredible 41 MPG during the trip.

    The front end has been converted to look like a 71-72 using the longer hood flutes and smaller turn signals. The bumper studs have been shaved, and the bumpers have been rechromed. Front and rear sidemarkers have been shaved as well. The car is currently registered and has a clean CA title.

    The car will come with a ton of parts that I have collected, as well as a partial 20/22R hybrid engine. You will get the rare mid-sump oil pan and pickup, as well as a 20R cylinder head and linkage. It also comes with two 40mm Weber DCOE sidedraft carburetors, which is arguably the best dual-carb setup for this build. Several NOS oil filters, an ignition switch, and rear brake cylinders are also included. I have already registered and paid for a spot at Toyotafest 2011 on May 14th in Long Beach, CA.

    The Celica has been featured on numerous websites, and will have a four-page feature in the next issue of Kyusha-Jin (Classic Car Life) Magazine in Japan.

    Engine: Stock 18R-C with a brand new cylinder head (3k miles on the new head)

    Transmission: W50 5-speed manual

    Brakes: Stock (comes with an extra set of front pads and rear drums.)

    Wheels: Extremely rare set of Advan A3Ds in 13x8 with a -8 offset.

    Tires: Sumitomo 185/60/13

    Suspension: Tokico HTS short stroke AE86 adjustable shocks with shortened front strut housings. Front springs are RA65 Celica Eibach springs and the rears are from a Daihatsu Charade (soft and short).

    Interior: Stock appearance black leather with original Celica emblems stitched on the back of the headrests, black dashboard with NO cracks. All gauges and lights work. Air conditioning and heater work perfectly.

    Other Parts:

    NOS adjustable fender mirrors
    Pioneer CD/AUX headunit installed in the glovebox, along with two pioneer 4x6 speakers in the rear parcel shelf (stock location and appearance).
    Yellow Mercedes fog lights
    Fiberglass front lip
    Fiberglass rear spoiler
    Stock 1980 Celica muffler with all new piping and hangers(very quiet)

    The only flaw I have noticed is that there is some body filler on the right rear fender, that has developed a small crack (about 2 inches) since being painted. Other than that, the body is in excellent shape.

    Please do not hesitate to PM me with questions, or if you'd like more photos. International shipping available, buyer responsible for all additional costs.

    Price: $9500 OBO. No trades.
