Over 100 additional photos at the links below. For sale is a restored 1974 Toyota Celica. I have spent the last 10 years owning, loving and restoring this car to the condition you see it in now. I first purchaced this car from a lady in Carlsbad, Ca around the first part of 2003. It was a rather sad looking pea green with a black vinyl top, an 18R-C engine and an automatic transmission. Through all the paperwork I was supplied I have concluded I am roughly the 5th owner and the second longest owner of all. The car spent the majority of its early life in the temperate climate of Washington state. It was sold new at what is now Buzz Rowland Toyota in Everett, WA. The salesman was Burt Applegate. I have the original sales book with his information as well as numerous recipts from the cars various owners over the last 40 years. I also have nearly all the recipts and logs from my ownership as well. Drivetrain: The engine is the very sought after 18RG 2.0ltr twin cam variety with the factory dual 40 mm Mikuni/Solex Carburetors. This car was sold new in the US with the 18R-C single cam version. This engine is the correct Japanese spec engine this car was designed to have. The engine is equipped with an MSD 6A multi spark box as well as electronic distributor and Blaster 2 coil. In addition the Toysport/TRD headers have been installed and ceramic coated. The top end of the engine was just serviced with headgasket and valve adjustment about 3 months ago as well as a mild port match and port smoothing. Engine starts and runs very strong. Behind the powerful 18RG sits the robust W50 5spd transmission. All synchros and internals feel to be in excellent shape with nice clean shifts. The clutch, plate and throw out bearings are new since restoration. New: -Water pump -Headgasket,head surfaced Cyl Head performance gasket matched and int/exh runners smoothed -Front/Rear main seals -Spark Plugs -Spark plug wires -Alternator -Cooling switch -Cooling Fan -Headers -Exhaust system -Top end gaskets, intake, exhaust etc. -Thermostat -Radiator recored -Clutch assembly,plate, bearing,disk -Slave cyl -Master break cyl -Rear wheel cylinders -Stainless break lines -Front calipers -Front wheel bearings -Starter Exterior: We started with a remarkably rust free car to begin with. What little rust could be found was expertly removed and then clean matching metal was welded in place. This is a completely restored rust free chassis and undercarriage.The exterior has had it's front and rear sidemarkers shaved as well as the side moulding and side badging. All new weather stripping has been installed. Many hours of body work were poured in along with thousands of dollars to achieve the beautiful lines you see here. Finally the 2001 Mercedes Benz "Bahama Blue" paint was laid in June 2012. The wheels are Konig Rewind 15" wrapped in Kumho 195/50 tires and are also new additions to the restoration. Interior: The interior has been completely gone through. We have installed brand new upholstery on the front and rear seats, the 2 cracks in the dash pad have been addressed by installing the proper dash cap. The center console assemble has been restored. New carpet installed as well as period correct sewn headliner. One of the finer points on the car are it's rare and pristine rear interior C-pillar covers which are always destroyed on cars of this vintage. The rear deck was rebuilt and for a custom touch has had the two stars from the Celica Dragon's wings embossed into the vinyl, in addition two full range kicker speakers are installed that match the speakers in the front door panels. The Kicker speakers are powered by an Alpine amplifier in the trunk and signal is provided by a JVC media unit with Hands free calling and bluetooth connectivity. There really is simply too much too list in this limited forum. If you are at all familiar with Celicas of this vintage, the truest of the 1st generation you are quite aware of the level of difficulty in finding a good specimen for restoration, harder still is finding one that has this level of attention paid to it. One item of particular pride albeit a mundane item is it's heater valve. This car has had one of only a handful of truly new heater valves installed available in the world, great thing if you'd like a llittle heat in the colder times of year. I have loved and will continue to love this car even after it's found it's new home. I am readyto move on to other projects and let another individual enjoy what I've spent so long building. If you have any questions, if you have ny reservations about this vehicle I invite you to contact me and I am happy to speak with you at length. The car is available for sale locally and is available for viewing, testing and inspection by apointment. Nearly 100 additional pictures can be viewed at: www.focalcraft.com/personal/celica Photos of the build here: www.focalcraft.com/personal/celicabuild Vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early if sold elsewhere. Things of note the new owner may wish to address: Car could use a new set of shocks and struts. Door window regulators could use a good greasing. There is a minor oil leak from around the fuel pump housing, could use a gasket. Drivers front wheel got a bit of curb rash accidentally, should be seen in pictures by following the above link. The rear windows are off track, will need adjustment to properly roll up and down, this is why the cranks are off, cranks are included in sale. Please feel free to message me for my phone number to talk about the car if you like. |

Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.
Toyota restructuring US operations, possibly moving to Texas
Sun, 27 Apr 2014According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Toyota is poised to announce Monday that it is restructuring its US operations, which may include plans to relocate some of its operations to Texas. Toyota Motor Sales has been located in California since 1957, and is responsible for North American sales, marketing, and distribution for Toyota, Lexus and Scion. According to Toyota literature, its Torrance operations presently employs 6,156 workers and represents a $2.3-billion investment.
Workers in Toyota's Torrance offices were abuzz about the possible relocation to Texas. One young offspring of a Toyota employee even posted to Twitter that her parents warned about the upcoming move, and she said she's refusing to go.
Rumors at one point had Toyota settling in Richardson, TX, just outside Plano. But Autoblog talked to Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka, who said she would be thrilled if that were true, but has not heard anything on the subject. Autoblog also emailed with Bill Sutherland, a city councilman in Torrance, CA, who said, "To date the only info I have is what I have read in the paper expecting a press release Monday."
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
