1977 Toyota Celica St 5 Speed Ra24 on 2040-cars
Naperville, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1977 Toyota Celica ST 5-speed. I hate to sell this car because it is so rare in this condition, but I think it is time to change it up. This is the cleanest original 1st gen RA24 Celica that you are going to find. This car was originally from Las Vegas its entire life until a couple of years ago. This car has never seen a winter and it shows. There is no rust on this car with the exception of a nickle sized area that is just starting behind the right rear wheel and it can be seen in the pictures. Most of these have rusted out over the years making them extremely rare. This particular model has the 2.2L 20R engine mated to a W50 5-speed transmission. This car is completely original with the exception of an aftermarket header. I am including the original exhaust manifold with the sale though should you chose to put that on. The only area that could use some attention is that there is a slight exhaust leak where the header meets the exhaust. Other then that this car runs and drives just like the day it rolled off the showroom floor. I have daily driven this car and taken it on road trips. I would not hesitate taking this on a long journey. You really get into this car and be transported back in time. The interior is in great shape with the exception of a few tears in the front seats and a couple of cracks in the dash. Other than those two items, it is very clean and original. Everything works on the car including the original radio. The brakes and tires are all in good shape. The car was originally yellow and it got painted white at some point in its life. The paint job is in good shape. I would call it a 5 footer. There are just a couple spots with nicks in it. The underside of this car is just a clean as the top side. I have worked for many years as a vintage british car restoration specialist and I know the difference between how a tight old car feels and a loose old car feels. This one feels tight just like new. The doors close ultra smooth. I can keep going on and on about this car because of how rare it is to find one like this. A lot of people say rust free and that changes when you start taking the interior apart. I can assure you that I have been through this car and it is truly rust free with the exception of that one spot I mentioned and is pictured. This car turns heads more than any other car I have owned. Most people do not even know what it is. Also, if you are interested, after the auction I can include a rare set of period 15x8 Work Ewing iii wheels with brand new tires on them. That would be for an additional fee. The wheels that are included in the auction are the steel ones shown on the car. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.
If you have fewer than 5 feedback or recent bad feedback please e-mail me first. I have had many problems on here with non-paying bidders. This is a real auction for a real car. Only bid if you have the money to pay. |

Toyota Auris gets new Touring Sports variant
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Toyota showed off the Touring Sports version of the Auris next to the newly introduced Auris Hybrid at last year's Paris Motor Show, but didn't say much about it. Six months later, just ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, the company is crowing about that wagon going on sale with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, creating the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid.
The hauling version of the exceptionally popular Auris hatchback doesn't just add a hybrid wagon to the compact segment, Toyota says it offers class-leading load capacity of 1,658 liters with the Easy-Flat one-touch rear seats down. With the rear seats up, it offers 530 liters. The little big gulp is possible because the hybrid batteries have been placed under the rear seats instead of being in the luggage area.
It looks the same as the hatchback save for the fact that it's 285 millimeters (11.2 inches) longer behind the C pillar, has a redesigned tailgate and a lower load floor. Engines beyond the hybrid will match the rest of the lineup: 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline engines and a 1.4-liter D-4D diesel. There's a chance we'll see it in Geneva, if we don't there's a press release below to tell you all about it.
2014 Toyota Aygo marks the spot [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Following the leaked pictures we showed you yesterday, we have the full battery of images and info of the all-new Toyota Aygo, in addition to our gallery of live photos from the floor of the Geneva Motor Show.
Like its cousins from Peugeot and Citroën, the Aygo foregoes a diesel engine in favor of a highly efficient gas powerplant. The 1.0-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder turns out 68 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque. When it hits the market, it'll be with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed, X-Shift automated manual. The former will help the Aygo return 57.3 miles per gallon and hit 62 miles per hour in 14.2 seconds. Opting for the X-Shift variant will net drivers 56 mpg, with 62 arriving in a leisurely 15.5 seconds.
We'll admit, aside from the fuel efficiency, there's nothing terribly great about those numbers. Still, with its compact dimensions - it's only 136 inches long - and a curb weight of no more than 2,000 pounds, it should prove tossable in the bends.
Toyota nearing $1B settlement of unintended acceleration criminal probe
Sun, 09 Feb 2014According to those all-too-nebulous "people familiar with the matter," Toyota is close to a settlement with the US federal government to end a criminal probe over its long-running unintended acceleration fiasco. Though Toyota has never admitted guilt, the deal could reportedly crest a billion dollars and would likely include a criminal deferred prosecution agreement, and while we're not legal experts, The Wall Street Journal explains that such a deal would "[force Toyota] to accept responsibility while avoiding the potentially crippling consequences of federal criminal convictions."
The report from WSJ also suggests that Toyota is facing charges that it "made false or incomplete disclosures" to various government agencies regarding possible defects to its cars. Such charges may include mail and wire fraud violations. Toyota has already paid out fines totaling $66.2 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it failed to report safety defects in a timely manner.
This deal with the federal government is not related to the billion-dollar class-action settlement reached with Toyota owners over falling vehicle values, and it's also different from the roughly 400 lawsuits still in courts alleging personal injury of wrongful death due to cases of unintended acceleration. In other words, don't expect to hear the end of such courtroom verdicts and settlements anytime soon...
