 CLEAN 1985 CELICA SUPRA FOR SALE- NO RESERVE, AUCTION STYLE LISTING!! More pics of the interior are coming, I apologize. Also, autocheck reports that it was titled in 2001 and at that time it was reported "not actual mileage." Utah is kind of funny about odometer requirements on older cars and there is no verification whatsoever done by the state on odometers. I CAN PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THIS CAR HAS 208,000 ORIGINAL MILES. The odometer works and always has, and as far as I know I got the car from the original owner.

This supra is in very good condition for the age and mileage. While it is by no means a show quality car, it is a very clean driver or base for a restoration. These are getting harder to find and only increasing in value. Great investment in a classic Japanese sports car. This car is the "P" or performance package, which had wider wheels, fatter tires, fender flares, and a few other distinguishing features.

The motor was rebuilt in 2001 (top end, head gasket, water pump, timing belt) and it was parked that year upon the death of the owner. It sat until 2014 when I went through it and got it running. The tank and injectors have been cleaned, new fuel pump installed, fuel filter, lines etc as well as a complete tuneup. It also has a new battery. It runs perfectly with no hesitation, bogging or misfiring. It sounds great and pulls strong. It has a newer exhaust all the way back. I had plans to save it from storage and restore it, but  all I have done is get it driveable. It will still need tires (they have great tread, but are old.) Probably rear shocks, and some minor work here and there but all in all it runs and drives great and is a strong reliable runner. The clutch feels strong and the transmission feels nice. It is a rewarding car to drive.

The body: The body is clean and straight. There are no missing or broken trim pieces. No dings or dents. The only noticeable flaw is the drivers front marker lens is cracked. The car has been repainted (probably in the 90s) but looks to be a fairly thorough paint job. All the doorjams etc look good and the paint still shines and feels smooth. There is some minor surface rust near the gas filler door, but none elsewhere. Undercarriage has minor surface rust as well but really nothing concerning. There is no rust on the body or undercarriage that I would consider "rot" or un-repairable.

The interior: Interior is clean and nice. Minor wear on the outer drivers side bolster and arm rest. Other than that the interior is a 9/10. Dash is un-cracked, headliner is clean, carpets are good, and nothing is missing or broken. It comes with the original carpet mats and original rubber mats. It has an aftermarket cd player that was installed in the 90s with a kenwood equalizer. It is wired for subs, and there is a kenwood amp underneath the passengers seat. The drivers seat has a small air bladder with which you can inflate different sections of the seats to suit your preference. They really are comfortable sporty feeling seats.

As far as I can tell everything works including the A/C and heat. The car is equipped with cruise control which is a somewhat rare option on 5-speed performance packages. All gauges function correctly.

Aside from the car, this is what is included:
2 factory rubber mats
2 factory carpet mats
an un-opened leather bra for the car
2 sets of keys
original owners manual
spare tire
toolkit

The car is located in Salt Lake City, UT and is also for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. The car has a clean clear utah title and will be sold with a title and bill of sale. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ARRANGING SHIPPING. I WILL BE HAPPY TO MEET A TRANSPORT TRUCK ANYWHERE IN SALT LAKE VALLEY. THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO EXISTING OR IMPLIED WARRANTY. I HAVE TRIED TO BE HONEST AND THOROUGH IN MY DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME, AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE #. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND READ THE WHOLE AD BEFORE BIDDING. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION, YOU OWN THE CAR. YOU ARE NOT BIDDING ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE CAR, YOU ARE BUYING IT. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE. I'm not trying to scare away buyers or come across rude but I have had many flaky buyers on eBay motors. Please don't waste my time or the time of people who actually want the car.

Feel free to contact me with ANY questions you have about the car or the auction. I accept cash and cashiers check. The deposit will be paid by paypal or bank transfer. Thank you

Toyota Camry Hybrid SE adds a dash of limited-edition sport

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

For drivers who want to benefit from the increased efficiency of a hybrid sedan but who don't want to look like they'd rather be hugging trees, Toyota has just announced its 2014.5 Camry Hybrid SE Limited Edition.
The SE LTD combines the exterior bits and pieces that make the SE look sportier than other Camry models with the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, electric motor and nickel metal hydride battery pack of the Camry Hybrid. That means the Hybrid SE offers up 200 combined system horsepower to the front wheels, and we'd expect it to be rated at the same 40 miles per gallon city and 38 highway of the Camry XLE Hybrid.
Only 5,000 units will be produced between February and June of 2014, with an asking price of $27,845, which is about $700 more expensive than the base Camry Hybrid LE or $2,620 less than the Hybrid XLE that Toyota says shares a similar level of equipment. Sounds like a fair shake to us. Scroll down below for the complete press release.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ

Tue, Sep 30 2014

A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader. Elon Musk will speak at the Automotive News World Congress in January. The Tesla CEO is a featured speaker for the program, "Setting the Pace in a Thriving Market." The event takes place in Detroit, which could lead to an interesting mix of people in the audience, and Musk will speak on January 13. Read more at Automotive News. Production of the Toyota Rav4 EV has ended. The shipment of the final Toyota EVs concludes Toyota's deal to source batteries from Tesla. Of the 2,600 Rav4 EVs to be produced, there are probably just a few hundred left to be sold, most of which are likely to be gone by the end of October. Read more at Inside EVs. Cadillac will likely show an improved version of the ELR at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The 2016 ELR will include unspecified "engineering enhancements," according to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell. There will be no 2015 model, as the 2014 model will be sold until the 2016 ELR goes on sale in the first half 2015. Read more at Edmunds. Uber executives, along with Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, have announced a major expansion of the ride-hailing company's Chicago headquarters. Uber also plans to add 420 jobs by the end of 2016. "Uber's new expanded headquarters will allow the company to continue its rapid growth and serve its riders and drivers throughout Illinois," says Governor Quinn. Last month, Quinn vetoed legislation that would have put restrictions on companies like Uber in the state. Read more in the press release below.
