Clean Mk2 Celica Supra. Rebuilt Motor, Great Driver Or Restoration Project on 2040-cars

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

 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.

Toyota celebrates 30th anniversary of Land Cruiser 70 with Japan rerelease [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

It's a common refrain among auto enthusiasts to bemoan the current models being sold for being overly complex and expensive and to wish that automakers would just make vehicles like the old days. Sure, they might not have been as safe or efficient, but there was often a certain rugged simplicity that's gone today. Well, Toyota is actually doing it and thinks there's enough demand to put the Land Cruiser 70 back into production in Japan for its 30th anniversary. Sadly, it's only for one year.
The original Land Cruiser 70 served a long life in Japan from 1984 to 2004. Even today, the proven model remains in production in some regions abroad. People in its home country still love the vehicle though, and Toyota is brushing off the mothballs to give customers what they want. For the first time ever there, it's also offering the double-cab pickup version in addition to the traditional enclosed body. The company thinks that it can move about 200 of these classic trucks this year, which isn't too shabby for a vehicle that's three decades old.
Looking at the pictures above, these look like the same old Land Cruisers, but Toyota is updating them slightly to meet modern safety rules. The grille, hood and headlights are all tweaked, and they now come with airbags and anti-lock brakes. A 4.0-liter V6 is under the hood making 228 horsepower (170 kilowatts) and 266 lb-ft of torque (360 Newton-meters), and the only available gearbox is a five-speed manual. Part-time four-wheel drive is standard. If you're really afraid of getting stuck in the wilderness, locking front and rear differentials and a winch are available as options.

2015 Toyota Yaris

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Advertising firms have done an admirable job convincing consumers that the easiest way to find a best-in-segment car or truck is by looking at a few key metrics. In the most elementary terms, the vehicle with the highest horsepower, most gears in its transmission housing, lowest acceleration times and best fuel economy most certainly must be the class benchmark.
Yet as the commercials and billboards continue to drive that deceitful message, Toyota is betting shoppers in the subcompact segment are a bit more discerning. The Japanese automaker has just launched its updated 2015 Yaris, a three- and five-door offering that bucks the innovation and performance trends by offering what Toyota feels that entry-level buyers actually desire - reliability, practicality and a low sticker price.
It's sweltering in the tropical Hawaiian sun as I check out the deeply refreshed 2015 Yaris SE. This five-door hatchback, a range-topping version of the company's subcompact "sporty hatch" (Toyota's words, not mine), builds on the new-in-2012 generation by wearing new front and rear fascias, redesigned headlights and some attractive new wheels for the upcoming model year.

How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota

Thu, 08 May 2014

With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
