1980 Toyota Celica Sunchaser GT
Convertible

Up for auction. Very rare, 1980 Toyota Celica Sunchaser GT 5 Speed. #414 of 500 built in 1980. Approximately 2,000 total units ever built by the Griffith Co. over 3 years. Toyota commissioned the Griffith Co to build a convertible / targa top in an era when federal regulations prohibited auto manufacturers from building them. 
Now to my car, Florida born and raised and rust free top to bottom. Beautiful yellow paint that is not original and appears to be 10 years old with no signs of rust or any prior rust repair. Interior is in great shape and mostly original with the exception of seat inserts. Dash and console free of any cracks or damage. All gauges, clock, and factory radio in working order as well as ice cold air. The odometer shows 14,658 miles which I believe to be in excess of mechanically limits based on the extensive receipts that accompanied the car. Both the targa top and convertible rear top are in above average condition showing some signs of repair around the seals. Original targa top storage bag and boot cover in trunk. Both bumpers, all lights and wheels in excellent condition. Tires are mismatched. Mechanically car is very sound, starts and runs super, with no noises or signs of smoke from the 20r 4 cylinder engine and the 5 speed transmission shifts smoothly.
I purchased this car from a Toyota Dealer who had it in his warehouse for nearly 10 years. In addition to having a great car, the car comes with some amazing documents including service records, original owners manuals, and most of all an original 3 ring binder provided exclusively to Toyota Dealers. The binder details the whole history of the Sunchaser from inception to delivery to the select Toyota Dealers. Binder includes details of the fabrication, complete parts lists and all marketing and advertising information including the cover of Motor Trend Magazine February 1980 along with many other press releases. I have to believe the info in this binder adds priceless value to this car.
Bid with confidence. This car is as represented with a reserve well below its value.

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.

Impala crashes into Land Cruiser... to hide from a cheetah

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

What would you do if a wild animal jumped into your vehicle through an open window during an African safari? What if said animal was an impala being chased by cheetahs? Though the scenario seems unbelievable, that's just what happened to a group of tourists in Kruger National Park in South Africa, and it was all caught on video.
With the tour groups stopped, a motorist with a video camera handy happens to catch the unlikely sight of a herd of impalas (not that kind of Impala) jumping over the tarmac while being followed, quickly of course, by two cheetahs. The feline predators thought they had cornered one impala and were closing in for the kill when it jumped through the open window of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - South Africa's version of the Lexus GX. Fortunately for the occupants of said vehicle, the cheetahs did not follow.
A short while later, one of the occupants in the Toyota fearlessly opens a door to let the poor animal out. It must have been its lucky day, because the cheetahs didn't take pursuit. Check out the circle life get interrupted by this traffic jam in the video below.

Toyota GT86 GT4 racer is ready for UK competition

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

It's about time we saw someone cook up a legitimate race version of the delectable Toyota GT86, and now it looks as if GPRM has done just that. The Buckingham-based race engineering team has built the creation you see here, complete with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder boxer cooked up by Nicholson McLaren Engines. The team says the new mill delivers between 360 and 400 horsepower to the rear wheels depending on final testing, which is a sight bit more than the 197 horses the naturally aspirated stock mill offers.
The car will compete in GT4 events, including the Avon Tyres British GT Championship. Technically, the GPRM effort isn't factory backed, but the team says the effort "has the blessing of Toyota Great Britain." How could it not? You can check out the brief press release below below, and be sure to take a closer look at the machine in our gallery.
