1981 Toyota Celica GT Sunchaser. When was the last time you saw one if ever? These were converted by Griffith of Florida from 79 to 81 for Toyota.

I purchased it from the 2nd owner. He had it since 2000 and he got it from the first owner who lived in San Diego, Ca. The car has two targa tops, and original one and a homemade one. The original owner had the top fly off on the freeway and was crushed so he had an aftermarket one made. I purchased an original one once I got the car. The interior was redone by the second owner and is in good shape although the carpet could be replaced from fading. The car does need a little body work and paint. 

The car has many options for the car to include, AC which works but needs charged (because it is still R22 my mechanic saids it would be cheaper to convert it to R134 than to have it charged with the R22), Cruise control (doesn't currently work), Tilt wheel, and a tiltable drivers seat. I installed a Kenwood CD/Ipod control stereo, 4 new speakers, ADS 6 channel amp and a 12" Alpine sub. Sounds great driving down the freeway with the top down!
In Utah we have safety and emissions testing. When I got it inspected I had a complete tune up, O2 sensor,  and carb rebuild done. The carb is adjusted for high altitude elevation so you may have to adjust accordingly.

This is a fun little car that chances are you won't see another one around town. 

Shipping is sole responsibility of the purchaser. Once payment has cleared the vehicle will be available for pickup. Once vehicle has been picked up I will mail title and extra keys.

4th-gen Toyota Prius production delayed by 6 months

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

If you were holding off buying a new car in anticipation of the fourth-generation Toyota Prius arriving in 2015, your wait might be a little longer. Company insiders are claiming that production of the bestselling hybrid is being pushed back from spring to possibly as late as December 2015. Toyota is reportedly still making alterations to make sure everything is just right before it unleashes the all-important, efficient hatch on a waiting public.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Automotive News Europe, the main reasons for the delay aren't completely known. It's believed the engineers are still working on making the hybrid powertrain more efficient and improving the new Toyota Global Architecture modular platform. The insiders claim that the final production prototype of the Prius is still under development, and it might be November before it's finalized. From there, it usually takes around 12 months to tool up and for the first car to roll off the assembly line. It would be another year after that before the plug-in variant starts assembly. The national manager of Toyota Product Communications, Michael Kroll, told AutoblogGreen, "As you might expect, we can't comment on future product plans."
Despite the delay, some potential details have already emerged about the new hybrid. A company spokesperson recently told Autoblog via email that Toyota is engineering the next-gen Prius to have smaller, more power-dense electric motors and greater thermal efficiency. The new modular platform is also rumored reduce weight, and the changes could lead to a targeted 10 percent improvement in fuel economy.

Toyota Hilux gets heart transplant from Lexus IS F

Thu, Sep 10 2015

The Toyota Hilux might not be sold in the US, but Toyota's venerable pickup has an international reputation of being able to go anywhere and do just about anything. The trucks aren't really known for their speed, though, at least until Toyota South Africa Motorsport's new, one-off project. This bruiser ditches the usual diesel engine and replaces it with an unrestricted 5.0-liter V8 from a Lexus IS F making 449 horsepower. Of course, it takes more than power to handle the rigors of high speed off-roading. The motorsport team also adds bigger, competition-spec brakes, fully adjustable dampers, new springs, and retuned gearing to make the truck look practically ready for the Dakar Rally. The gearbox is really the only part that carries over. The V8 gives the special Hilux quite a mean growl, too. With the new Tacoma just launching in the US, maybe the engineers at TRD need to apply this same concept over here for its own Lexus-engined, one-off pickup.
