1985 Toyota Celica Gts Convertible 2-door 2.4l on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
1985 Celica Convertible with extremely low 46,xxx miles.
There were only 4 to 5 thousand of these made ever; a handful in 1984 and the rest in 1985. I only know of one or two other with fewer miles. This is the first 'official' Celica convertible year and also the last year that Celicas had rear wheel drive. I've had it for about 5 years and have driven it only during the summer, maybe 2,000 miles per year. It runs great and I've loved driving it - I'm just making room for a different vehicle. This is the second one of these I've owned; I really liked the first one but it was really beat up and couldn't pass up getting this one with its low miles. When I bought it, it had just been restored to working order after many years of sitting and had been retired from the DMV records. It was given a paint job as part of that restoration. Overall, it's in really nice shape: - The upholstery is all intact. Rugs also. No cracks in the dash. - No rust. - A brand new top and headliner were professionally installed in 2012. The hydraulic system to raise and lower the top works fine. - The radio is a 5 year old Kenwood with aux / usb in; I kept the original radio / tape desk as well. - The 3 piece fiberglass parade boot is in nice shape. These are a bit more rare than the car itself. - I have an extra set of seat belts for it. They were only made for this one year, so when I got the chance to get a backup set I jumped on it. - Tires are maybe 4 years old but have only been driven on less that 10K miles. - I put a new muffler and catalytic converter on it when I got it. On the down side: - It leaks some motor oil (it does not burn oil at all). My mechanic said just drive it that way. Seems like it's leaking less lately, maybe an old seal is reseating after that long sit? No other leaks. - There's a couple of dings, none too bad. - A/C doesn't work. I've never tried to fix it - it's a convertible. - The mirrors could be painted. The ones that came on it looked good but didn't work mechanically, so I replaced them with working ones. I believe I still have them as well. - Even with the new top on, it will leak some in moderate rain around the front corners. I've pretty much only driven it in nice weather. - The automatic radio antenna raises to different levels each time the car is turned on. - The paint job it last got was fine, but it could have used better prep in a few spots. That's about it. It's a cool, classic, rare convertible that's lots of fun to drive. |

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests
Thu, 19 Dec 2013All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry, has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing.
You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed - just last week actually - to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports, Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating.
Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
