1986 Toyota Celica Gt Only 121k Original Miles 5 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
Orange, Virginia, United States

I bought this car about a month ago to fix up a bit and drive. In the meantime I went out of state and while I was out of state, a friend decided to buy a NEW car and offered me their old Nissan Maxima at a good price. Therefore before I do anything or spend more money, this car is back on the market. It drives very well, the inspection is expired so when I drove it, it was on back roads with an illegal plate but it drives well, the A/C works and has already been converted to R134, there is a sticker in place. You can drive it now, the big worry is the radiator over a lengthy drive, if you replaced that it could drive anywhere. I DO NOT KNOW much about the history of the car other than what the AUTOCHECK says, so if you choose to drive it, you would need to check all fluids as you go to be careful. Probably towing would be better ( I borrowed a tow dolly and brought it about 100 miles myself to get it here) Other than a scrape on the passenger rear quarter and a needed clean up, the car is in remarkable aesthetic condition. Mechanically this is what I KNOW it needs ( it may need more BUT I am selling as is). This is what I know....it needs tires, a radiator, and the control for the hot/cold fixed in the dash ( right now it is a cable you move by hand to control it and it works that way}, I have NOT investigated what it needs back there to hook it back up. I have seen a couple of these cars on eBay for way more than I have this one listed. It may need other things as well, BUT I am being honest, I have not investigated more than what I have said, so I stress, I am selling as is no warrany. Text me with questions or more pics, or if you want to see it, I will be tied up all of July 4th, other than that, we can work something out for you to see it! It runs well, drives well, clutch seems strong. As I want to make clear, I bought it to fix up and drive, I am re-selling just because the Maxima I was offered was nicer and at a great price. I am pretty handy and have fixed up many 92-01 Camrys, this car and engine et al looked very similar, so I was was figuring with my labor, checking it over, fixing the dash temp control, getting a radiator, for under $400 I could fix it up and drive it for years ( that is with my doing the labor) then you have a great gas mileage little Toyota with only 121K. Until I got the Maxima, that was my plan! Anyway email me with any questions or if you want more pictures!!! Manual windows and locks, like I said it needs a good cleaning, but I have seen MUCH worse, it seemed pretty zippy on my short test drive, the clutch seems good, engine runs well. Hit the buy it now, the reserve is lower than the BIT but not by much, and for under a grand, you have a car that will a little tweaking, can last for years tp drive or for some one to learn to drive a stick shift!!! Nothing better than driving a manual I say, at least in country driving like what I do!

2015 Toyota Camry set to circle NASCAR track near you
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Toyota recently introduced the all-new 2015 Camry for the street, so it follows that it should want to promote its new bread-and-butter sedan by putting it out on the racetrack as well. And that's just what it's done here with the release of the new Toyota Camry for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
The new Camry represents the first reskin of the standard stock car chassis since the Gen-6 model was introduced in 2012. Toyota's Calty Design studio worked closely with series organizers to determine which parts could be redesigned to more closely resemble the new production model, and what you see here is the result. Since it is based on the same control chassis as all the others, the Camry's skin is applied over a steel tube frame and powered by an old-school 5.86-liter pushrod V8 mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.
Although the idea of a Japanese automaker in American stock car racing didn't initially get the warmest reception from some of the good ol' boys when it first entered the series back in 2007, it has by now become a staple of the NASCAR circuit. After all, it's hard for even the most patriotic of racing fans to argue with the US-built Camry's ranking as one of the most American cars by content on the market.
GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand
Tue, 21 May 2013An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
