This is my 1976 Toyota Celica GT Fastback. This car runs and drive great and the odometer shows only 41K miles. I am not the original owner of this vehicle so I can not say if the mileage is accurate or not, but gudging but the over-all fantastic condition of the car, I would guess it was accurate. All of the lights, wipers, horn, turn signals, hi/low beams, radio, work as they should. The Celica GT was repainted years ago and the paint still looks absolutely fantastic remaining bright, deep and glossy. The factory, numbers matching 20R motor starts by simply tapping the key, she purrs like a kitten once running, has strong compression and pulls hard. Additionally, the car runs smoothly and shifts through all the gears great. The interior is in awesome shape as well for being all original, other than the front seats which have two covers over them. The dash is close to perfect as is the headliner although the carpet is slightly faded due to age/sun. The motor is completely stock other than the addition of side-draft Webber carbs. and a manual choke. The body has no rust that I can find anywhere other than a small spot on the inside of the hood (can't be seen from the outside) about the size of a quarter.. The Celica GT currently has some old school American Racing aluminum wheels with tires that have 90% rubber remaining, center caps are rusty. Please note, although the tires have fantastic tread although all four are severely dry rotted and really should be replaced. The car also features very rare and difficult to locate rear window louvers. The Celica GT also has air conditioning although it is not charged an does not blow cold air currently. This is truly a rare car to find, especially in this condition. This lil' fastback was Toyota's solution to the more popular and expensive fastback mustang!

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
Toyota moving US headquarters to Plano, Texas
Mon, 28 Apr 2014It's official, Toyota is relocating its US operations to Plano, TX. And it won't be a symbolic 'all ranch and no cattle' gesture - the Japanese automaker, whose headquarters have been in California since 1957, has decided to base nearly all of its operations in the Lone Star State, including much of its engineering, finance and sales and marketing teams.
The move, which will see the establishment of a new headquarters campus in the Dallas suburb will not only affect employees at the company's current Torrance, CA Toyota Motor Sales USA campus, it will also touch the lives of thousands of employees at the company's other operations, including 1,000 workers at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America in Erlanger, KY and some New York-based staff as well. The Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, MI is not facing relocation, however, and it actually stands to gain responsibilities as Toyota overhauls its US org chart. Toyota says that its reorganization will affect about 4,000 employees in total.
According to Automotive News, while Toyota is adopting an "'everyone is invited' stance for the relocation," some attrition is expected from employees who aren't interested in relocating southward from the Golden State. For its part, the automaker is reportedly making expenses-paid visits to Plano available to full-time staffers and spouses to help them make the relocation decision, as well as a lump-sump payment if they decide to go through with the move.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
