RARE.....RARE....RARE...Chance to own this one of a kind 1st Generation Toyota Celica RA22.

Up for sale is my much loved 1975 Toyota Celica. This car is truly one of a kind. It's is the rare 1975 model which has the earlier short nose body style with the larger engine found in the later long body style. Was only produced in the 1975 and what makes it even rarer is the fact is was a factory AC car and was even a Manual Transmission.
Car has only 68k original miles. 

This car has undergone a full body restoration. The body prior to restoration was very mint and has never been in an accident so need to worry about patched panels, rust, or filler. Body has been painted Toyota Super White II. The engine bay, firewall, door mirrors, door sill trim, and rocker moldings have been fully shaved. The body of this car is flawless!!! Spare tire well has also been shaved and frame supports added from rail to rail on the underbody for chassis strengthening. Late model Celica seats have been mounted in the car. Studs were welded into the floor so late model Celica racing seat brackets can be used also if you want to add some old school recaros, etc. Just bolt up and go.

There is no engine or transmission. This leaves limitless options for the purchaser to take the completion in any direction they wish. Whether it be a factory inexpensive 20R or a high dollar Corvette LS or Supra 2JZ swap. MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!! Your engine choice could require modifications to the chassis though. Don't expect a bolt up swap. Tunnel / Firewall modifications, welding on mounts to the crossmember, etc could be expected. 

I just recently reinstalled the interior and glass so it was ready for transport if it sells. All of the brand new weatherstripping and trim pieces were used. Attached interior pics are current. All panels are in great condition but the choice to recover to 100% new would be up to the buyer. The vehicle of course still needs carpet but I was holding off for that until an engine choice was made in case there needed to be tunnel modifications. The factory dash pad vinyl was cracked hence why I recovered it in the plaid. You could leave it like this or recover in leather/vinyl to match everything else like i had planned. The metal dash panel in the front ,which is part of the chassis, that the pad attaches to and rear deck was sprayed flat black while in for restoration after the old paint was stripped down to metal. Since everything was raw I decided to have them black instead of white. A brand new OEM headliner is in the car also. Looks great. Very tight fit.  
The stock Heater box / Fan AC Blower and all dash panels, controls, and gauges I do have and will come with the car. They are all in perfect working condition. I also have a new RA21 vent blower panel that attaches to the box and under the dash which has AC controls and two vents. Looks great!

Brake lines need to be ran. Fuel lines need to be ran. Wiring installed.

Front and rear RA21 Smooth bumpers included. Great condition but they do have a few dings.

Other than that the car is complete and assembled for transport. I can put all of the extras inside the car if you wish to ship.

Comes with a Ford Racing Trak Lok, Ford Racing 3.73 Ring and Pinion, and 93 cobra rear brakes. HUGE SAVINGS HERE!!!

All original wiring. EVERYTHING
Anything and everything else I have related to the car I haven't listed will be included.

If you have been searching for a vintage Toyota dream car this is the one for you. No need to spend months or years tracking down rare or non existing parts and spending thousands upon thousands of dollars. I've done all that hard work and it's all included.  

******For those that hesitate because of price, there is way over $20k in this car. This was no Maaco paint job. All dings were removed by hand, no filler. The added in rear roll pan was all hand rolled and welded in. PPG paint. Hard clear in the engine bay so no yellowing will occur due to heat either. Not a corner was cut here. The quality is second to none. The starting bid is set accordingly but you for sure will get more than you pay for and this car will not depreciate like most.******

Serious bidders only. Full payment is due within seven days of the auction end. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the vehicle at sales@the75celica.com or through eBay.

Toyota bringing updated Avensis to Geneva

Tue, Feb 17 2015

The upper end of Toyota's sedan lineup in America may be all about the Camry and Avalon, but that's not the case everywhere in the world. Back home in Japan, Toyota offers the Crown and the Mark X. But in Europe, it all comes down to the Avensis. And the Japanese automaker is about to roll out an updated version at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The Avensis, for those unfamiliar, is Toyota's challenger to the likes of the Ford Mondeo (which we know as the Fusion) and the Volkswagen Passat, available in both sedan and wagon forms. It was first introduced in 1997 and is currently in its third iteration, but what you see here is not the fourth-generation model but an update on the MkIII that hit the European market in 2009. Full details on the refreshed model have yet to be disclosed, but the new Avensis clearly benefits from revised styling – carried out at the company's design studio in the South of France, with production to continue at the Burnaston plant in the UK. Expect a revised interior, updated equipment and a new engine range to also be part of the mix when the new Avensis is revealed in full early next month in Switzerland. TOYOTA TO REVEAL NEW AVENSIS AT THE GENEVA MOTOR SHOW Toyota will reveal the new Avensis at the Geneva motor show (3 – 15 March), the latest development of its contender in the European mid-size (D-segment) car market. New Avensis has been styled at Toyota's ED2 design studio in the South of France and developed by the company's R&D centre in Brussels. It will be built by Toyota Manufacturing UK at the Burnaston car plant, near Derby. The new model will deliver innovations in comfort and safety and will feature a new range of engines that promise both performance and efficiency. Avensis has been designed to appeal to fleet and private customers alike. Toyota will present new Avensis and host a press conference on its stand at the Geneva motor show at 12:15 on 3 March.

Final decision on Toyota/BMW sports car due by year end

Fri, Sep 18 2015

BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding to share technology and build a sports car way back in 2012, and months later, they made that partnership official. This oft-rumored model from two auto industry titans still hasn't hit the road, and the time has come to make a final decision about its future. Thankfully, the model's fate is just a few months from being known. "By the end of the year we will approve whether or not we will make it," a Toyota spokesperson said about the sports car project, according to Automotive News Europe. "The whole study before that, on what kind of platform, on what kind of architecture, that's been progressing quite well. We haven't yet decided to give the green light to the project, but it's coming up." The collaboration is supposed to result in jointly developed fuel-cell tech, composites, and research into lithium-air batteries. Little is officially known about what Toyota and BMW are planning for the sports car project, but there are plenty of rumors about what's in store. Both automakers are supposed to get their own version of the vehicle. Some reports say the Japanese model will be the revival of the Supra, and the Bimmer-badged one might end up being a replacement for the Z4. The potential powertrains have been suggested as a German-sourced, turbocharged inline six with rear-wheel drive and a super-capacitor-powered plug-in hybrid with all-wheel drive.

2014 Toyota Corolla and Tundra production underway

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.
