1977 Toyota Celica Gt Liftback First Gen on 2040-cars
Corydon, Indiana, United States
Please have feedback before buying, SERIOUS buyers only. Will ship if buyer sets it up. Payment must be made in full before I ship though.
I am only selling due to needing a newer 4 door car. I am not making money on this (With purchase price and things I've bought for it) Which I am including. 1977 celica fastback, copper brown, 5 speed, 96k original miles with window Louvers. This is an original ARIZONA CAR but I bought this from a gentleman in Wisconsin who kept it in a temp controlled storage unit during the salty winters (He owned it for only 3 years). I drove over 600 miles there and 600 miles back (In the car). Did just fine. I looked for over 3 years before I found one I wanted....Now I realize I just need something newer. After several car shows I have to say goodbye. The car is mostly all original except for paint. I always get a compliment no matter where I go. Also lots of attention at the car shows. The car has had the following done to it (and more that I can't remember). Newer tires New fuel pump New rear wheel bearings carb redone new valve cover seals new carpet (Not installed) New window seals and much more I am including a BRAND NEW weber 32/36 carb (Paid 300$ for it alone) Still in brand new redline box. The car will need the following: Drivers seat recovered (Passenger seat is nice) Center console bezel is cracked and A pillars are a little crackly Small spot on door interior The front brakes are squeaking so they will need done soon (just normal maintenance) The dash and rest of the interior is nice. It's an import from 1977, it's in good shape for being this age and probably one of the best you'll find. Exterior is rust free, underneath is rust free and you're welcome to check it out. No leaks of any kind from what I've seen. Which is almost unheard of with any old car. Has a fresher oil change (About a month old). The paint could use something done to it, the guy who did it before did a decent job BUT looks like there was dirt in the primer and he just painted over and left lots of small bumps/ruff areas on the roof and drivers side. Under the hood is stock other than I took a day to polish the stock valve cover. Will look really good once the weber is installed. Asking 7,900 FIRM cash, cash is king and I'm not dying to sell it. I may die IF I sell it though..... These cars are only going up in value. |

Toyota Camry Dragster takes the phrase 'sleeper' to its logical extreme [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. This is certainly one of those times, as Toyota successfully trolled the entirety of the media corps at the 2014 SEMA Show by rolling an innocent-looking Camry onto the floor... only to lift literally the entirety of its body to reveal an 850-horsepower, tube-framed dragster. Well, we have been asking for a more driver-oriented Toyota.
While it's designed to go fast in a straight line, the origin of the Camry Dragster's parts might be surprising. The 5.7-liter V8 engine, transmission, rear axle and electronics were plucked from the Toyota Tundra pickup. Toyota Racing Development donated a supercharger, while a wet-nitrous-injection system was also tacked on for that little extra something. Those goodies will help propel this anonymous looking monster through the quarter mile in just 9.8 seconds.
"This is the most extreme build we've ever unveiled at SEMA," said Toyota's motorsports chief Steve Appelbaum said in a statement. "The transformation from seemingly stock Camry to full-blown racecar just shocks the senses. Chuck Wade and the team at Motorsports Technical Center did a truly spectacular job executing the vision of this project."
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Toyota i-ROAD leans its way into the city [w/video]
Mon, 04 Mar 2013According to Toyota, the "i-ROAD takes the company closer to its goal of creating the ultimate range of eco cars." As you're surely aware, that range of eco cars includes the enormously successful Prius family, but this new machine is nothing like the hybrid hatchback. And it's not even a car - Toyota calls the i-ROAD a Personal Mobility Vehicle.
Toyota's i-ROAD Concept, which debuts at this week's Geneva Motor Show, is adorned with just three wheels, meaning it's just as much a motorcycle as it is a car, and the driver and passenger sit in tandem style instead of side-by-side. This arrangement allows for a very thin 850mm width, which is about the same as a large motorcycle. Because the cockpit is enclosed, the occupants don't need helmets, nor are they open to the elements outside.
Also like a traditional two-wheeler, the i-ROAD tilts through the turns and when driving on uneven surfaces. Toyota says its computer-controlled Active Lean technology automatically balances the vehicle with no input from the driver.
