1985 Toyota Celica Gt Coupe, 22re, Very Low Miles, Original Paint, Automatic on 2040-cars
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
For sale is my 1985 Celica GT Coupe. I purchased from the original owner years ago. Car is in near perfect condition. As rust free as you will find for a car of this age. Underside of car as clean as the top. Undercoating and factory rust treatment looks like they could have been done yesterday, yet it is the original. Original paint. Interior shows very minimal wear. Working factory options include sunroof, cruise control, air conditioning, power steering and front disc brakes, 22RE engine, 4 speed auto transmission, AM-FM stereo, power mirrors, fuel injection, tilt wheel, tinted glass, split fold down rear seats, floor mats, etc. Original spare, jack and tool kit appear unused.
New tires on recently refinished factory Toyota alloy GTS/Supra wheels. Balance weights installed on inside of wheels for a cleaner look that do not mark the wheel front. I have the original window sticker, warranty book, and owners manual. If the "Buy it Now" option is used I will include the original set of steel wheels, trim rings and center caps, (several caps are "New Old Stock") Factory Toyota Celica service manual, rare original Celica sales brochure, car cover; all in nice condition. When I purchased the car the engine ran great and had perfect compression in all cylinders, but under acceleration seemed to "ping." An experienced certified Toyota mechanic suggested engine disassembly in spite of the low miles. Number 4 piston was found damaged. The engine block was in perfect condition. After carefully cleaning the cylinder walls the engine was rebuilt using quality parts from LCE Engineering. This included 4 new pistons, rings, bearings, wrist pins, fuel injectors, balanced oil and water pumps, fuel filter, distributor, throttle position sensor, plugs, all new gaskets and radiator, etc. The 22RE is known for timing chain guide issues so since the engine was already apart the "single row" timing setup was converted to a "dual row" chain to include replacing the factory plastic guides with upgraded steel ones. A new timing cover was installed to accommodate the dual row setup. All parts from LCE Engineering. No expense spared in this conversion. This is now the smoothest running 22RE I have ever heard. Starts with just a "touch" of the key. It is well tuned and sorted out. Please note that the EGR system was deleted during the rebuild by utilizing quality block off plates from LCE Engineering. Mud guards are old school after market and were installed using existing holes and hardware. All original parts removed from the engine have been retained and go with the car if desired. EGR system could be reinstalled, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that. These are notorious for causing the #4 piston to overheat. I do not have to sell this car, but too many other projects demand my time. Available for inspection prior to auction end. A bid on this car is a commitment to buy. Car is a PA registered antique. Reserve is well below my investment. This car appears to have been garaged all its life. Car is normally stored on my drive-on lift which makes for simple inspection. Ask any questions prior to auction end. Thank you for viewing my auction and check my 100% feedback. |

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.
Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
Sun, 27 Oct 2013While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.
Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs
Thu, 07 Nov 2013When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.
