1985 Toyota Celica Gt Amazing Condition 5 Spd. Fully Documented 117k Miles on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
This car is the nicest 82-85 Celica I've ever seen (non-Supra) and it just about never made it to Ebay. Here is a video of the car right after I got it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gYh5_frYi4
And another video of when it was mostly complete I bought this car a short time ago sight unseen from a junkyard, I was going to part it to use parts for another Celica. When this car arrived on a tow truck, it was much better than I expected, dirty and faded outside but when I opened the door, I found a flawless interior and every piece of documentation in the glove box. It was far better than the car I was working on. I immediately called the towing company and inquired about the paperwork for the car, they told me that they had never filed for a certificate of destruction and for an extra fee I could get a clear title to the car, which I did without hesitation. This car was bought brand new at Sutherlin Toyota in Clearwater, Florida. It is a nicely equipped Celica, 5spd. A/C, cruise control, power sunroof, and factory rear louvers. It has been completely repainted, it has only 117K miles on it and it absolutely drives like a brand new car.
I will walk you around this car and describe it as I know it.
Exterior When I got this car, it was dirty, faded and had a dent on the side. It has been repainted in the correct Super Red color. It had one dent which was professionally repaired prior to paint. It has zero rust anywhere. All of the lights, plastic, etc. are near perfect. The tires are perfect Bridgestones. The wheels could use some minor detailing and recleared but there are no major flaws. The car looks great, like a new Celica sitting on a lot. Interior This car was obviously garage kept and it had window tint, including a tinted windshield, which has all been removed revealing a perfectly flawless and crack free interior. Almost every single piece of every part of the interior is like new, including the factory Toyota floormats and the center armrest. The original cargo cover is intact and works perfectly. Even the original stereo/cassette deck sounds good. Non smoker car. It could use new sunvisors and that's it. Mechanical It runs like brand new, drives like brand new, stops great. No leaks, no issues of any kind. Every single thing on this car works perfectly except the drivers side power mirror. Every light, buzzer, and other accessory works perfectly including the power antenna. It also has a brand new Ac compressor and a brand new set of fuel injectors.
Overall This is an amazing car that was very near to getting crushed. It's cool because it's not a Supra and it's not a GT-S convertible, in my opinion it's harder to find a car like this one and this one is the perfect blend of luxury, options, style and rock solid reliability. This particular car has definitely been well cared for throughout a majority of it's life. Why it was in the junkyard or a police auction, who knows. I believe it was a seizure for drugs or DUI. There are no signs of flood or accident damage and I have a clear Florida title for it. Of all of the Toyotas and cars in general I've messed with in my life, this one is by far the neatest and has the coolest story with it. If you have any questions, please call me at 941-720-0300, my name is Jason. |

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show
Wed, Nov 26 2014The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota HQ goes solar, CARB fights methane
Tue, Jun 7 2016Opel denies allegations about illegal emissions software as the German transport ministry begins its review. Opel has turned documents over to German authorities, and promises to hold a "constructive dialogue" while answering any lingering questions, says the automaker. Opel says that "the allegations reflect a wrong understanding of how diesel engines work." As German magazine Der Spiegel renewed questions about a cheat device similar to those used by Volkswagen, Opel reiterates, "We do not have any software that recognizes whether a vehicle is undergoing an exhaust emissions test."

French industrial gases company Air Liquide manufactures liquid hydrogen, while Korean automaker Hyundai has already deployed its Tucson Fuel Cell crossover in select markets around the world. The two companies have signed a deal to cooperate on hydrogen technology. President Park visited an Air Liquide research center during a trip to Europe, where she said that a partnership between Hyundai and Air Liquide can help their countries stay ahead in the fuel cell vehicle market.

The system, treatment, operation, and device standards would apply to onshore and offshore oil and gas production, storage, processing, and transmission facilities, covering procedures for leak detection and repair, equipment replacement, record keeping, and data reporting. "Methane emissions from the oil and gas industry contribute to California's [greenhouse gas] emissions and cost-effective reduction opportunities already exist and are available for use in the sector," CARB says. "In addition, reducing methane emissions from this sector will help slow the rate of climate change in the near-term and have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change." A hearing is scheduled for July 21 to discuss the proposal. Read more from SNL. Toyota's new Plano, Texas campus will get 25 percent of its energy from the sun. As Toyota plans to move into its new North American headquarters next year, it is building a 7.75-megawatt solar system to provide renewable energy for its operations. The solar arrays will be built atop three parking structures by the end of 2017.
Toyota begins shipping Le Yaris to America
Fri, 17 May 2013Our tiniest Toyota (Scion iQ notwithstanding) is about to get a little French flair. The Japanese automaker announced Thursday that its Toyota Motor Manufacturing France facility would begin building Yaris models destined for North America - specifically, the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This will mark the first time in history that Toyota has exported vehicles to North America from Europe.
Initially, Toyota will export roughly 25,000 Yaris models to North American markets from France each year. In order to handle this additional production, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France has invested 10 million euro into its French facility.
Despite being somewhat of a snooze-fest (it's a car!), the Yaris carries on in North America with a 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with prices starting at $14,370 for the three-door and $15,395 for the five-door, not including $795 for destination.
