SOLD

For sale or trade, 1978 Celica GT 5 spd. 20R engine, all original- including smog equipment. Great condition. Engine runs like a sewing machine. I bought to use as a commuter, but :princess: doesn't want to sell her POS van (why on God's green earth I'll never know). Factory A/C does not work, other than that it is in perfect mechanical shape. New tires all around. Brakes are good. Just replaced rear diff and transmission oil. No leaks of any kind. Odometer reads 41k miles, but I'm not going to vouch for that. Parts of the car look like 41k but given the age of the car, my guess is it has seen a gentle 141k miles. The PO says that he bought from original owner, but no paperwork on that. It has been resprayed the factory yellow (maybe a shade darker, but it's hard to tell). No rust underneath that I have been able to find. Clean title in hand. $3,200 or trade for whatever you got, preferably toyota or landcruiser related.

That is sweet! GLWS
 
Just to clear the air, the knoxville one is a 1st gen celica ('77), but it does look similar. I'm glad fellow mudders are looking out for potential scams, because there's a lot out there.

Nice Celica. Reminds me of my first car...except mine was matte light blue. GLWS.

The light blue looks good on these, although the yellow is starting to grow on me...

Hhmmmm...I need a commuter...

That's why I bought it - would make a great commuter IMHO The 5 speed is nice. I wish I had that final gear ratio in my 40!

Wow thats a nice clean car for its age. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the comments/bumps. I would like to see this go to a MUD member or at least a Toyota enthusiast. Still open to trades or partial trades
 
I just bid on it :)
 
not at the reserve though :(
 
This was my first car. DooDoo brown color. Good luck with the sale. I'd buy it if it were closer.
