Knee jerk reaction is crack pipe... but on close inspection this is just about the perfect RA29 to begin with....
1975 Toyota celica
Aka the RA25 celica
it's a 2000GT,
it has around 93916KM which is about 58k milage!
5speed
has the 18RG with dual mikuni carbs
Rare Reverse Mesh wheels all around (staggered)
Recaro interior,aftermarket steering wheel,few other goodies, like aftermarket 80s speaker/casset deck
rare hatch spoiler/front damn,side,etc
stock suspension
Perfect to restore to your liking
Vehicle may have scuffs,scratches,dents,rust,etc, There is putty up front near front window(may to stop ruse),does have paint chips or cracks, just be aware our price will not change...its for somebody to restore...Hence the price.
All I can say is Toyota sure built a good looking Mustang BITD...
In a couple of years, we'll be like, Remember when someone offered that super-clean '75 Celica for only $11K....
That design has really grown on me over the years, I'm not sure I'd pay 11k for it though.
crack - its a helluva drug.
If this were a notch but otherwise identical, absoberkeleyinglutely.
This will sell at the current price. Some people like the fastbacks that much better.
I see a very nice $6K car, crack price is $11K.
Nice looking
I think you'll find the people that know these cars will pay way more for this particular example.
That motor is big money. The carbs are big money. Some of those trim pieces big money. The wheels are big money.
This car has all the pieces and the most desirable drivetrain.
You'd pay $6k, I'd probably feel OK bidding up to $8k. Somewhere is the guy who will outbid me and get to $10k. From there it's only a small leap.......
Double hit on the pipe...
That's somebody's dream car. It'll sell.
I like this car, a lot, but $11k? I'll pick up a S2000 or something, less headache, nearly as cool, just as fun if not more.
I'm not much into buying cars because they are old. It needs some merit aside from that for me at that price. If you think about it this is a Celica with not even 100hp and a primitive suspension, compares a lot to a Ford Mustang II to me just asian. To me a 2T-G jdm car would be the only one I would consider at this price.
At $6k i would change my tune.
Think about it. For Like $14k there is a guy, or was idk if he sold it yet, selling a R30 Skyline RS. I would MUCH rather have that. You can buy a J market Delta Integrale 8v and import it for that price, i almost did. This just doesn't compare to what you can get in the low $10ks even classic JDM stuff.
Speaking of 2T i would LOVE E70 with a 2T-GEU
Ok Guys, I don't claim to know everything about early celicas (I currently own 5 including a Chumpcar racer) especially those made in Japan. 1st off the front fenders R 76-77 Celica. The 71-75 all have angled front marker lights. Second in American Celicas the smile bumpers are only on 71-74 celicas. I do realize this one is custom. 3rd the side view mirrors R also wrong for every year rwd celica ever made! The Japanese version is always showed w/2 funky mounting of the mirrors half way up on the front fenders. American cars came w/one mounted on the driver's door it was made of stainless steel/alum. 4th in American Celicas the 20R is normal engine. I do like the car. It is not one intended for the America since the RHD & liftbacks were not imported here until the '76 model year. I think it is a 71-74 Japanese liftback w/76-77 front fenders which R longer. The hood is longer for these longer fenders or modified to extend to the front edge of the front fenders. The air extractors R older than what we got on our '75 Celicas as well. Nice car but not orginal! The real question is what engine could U still get in Japan in '75 Celica liftback & were the fenders correct or newer since it is a custom? It will sell yes, but is it worth 11K? Would like to see a picture of the door plate & engine comp. options plate. I'd pay say 6k maybe?

this car has as much cool in it's louvers as every S2K ever made put together have as a whole. They're not even close in regards to coolness factor. That being said $8500 is the fair price.

Gotta be careful, there are Chinese knockoffs available. They are very good too if you don't really know recaros.

If that's "super-clean," you might be on crack, friend.

I think this made a weird and indelible impression on me in my formative years:

Yep. If I had $11K to blow on another toy car (and a place to put it), I'd pay it.
edit: Sh1t... it's RHD too? Serious case of the "wants" here... I don't care what I still have to do to it to finish it.
Crack pipe was the all-original, low miles '77 Celica Liftback in the Carlisle corral this year with an asking price of $17K.

As much of a toyota and jdm fan as I am, $11k buys a hell of a lot with regard to these cars. Clean 240z, rx7, or mr2 would be more interesting to me for that money.
I want it. I also wanted a 240sx, so I bought one for $100.
