ASC Convertible: 1985 Toyota Celica GTS
The 3rd generation (internally called A60) Celica was the final rear-drive chassis to use Toyota’s Celica name. The next generation used a transverse front-drive setup that has become a de facto standard for economy cars, but up through 1985 you could get a Celica from the factory with a longintudinal engine and right wheel drive. The A60 generation also added rack-and-pinion steering for the first time and ASC (American Specialty Cars) were nice enough to modify a few of the coupe versions into a decent looking drop top. Find this 1985 Toyota Celica GTS offered for $5900 in Anaheim, CA via craigslist. Tip from Mike Jr.

Thanks for watching.
These are pretty rare. Looks like they only made these for one year and only a little over 4,200 of them total. Hell, only 250 of them in '84. If you're a Celica-file, this is definitely one to have.
