I don’t think that Toyota sold an All-Trac (or GT-Four) version of the Celica in the USA for the ST205 (1994-1999) generation. But today we’ve got a 95 Celica that is advertised as a manual gearbox equipped All-Trac and I wouldn’t say no to that. If this is an All-Trac equipped (or swapped) Celica, it […]
This next Celica is a reminder of how good a simple, honest sport compact can be, offering lightweight fun, clean styling, and the kind of reliability that made mid-90s Toyotas legendary. The sellers claims only 17,900 miles and it is equipped with a manual transmission. The white exterior and black interior look okay, but not […]
This one-owner Celica GT is the kind of analog, five-speed, pop-up–adjacent nostalgia machine people swear they’ll buy “one day” until all the good ones vanish. Finished in a deep red with just 122k miles, it comes with the famously unkillable 2.2L four-cylinder, cold AC, power windows, and a clean title. It’s the simple, honest, perfectly […]
This next car comes as a tip from Spencercat who writes: Too good to be true? This ’77 Celica looks like too good a price to resist, but then try and find a new fuel tank and steering wheel and seats and … Yes, indeed this project Celica is about as cheap as they come, […]
Back in the 1980s, Toyota had an amazing run in IMSA GT racing in their compact Celica coupe in the GTO class under the Dan Gurney and Carroll Shelby-founded AAR (All American Racers) team. With a 475 horsepower Safari Rally-bred 4T-GTE 4-cylinder that put power to all four wheels, it was dominant through the 1987 […]
The 2nd generation Toyota Celica was released in 1985 on an all-new transverse front-wheel-drive platform (previous generations dating back to 1970 were rear-wheel-drive). The new Celica was more refined than the previous version and a new 2.0 liter engine promised more performance. Today’s Celica is the sporty GT-S version and has a slick top (no […]
This next car comes as a tip from Spencercat who calls it “In the hold my beer category…”. Indeed, this car qualifies for multiple WTF badges and I cannot understand where you get to the point that an OM617 diesel makes more sense than something from Toyota or a Chevy 350…but I get it. Find […]
The fifth generation Toyota Celia was released for the 1990 model year with all-new “Super Round” organic styling and further refinement on the rock-solid build quality that was beginning to be synonymous with the word Toyota. This next Celica isn’t the super rare GT-Four version with a turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive, but it is a […]
The Toyota Celica was an affordable ‘sporty’ coupe from Toyota, and quite frankly, it was a disappointing car once it switched from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive when the fourth-generation Celica debuted in 1986. The only notable exception is the All-Trac turbo cars that combined all-wheel-drive with a turbocharged 4-banger to put some fun back […]
Who donates a car that looks this nice to a salvage yard? I get when you have a car that doesn’t run/drive and an older owner…it’s gotta go…but this thing runs/drives and looks amazing for the age. I don’t like dealing with craigslist flakes or furrin scammers on the facemeltbook, but you could get a […]
