I have for sale a 1985 Toyota Celica GTS convertible. It has the original 22re engine with a W58 5 Speed manual transmission. The car currently has 143,000 miles on the odometer, but everything mechanical has recently been 100% restored.
I have the original window sticker for this car and it sold for over $19,000 new! I also have the original owners manual and owners guide, along with a factory service manual and the Celica Convertible factory repair manual supplement.
This car has been garaged for nearly all of its life and has absolutely zero rust. The body is perfect, with no dents or dings and no body filler anywhere. I have personally owned this car for the last 10 years, and for the last 5 years I have been in the process of doing a complete restoration of the car. At this point, everything mechanical on the car has been completely restored and it runs and drives like a brand new car. Everything on the car works perfectly- all 4 power windows work perfectly, the top goes up and down perfectly, both power side mirrors are intact and function perfectly, the air conditioning still has the original R12 freon in it and still works perfectly.
Over the last 5 years, here are some of the details of what I have done to this car:
Engine completely rebuilt, balanced and blueprinted at 140,500 miles (block bored, honed and decked, new freeze plugs, crank polished, new pistons, new rocker arm shafts, new camshaft and valve springs, new oil pump, new water pump, new timing chain and tensioner,new distributor cap and rotor, new spark plugs and plug wires, all new bearings, seals and fluids)
New radiator and radiator hoses, new heavy duty thermostat
W58 manual transmission disassembled, inspected, bearings replaced where needed, new gaskets
New clutch assembly (NAPA lifetime warranty), new clutch master cylinder, new clutch fluid
New pinion seal and axle seals in rear end, new lucas synthetic gear oil
New front tie rods and lower ball joints, 4 wheel alignment
New Cooper Cobra tires (correct GTS size 245/60/14)
New flexible brake lines at all 4 wheels (8 hoses total), All 4 brake calipers disassembled and rebuilt
Brake fluid flushed and replaced, new front and rear brake pads, wheel bearings cleaned and repacked
New fuel pump in gas tank (Bosch lifetime warranty), gas tank removed and cleaned, new fuel filter
New battery (correct group size 24- 3 year free replacement)
New trunk lid supports (gas strut cartridges), new drivers door hinges
New windshield
. . .and I'm sure there are many other things I'm forgetting, but as you can see, I have spared no expense.
In fact, I currently have well over $10,000 invested in this car. Unfortunately, I have other pressing issues right now and I have decided that I'm going to have to part with my baby to help pay the bills. I'm just hoping she will go to someone who will give her a really good home, who will understand what a rare and unique vehicle this is and who will truly appreciate all the love and attention I have given her.
Negatives- I mention all of this only in the interest of full disclosure (because I'm a VERY picky person myself):
The car was repainted by the previous owner. I was given some of the paint used and it's high quality paint in the original color code, but in my opinion the paint job isn't the best possible quality. Whoever did it painted the whole front bumper red, instead of leaving the black stripe across the middle as it was originally. This could be easily redone. Overall, I would call the paint quality fantastic for a daily driver but I wouldn't consider it to be show winning quality.
Also, the top was replaced by the previous owner, and unfortunately it doesn't have the original glass rear window. However, the top and the headliner are still in very good condition.
There are a few little odds and ends in the interior that aren't perfect- the 2 triangular shaped pieces that go on the inside of the side mirrors have fallen off, and need to be reattached or replaced. The shift boot is missing on the shifter (the one that clips to the console), the drivers side floor mat has a hole in it and the rear seats don't latch in the up position very well for some reason, but I always just leave them in the down position anyway.
If you have questions, or if you would like to see it in person, feel free to call me at 828-329-2724.

Toyota's production fuel cell car to cost between $50-100k
Fri, 03 May 2013
While the cost of building a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle continues to go down over time, reports over the last few years have steadily maintained that the first Toyota hydrogen-powered vehicles for customers should ring up for around $50,000. Company officials cited this figure way back in 2010, and have reiterated it in subsequent years.
So, while a recent Automotive News report about the cost of Toyota's 2015 Hydrogen car doesn't offer up any new figures, it does offer an interesting pricing wrinkle. According to the report, the "cost factor" for the hydrogen vehicles will be in the $50k ballpark, meaning the retail price could be anywhere from there, up to as much as around $100,000.
Toyota settles complaints with states Attorneys General for $29 million
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Toyota announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Attorneys General of 29 states and one US territory that will resolve their complaints relating to recalls performed by the automaker from 2005-2010, including those related to sticky accelerators and malfunctioning floor mats that may have contributed to cases of unintended acceleration.
The settlement includes a payout of $29 million to be divided among the states and US territory, as well as a commitment from Toyota "to take steps to make vehicle information more easily accessible to consumers to help them operate their vehicles safely and make more informed choices." The settlement also has Toyota continuing its rapid-response service teams and quality field offices that were put in place shortly after the largest of the recalls from 2010, as well as a "range of customer care amenities for owners of vehicles subject to certain recalls," though the press release below isn't specific about what those amenities might be.
This settlement marks the second major step in the last few months that Toyota has taken to settle legal disputes surrounding the unintended acceleration recalls, the first being a $1.4 billion settlement to address economic loss suffered by owners of current and past Toyota vehicles that may have lost value on account of these recalls.
Toyota GT86 14R-60 shows how to do lightweight at a steep price
Sat, 11 Oct 2014Toyota is finally making good on its Griffon concept from last year with this limited-edition 14R-60 that basically hops through the Toyota Racing Development catalog to imagine the ultimate lightweight GT86 (the continental relative to the Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z). Unfortunately, it's not coming stateside, and even if this modded Toyobaru were coming here, you might not want to pay the rather steep price.
Like the concept, the 2.0-liter boxer engine still makes the same 197 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. However, the drivetrain isn't entirely untouched thanks to a new air filter, engine oil cooler, a reinforced clutch, lightweight flywheel, and mechanical limited-slip differential from TRD. The six-speed transmission is also tweaked, with different gearing in first and second and an altered final drive ratio.
To keep things planted the suspension gets a new coilovers, a V-shaped tower brace in the front and another in the rear. Improved deceleration comes thanks to upgraded brakes. There also are even more goodies on the outside, including a complete body kit that includes a carbon-fiber roof and massive rear spoiler. The stock wheels are replaced with 18-inch forged magnesium units, as well.
