This is my 1976 Toyota Celica GT Fastback. This car runs and drive great and the odometer shows only 41K miles. I am not the original owner of this vehicle so I can not say if the mileage is accurate or not, but gudging but the over-all fantastic condition of the car, I would guess it was accurate. All of the lights, wipers, horn, turn signals, hi/low beams, radio, work as they should. The Celica GT was repainted years ago and the paint still looks absolutely fantastic remaining bright, deep and glossy. The factory, numbers matching 20R motor starts by simply tapping the key, she purrs like a kitten once running, has strong compression and pulls hard. Additionally, the car runs smoothly and shifts through all the gears great. The interior is in awesome shape as well for being all original, other than the front seats which have two covers over them. The dash is close to perfect as is the headliner although the carpet is slightly faded due to age/sun. The motor is completely stock other than the addition of side-draft Webber carbs. and a manual choke. The body has no rust that I can find anywhere other than a small spot on the inside of the hood (can't be seen from the outside) about the size of a quarter.. The Celica GT currently has some old school American Racing aluminum wheels with tires that have 90% rubber remaining, center caps are rusty. Please note, although the tires have fantastic tread although all four are severely dry rotted and really should be replaced. The car also features very rare and difficult to locate rear window louvers. The Celica GT also has air conditioning although it is not charged an does not blow cold air currently. This is truly a rare car to find, especially in this condition. This lil' fastback was Toyota's solution to the more popular and expensive fastback mustang!

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
Scion pondering move upmarket?
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Scion is simultaneously celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the 10 Series models and trying to figure out what to do with itself over the next ten years. Once a go-to consideration for young, first-time buyers who wanted something cool and different, in 2013 it has a model everyone is still talking about in the FR-S, a model few are still talking about in the iQ, and three models in between in the tC, xB and xD that make everyone wonder, "What happened?"
Automotive News spoke to Toyota's North American CEO, Jim Lentz - he was the VP in charge of Scion when it launched - about the options, and Lentz said one of them could be a move upmarket to challenge the established luxury brands that are moving downmarket. "There's going to be a big need in the $25,000 range for a fun-to-drive, nice-looking, value-oriented product," he said, and the FR-S, which starts at $25,255, could provide the platform for Scion to climb up a notch or two in price and perception. An idea like this could conceivably work in tandem with a proposal to move entry-level Scion products over to the Toyota brand - but remember, this is all just ideas on a whiteboard at the moment.
As opposed to an "entry-luxury fighter," the brand could swing back to the other option that was considered when it was formed, directly challenging the Korean makes that have usurped its cachet with first-time buyers. Lentz said Scion could go either way, and the tone of the piece seems to indicate that the final direction is still a ways away from being resolved.
Toyota Camry, Lexus RX to get aluminum parts
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Ah, aluminum. The lightweight, strong material has long held a following within the premium ranks, but as Ford prepares to launch an aluminum F-150, the material is gaining acceptance among more mainstream automakers. Toyota is one such brand, with a new report indicating that the Japanese giant will add aluminum bits and bobs to some of its upcoming vehicles.
These won't be full, aluminum-intensive treatments like the F-150, however. Automotive News reports that an aluminum hood and liftgate will be coming to the 2016 Lexus RX, and following that, the Camry will get a bonnet built from Element 13 for model year 2018.
As AN points out, Toyota is no stranger to aluminum, using it in Japanese-built models like the Prius and Scion FR-S. The RX and Camry, though, will mark the first time the company's North American factories will use the material, and they'll do so on a significantly larger scale, owing to the higher volumes that the Camry and RX represent.
