1977 Toyota Celica GT� Same California�owner for past 19 years�
Final year for first-generation model 2L SOHC inline four-cylinder
engine with aluminum alloy heads (20R) Five-speed manual
transmission (W50) Red exterior (code 336) and black interior (code
KD23) Come by MotoeXotica Classic Cars, where we have a 1977 Toyota
Celica GT waiting for you that has resided in California with the
same owner since 1998! Built in March 1977, this car is finished in
red (code 336). The car's paint and trim are in fair condition with
visible paint fade and blemishes visible at various places around
the body. The driver's side �Celica' nameplate is missing. The
windows are in good overall shape. There is a set of louvers
covering the rear window. The tires and wheels are in good overall
condition. The car rides on General radials, size 185/70R14 at all
four corners, surrounding vented alloy wheels with beauty rings.
The car's bodywork is in good base condition, however, the driver's
side front marker light is broken. The trunk needs a thorough
cleaning. The engine bay is somewhat tidy. The car's bumpers fit
decently to the body and the battery in in very good order. This
solid California Celica is a very nice driver that can be easily
driven as is and repainted at a later date. Under the
forward-hinged hood is Toyota's 20R 2.2L SOHC four-cylinder engine
with aluminum alloy heads and two-barrel carburetor. Backing that
motor is a five-speed manual transmission (W50). Driver convenience
features include power brakes, discs in front and drums in back.
Inside, the car's seats are original and showing there age with
tears on both front seats, with the carpet only in fair shape. The
headliner is loose. The black instrument panel is in good overall
condition and has woodgrain appliqu�s. The factory four-spoke
steering wheel looks okay but the driver's sideview mirror remote
is inoperable. The inner door panels are only fair, the mirror
glass is in good order, the center console is complete and the
shifter is in good order. Completing the interior is an AM/FM
stereo with cassette deck and equalizer. The car's clock still
works. Displayed at the October 1970�Tokyo Motor Show and marketed
from December of the same year, the Celica was a two-door hardtop
coupe that emphasized styling and driving enjoyment, based on a
platform shared with the�Toyota Carina�sedan, which is one size
above the�Toyota Corolla. This car was aimed at the North American
market, and was Toyota's response to the 1964�Ford Mustang�(Pony
car), which also was a standard sedan (Ford Falcon) with stylized
2+2 bodywork. Over the generations, the Celica evolved into a
"sports car." In October 1975, the entire Celica lineup was given a
facelift, with a revised front bumper and grille arrangement. The
new model was coded RA24 for the American spec with 20R engine. The
RA series also had an elongated nose to accommodate the larger
engine. The door vents, fuel filler cap, and interior were also
different between the TA and RA series. The top-line GT included a
five-speed�manual transmission, rocker panel GT stripes, and styled
steel wheels with chrome trim rings. Competition to this Toyota in
1977 included Buick's Skyhawk, Chevrolet's Vega and Monza, Ford's
Mustang II, Dodge's Colt and Challenger, Oldsmobile's Starfire,
Plymouth's Sapporo and Pontiac's Sunbird. This car is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 69,371 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a
clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Click
