Paint and Body MotoeXotica is pleased to offer another rare
Japanese legend, a very original two-owner 1976 Toyota Celica GT!
This Celica has spent its life under two owners both in the
California, where the car was originally purchased at Toyota Center
in San Mateo. Remaining with the car is the original purchase
order, stating all of the options and the final sale price of
$5,300. California dry and warm climate was an ideal for preserving
this Celica GT, both the paint and body are original and in as good
of condition as an all original 1976 car could be in! Only minor
rock chips on the front make this paint from being perfect, however
the chips do confirm that this Toyota has never been repainted.
Toyota realized their Celica to the United States market to fill
the exploding midsize economy market, which Toyota was unable to
cover since their 800 in 1969. In general the Celica was intended
to be midsize economical that had the styling of far more expensive
cars, but without the reliability issue and most importantly the
price those car demanded. Offered in three different trim choices,
which had difference in standard equipment and performance; as
would be expect this GT model offered the most standard equipment
and performance. These first generation Celica�s can be farther
broke down into two separate model codes; RA and TA. With this
Celica model being identified has an RA24; which offered a longer
flat nose with square side indicators (to accommodate the larger
engine), restyled door vents, and the fuel door location and style
changed. This Celica GT came standard with Toyota�s 2.2L 20R four
cylinder engine, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Beside the
drivetrain the GT model is signified by �GT� stripes on the rocker
panels, steel wheels with a chrome lip, and several performance
inspired interior upgrades too. All of which are on the car and in
great condition! As previously stated the beige paint and exterior
trim are in fantastic original condition, the chrome shows
wonderfully and no signs of ageing; even the original badging are
in great condition. The contrasting �landau� brown roof section is
on par with the exterior paint as well. Taking a step inside this
classic import, the GT model was distinguished by an 8k tachometer,
a simulated woodgrain dashboard, leather wrapped 4-spoke steering
wheel, and three additional gauges too; which of course, this
Celica has and are in fantastic condition. The simulated tan
leather seats are in great condition, with little evidence of use
to be found. Matching the seats in color and condition, the carpet
is in incredible condition considering the age. The AM/FM multiplex
radio remains in the original factory position and condition.
Powered by a single overhead camshaft 2.2L four-cylinder engine,
this Toyota is a real pleasure to drive. Paired with the W50
5-speed manual transmission this Celica has no issues in modern
traffic conditions and is a true experience when the road starts
stops being straight. Air condition was optioned from the dealer
and allows this car to be driven in any weather. Also included with
this car are numerous receipts, which total in the $1,000�s, for
work completed on the car throughout its� history. These classic
Japanese�s imports are rapidly becoming sought after by collectors
and dealers alike. Most of which do not even come close to the
original condition this 1976 Celica GT is in! Now is the time to
get ahead of eventual price spike of these imports! Sold on a clean
California title with 76,6xx miles! GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN:
