Sep 25, 2016 · I've always thought they look like 3/4 scale american muscle cars. A number of older Japanese cars give that effect, particularly in liftback form (a prime example that comes to mind is the C110 generation Skyline), but few of them are as dead-on as the first gen Celica hatchback, especially ones like OP's with the three brakelights on each side.

The 70's era Celicas are my favorite cars, in GTA the Savestra come the closest to a 77 Celica the Michelli GT look very close to a 73 Celica. These are mine. Reply reply

Mar 1, 2023 · Hi all, I am a 9th Gen Corolla/2nd Gen Matrix owner and have always been interested in Celicas, and like Matrix’s, I feel were prematurely discontinued. I found a 77 Celica on offer up for $4,900 which seems awfully low. Going to see tomorrow, but is there anything you can recommend?

Aug 23, 2012 · I had one without power steering back in the 80s -- a 77 GT liftback -- it was a great car, but that was over 20 years ago. I'm sure they age, is my point, so the problems I experienced driving the car may likely differ slightly from yours. It was one of the most practical cars I ever owned -- got about 25 mpg from what I remember.

Mar 4, 2020 · my mom has a 77 gt liftback. had it restored in the mid 200's. Light Blue Metallic #861 with a black interior. she and my dad bought one new in 1977, same body color, but with the white interior.

Apr 26, 2024 · The Celica is a great starter car for someone willing to put the work in, and if you need help in that regard you've come to the right place. Members Online Just bought a 2000 Celica GTS stick shift with 130k miles.

Feb 13, 2022 · The first gen Celica was a knock off of the 1968 Camaro and the 2nd gen fastback was a knock off of the Mustang. They were VERY popular once the OPEC embargo kicked in and gas prices spiked because they had 4Cyl engines and got 25+ MPG, while still looking like a classic muscle car.

Oct 18, 2023 · You hardly ever see a 3 piece rear spoiler on a 1st gen Celica. I have an RA20 Celica with the flairs fiberglassed in (no fasteners can be seen) and a 3 piece rear spoiler. TBH, I'm not sure how much I like the rear spoiler any more, but it was a thing back then. Great paint job, what engine does it have and what mods?
