Description

1976 Toyota Celica Liftback. Mileage is super low, at 28,179 miles.The car was purchased by the original owner in Oregon. When he passed away in 1986, the car was stored in a garage by his wife at 13,100 miles.When she passed way in 2013, the car was sold by her son to a Dealer (Exotic Classic Motorcars) on the east coast.I purchased the car from this dealer Jan 2014 and had it shipped to Santa Rosa, Ca. I am the 3rd owner.The carwasdriven regularly since. (Alway passedCalifornia emission, as recently as Jan2018).The car was maintained as expected. Engine oil was changed regularly, every 5,000 miles. All otherfluids were drained, the systems flushed and refilled with fresh fluids. (trans, brake system, rear axle, power steering). Brakes,including rotors and drums, have been replaced. (2) out of (4) tires should be replaced soon.The car is original, except for added power steering.The car came from the factory with standard steering. I converted the steering to power steering from a 1977Celica. (1976 Celicas did not come with power steering).In orderto install the pulleysetc, I replaced thehead with one from a later 1977 20R engine. The original head does nothave the necessarymounting holes, it goes with the car. (not that you ever want to revert back to standard steering).The paint is original, may have been repainted along the belt line, started to fadeand has a few blemishes. There is a small rust spot on the lower part of the right, rear fender,just behind the wheel opening. See picture. The car is otherwise rust free.Front windshield has been replaced, due to stone chips, the new windshield is chips free... All other glassis original.All gages, including the clock, work. Original, factory installed AM/FM Radio works.Car runs and drives well and straight, does not pull to either side uponbreaking.Interior is in excellent condition. The dash is crack free but discoloreddue to the extremelyhot sun here in California, To protect it further, I have installed a dash cover. The velcro can be removed. The original carpeting shows fading, where floor mats were located and in the rear cargo area. The right shock tower hump cover shows cracks, the left is OK.The original door cards and seat covers are in excellent condition. All other Interior, gage facia, andcenterconsole is undamaged and in perfect condition.The car is absolutelyrust free, exceptfor the above-mentioned rust spot.
