The Toyota Celica first hit US shores in 1971 as the Japanese translation of the Ponycar. The Celica might not have been powered by fuel thirsty V8s, but the long-hood short-deck styling was perfect for a 7/8th scale Mustang/Camaro/Challenger. This next Celica looks to have survived the years better than most of its factory siblings and is covered in a fabulous shade of lime green. Find this 1972 Toyota Celia ST offered for $8400 in Cypress, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

ReplyDeleteThose blue plates get me...almost possible to pretend there arent 40 million people living in Cali and it might as well be New Jersey now with more sun. That said.where are the engine shots etc.Looks like someone paid a pretty penny for someone elses shine and sell and wants to move on now.......
ReplyDelete"Deleted by author"-- guessing it was a fake ad, since the price was too low for a perfect old Celica!
