1982 Toyota Celica GT Lift Back from California
Description
This 1982 Celica GT Lift back was originally sold and driven in California for a period of time, then in was registered and driven in British Columbia.
It came to Cobourg, Ontario in June 2007 and I bought it May 2011.
I did Krown oil spray at least once since I've owned it.
The car is currently licensed and insured so it can be test driven.
The body and under body are very sound and solid. All fuel, brake lines, floors and frame members are in great shape.
It just has spot rusting on the outer body.
The rear hatch has no rust . As you can see from the pictures, this Celica does have some poor looking factory body side moldings which is typical of these vintage Toyota's.
The worst part of this car is the windshield will leak some water and should be repaired.
The odometer reads 212,664 miles, which is a very low average of 5,300 miles per year.
It has a sunroof, 22 R engine, rear wheel drive, automatic transmission, factory A/C, power rack and pinion steering and power brakes. The brass radiator was re-cored in 2021.
Since I've owned it, I've replaced the brake master cylinder, rebuild front brake calipers and replaced the rear wheel cylinders. The handbrake works as it should.
It has a rear sunshade spoiler on the tailgate hatch. This car did not originally come with this option but it is an OEM Toyota factory part.
The aluminium rims are from a 1986 Corolla GTS with P195/60R14 Toyo tires.
I would think this car would pass a DOT safety inspection the way it is.
I can respond faster to phone calls/text messages compared to Kijiji e-mails.
I'm located about 15 minutes west of the Toronto Airport. Winston Churchill and Steeles area.
