I always wondered where that car went. You know I almost bought that 2 or three owners before you! haahaa! Very nice car, keep it up!

Thanks, I figured someone would recognize it. I'd be interested in more of the car's history if you know it. I want to make it a "restomod" and not mess it up.

Very nice! I wish I could afford that car back then. Really like the set up. If ever you decide to ditch those wheels I'd be very much interested.

That is one of my old Celica's. The other was a red 74 GT. The 74 went to Idaho sold it on ebay. This I sold on Ebay also. I remember seeing the car leave on the flatbed on its way to its new home in San Diego.

I got this car from Jogi Luz. The car was around the Los Angeles are for a long time. Always had a very nice body. It was painted already. I added the Wheels ( purchased from Mr. Luz) and tires ( from a Hermosa Beach tire store.They were actually sitting on the shelf!). I added an Auto Power roll bar, Rear Spoiler, Upholstery(seats).

I regret selling this car very nice solid Celica. I am very happy to see it is still with rodog. It is nice to see it is cared for and in a secure garage.

Very nice family! He ,his wife, and brother came up and bought the car paid cash and I inclued a van load of spare parts includeing a mint N.O.S. black dash pad still in the Toyota box. Wish I had the dash pad now.

well I am starting over with the 72 I just bought and have a lot of cosmetic work to do. I have owned 12 71-72 Celica'sin my lifetime and am up for the challenge!

It makes me happy to see the car well cared for. Looks good. i will post some pictures of when I had it once I figure out how to! I am older 47 and well not so computer savy!!!!

You can find my primer'd grey 77 ra24 around Spring Valley/Bonita/Chula Vista....im on the verge of getting a so-so paint job just to keep me happy for the next year or so. the car was given to me primered so its about time i gave it some character...

on another thread i inquired about the 74 gtv's greenish color because i am torn between that color and the midnight blue color...you know what, i think im gonna start a poll

fsamonte....dude we should all meet sometime in Nov...at least for a small meeting to figure out how we can get the rest of the SD locals.

22RTE, sounds like a plan. I haven't been out since the July Qualcomm show with Eugene and the fellas. Thanks Zippo (Tony) for the opportunity, been looking for a car for awhile and as busy as I am, I had to take that car off your hands. I have a big brake kit and some other plans for the car, I'll make a project thread when I get some definite plan together.
