Hello from WNY

Post by snakeyes98 »

hi toyota folk
im kinda like a fish out of water here....
you see ive been a corvette guy my whole life.
a few years ago i had a customer telling me about this special toyota that he had. i just passed it off as another guy bragging about his car. well as luck has it he fell on hard times and now im the proud owner of a 1975 celica gt 2000 liftback. car is a unmolested two owner car. all original and rust free.(been on blocks for 20 years).i have all the original import papers and all.
im looking forward to gaining some knowledge about these cars. i don't think there are many in the states from what i can tell.
happy thanksgiving
Geo.

Welcome George, I think off hand you may be the only WNY guy here (sorry to any others that are not coming to mind). We have a few here in Ontario in NF,St.Catherines, Toronto area etc, I'm about 1 hr north of Toronto myself. So lots of guys close by. There's guys in Michigan, New England states as well When I need parts I pick up in NFNY. I actually picked up my Celica in Buffalo 5 yrs ago, it came from Texas. You will like it here, very helpful, knowledgeable people. You're in for a big shock the first time you polish here up and cruise around a bit...they attract a LOT of attention.

:cheers:
