Damon - Charlotte, NC 73 Celica ST 18RC
Posted: June 26th, 2009, 9:12 am
Was going to purchase a 76 Celica GT here in Charlotte, NC, but guy beat me to it. So flew up to Massachusetts, and purchased a 73 Celica ST and drove it back 16 hours along Highway 81. Gorgeous trip, but was a bit concerned that the vehicle wouldn't make it. Vehicle uses oil, so oil pressure gauge was up and down, and so was temp. Anyway Highway 81 coming from North to South is absolutely gorgeous. I bought the car from a gentleman named Jose N. and he did a great job on the car. Paid $2500 for the car, and am happy. Still a ways to go, but love the car, and kudos to Jose and the time he spent the last 3 years restoring the car to it's current condition. I'm an IT guy by trade, but currently do Tech Support for Vonage (Internet Phone). I'm 39 and have a beautiful twins (boy and girl) who just had their 13th birthday on Father's Day (I missed

Anyone know where I can get stock seatbelts? lol
Ok, I'll post some pics. I have to get g/f's camera.
Yeah, I guess our 16 hour trip pales in comparison. A 3 day drive is an odyssey. I'm sure he'll never forget. I won't forget my trip. It's etched in my memory. And thanks for the welcome and compliments.

. I did the same thing you did, drove a celica for about 16 hours too, didn't know what was gonna happen and that's scary. Glad you made it without problems.
