high, i'm new...and looking for my first (1st gen)
Posted: August 8th, 2009, 5:14 am
hi everyone,
i live in the los angeles area and drive a 96 v6 camry. i currently don't own a celica, but i used to own a baby blue 81 coupe gt that i sadly had to get rid of a few years ago.
anyways, i was on classic-celica.com a while back (must have been about 6 years ago) and i see some familiar names here but i doubt anyone remembers me since i didn't post much (and when i did it was the old "what engine setup/swap is best" type of questions that are still fun to read every now and then).
now i'm back and am considering a first 1st gen celica (along with a mk2 supra and lexus sc300/400) as a daily driver. i've been looking for one that's smog exempt (seen a couple ok 74's on craigslist), just because...or maybe a 76-77 that's already got a good setup. maybe i can get that 20r/22r hybrid i've always wanted in my old 2nd gen, hehe.
although...my real dream is to stick a 1uz in a 1st or 2nd gen celica or supra. one day..
if anyone has any leads for a reasonably priced 1st gen that requires little to no work to use as a daily driver located in the LA area, please let me know.
see you guys around
