Bama Newbie

Post by nickcelica »

Anytime I can be referred to as a "newbie" I'll take it. I still have my first 74 Celica I bought with 6K miles along with a couple of parts cars and one pristine one owner 74 GT I picked up in Texas a few years ago. I used to wrench on Toyota's at a dealership and then later in my own shop from 1975 to 1980. I still love wrenching on my cars and answering all the questions from onlookers when I take them out for spin. Looking forward to sharing info with you guys and gals.

Thanks for the compliment! I worked at a dealer back in the 70's and into the 80's and I've never seen another vinyl top go all the way up to the side mirrors like this one. Very strange.

Nice cars! My 75 had a black vinyl roof, but it didn't line the doors. But that was an ST and your car is a GT. Maybe that's the difference.
