this is my new 1973 toyota celica st. i got this as a gift from my grandmothers sister. it has been sitting for 13 years. the car originally belonged to her husbands brother. he was the original owner. 67,000 miles on it. my grandmother told me he only used it to go to the track. he drove a work truck most of the time. he passed away in 1998 and since he lived with my aunt she took over the car...even though she didnt have a drivers liscense. she never drove it once. it sat uncovered in an apartment stall for 13 years. running great the day it was parked. now i have it and everything is almost like new. the pictures dont do the interior justice. the headliner is perfect. visors perfect, dash perfect,..everything perfect. not even an @$$ dent in the seats! so basically this weekend i have to change the fluids out, put a battery in, and service the brakes. i cant wait!

GORGEOUS! Just a flat out beauty. That interior is flawless. You've got a really rare car here in that kind of shape. Not that you want to sell it but if you did it'd bring good money and I'd be in a line of guys with my wallet out.

Now. You need an 18rg and a 5 speed.

wow very clean

@ cowboyian youre right not that i would sell it, but if i did, what would someone pay for it?

[spacecowboyian]

I've seen worse go for 3-6k depends on how badly someone wants it... and also if there is any rust underneath. From the looks of things topside I'd say it's going to be clean underneath.

worst part was i found a brand new in box car cover for the celica in the back bedroom! why the hell was it not on the car? i could only imagine what it would look like.

what a beautifull car!!
really an amazing find. all original,nice colour and it seems in mint condition.
i can only dream of a find like this. all original mint condition celica's like yours have left my part of the planet long long time ago.
congratulations

greetings,patrick...

yes it is an all original, numbers matching 18-rc, 67,000 on it. i will have all my pictures up soon. honestly the only thing keeping this car from being almost perfect is the front bumper guard, which someone on this site has for me and the back bench has a little wear and tear. which is weird because the fronts are immaculate.
