Hey Guys, New to the forum and I just recently purchased myself a 76 Liftback! I'm here to soak up some knowledge and get this thing back on the road!

Here's the GT:

P.S. The car has been sitting for 20+ years.

Nice car ! Is that an aftermarket taillight ? The wheels are interesting, must be a shield behind them . Chuck

Thank you! I agree with you 100% on the smily bumpers! Not to sure what I'm going to do with the interior but it makes for an interesting topic with any age group!

Thanks! Tail lights are off a 69 Camaro an the guy did a really good job mounting them in there. Can't find to much info on the wheels all I know is they are 14x6 American racing wheels brand. An yes there is a shield mounted behind them.

I remember seeing that car for sale. I was half tempted to drive to AZ to get it, but the taillights was a deal breaker. Nice find.
Welcome aboard! :wave:

I like them as well. Kinda wish they were wide or more aggressive offset.

I almost bought this car myself, but being a '76, it didn't quite fit the rest collection (3x '77 LB).

I think the tail lights look awesome! They fit the car really well.

Been watching this show up and drop from the classifieds for a couple years now..
I'm glad it finally found a proud owner. :2thumbs:
Thought about grabbing it myself there for a minute but not a huge liftback fan.
anyway welcome to the site :wave:

You are correct! They are celica/supra seats. I have a receipt for the 80's when the old owner purchased them along with 5 point Speedway harnesses!
