Hi Guys,

Im from San Diego and have had a 74 Celica that I bought for $600, in 1985 I must have put 10 grand into it before I was finished. Painted it Guard Red, The Ferrarri color and lowered it. Had that car until 89 when the timing chain finally broke and needless to say I let it go. This was probabally the thing I most regret in my Life. I have to find pictures and post soon. I am stoked to find this place and will get another one soon. I went through the entire suspension, had a Cam installed, headers and side draft webbers. This was one fast and well handeling car. I loved to take the muscel cars stop light to stop light. That was my all time fav as far as cars go.

My othe ride!!!!!

cool! to the site!

got anymore pics of your Celica?

welcome,
nice celica,

Thanks for the welocome, I need to find more pictures, this car went through 2 versions, this was the first. I later repainted as the first time the bodywork was less than perfect as I was in a hurry. I later repainted black with purple racing stipes, built a front air dam and lowered, with a full blown suspension. I put 6 hole 16" enkies with the lowest profile tires you could get at the time. The mags were cool as they had that Lambo look and the holes were painted purple. I am still looking for more pictures as they are probabaly in storage somewhere. I saw an old school celica a while back and it brought back good memories. I plan to get another soon. Was looking at the 73 for sale in Hollywood. I had the interior of my 74 absolutly perfect, searching junk yards for years. Those were the days I look back on as my favorite years with that car. It was a stunner and really fast.

Cheers,
