New Guy from NH, With a Ra24 Ex Rally car!

Post by Greatdivide1 »

Hey all soo this is my first Celica. Im a BMW and Rover guy. 8) But this came up for the right price soooo why not!

So about this car it was built in late 70's early 80's. Its a 1976 Ra24 with 18R-G with duel solix carbs ,reground cams, W50 tranny Lsd rear. Race cage,Duel Fuel pumps. Allison electronic ignition....Oh and its a TOTAL BASKET CASE!!!!

Original owner and drive was Aleksandr Kishineski National Pro Rally driver and SCCA member... Till he died (supposedly in a gun fight between him his gf and her lover) where they all died!! Then sat for years and was bought by Robert Elliot Who held the reccord up Mnt Washington in a 2wd Vw Rabbit or golf.

Lol Crazy story! But heres a link to all the pics im taking along the way!! Feel free to to ask any questions.

The car has some neat history. Are you going to restore it as the rally car or a clean slate?
