This Toyota Celica got away, but there are more like it here.

1980 Toyota Celica GT Coupe

Sold for $12,750 on 8/28/22

This 1980 Toyota Celica GT coupe is finished in beige over tan vinyl and cloth upholstery and is powered by a carbureted 2.2-liter inline-four paired with a three-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes 14″ aluminum wheels, rear windshield louvers, pop-out rear quarter windows, air conditioning, and a cassette stereo. The car was reportedly purchased new in North Carolina and was acquired by the seller in 2021. Work performed under current ownership is said to have included cleaning and resealing the fuel tank, cleaning the fuel lines, and adjusting the carburetor, in addition to replacing the fuel pump, oil pan gasket, and transmission pan gasket. This Celica shows 97k miles and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature and a South Carolina title in the names of the seller and his spouse.

The car is finished in beige and features black side moldings, bumpers, and side mirrors, in addition to a louvered rear window, pop-out rear quarter windows, and dual side mirrors. Rust was repaired on the bottom of the right-rear quarter panel and the area repainted during current ownership. Photos from the work are viewable in the gallery.

The 14″ aluminum wheels are mounted with 185/70 Hankook Optimo H724 tires. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums.

The 2+2 cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in tan vinyl and plaid cloth, along with matching door panels. Appointments include air conditioning, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, and a cassette stereo. The graphic equalizer is inoperable.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames an 8k-rpm tachometer, an 85-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 97k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.2-liter 20R inline-four features a single carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. An oil change, coolant flush, and transmission service were performed in 2021.

Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.
