- This video is part of the #Classic_Celica series.
Deciding to buy a first edition Toyota Celica is only part of the leap to ownership, the huge hurdle would be to be able to detect the difference between each model and find a clean, rust-free example that is complete without any missing parts.
Full details that complement this video can be found here - www.carsaddiction.com/article...
However, when you find a complete Celica, do not be overwhelmed and agree to the asking price. There are so many trim levels, that once Celica could be significantly higher just because it is a matching number car or has the sought-after and rare original 18-R engine. And throughout this video, I briefly talk about how to educate yourself on the various differences.
Back story: I knew I wanted to buy a 71-77 Celica, when I first lied eyes on it at a local dealership in 2007. These cars are uncommon, hence why I had never seen one before, and back then I wasn't able to afford the asking prices. I occasionally went to see a few here and there that were for sale, but all needed work, some rusted, some without an engine, some in boxes. But when this olive green (Paint code: 630) became available in 2018, it was at the right price and the condition was outstanding for a 40+ year old car.

I loved my 1977 5 speed Cellica GT Lift back. With the hatchback window levelers. Absolutely gorgeous. One of only a couple of 5 speeds in the USA. SO FRICKING COOL.
I had a 77 silver hatchback. I had a nova 74 that needed a new transmission, so I bought it from the guy at the junkyard in Vermont where I was living. The car was very rusted but ran like a top. will never forget it. Have to get one now. they are classics. whatever, sedan or hatchback whatever comes up, I will buy on in the next few years
I’ve got a 1977 celica, I’ve had it for a year or so. It’s like my weekend car.
It’s cold 🥶 very now. Where I live. Temps in the minuses -3 to -7.
I’m struggling to know where the antifreeze goes. ? Any help, would appreciate it 😊. Thanks
mine was silver what color is urs
@@markdamstra Mine is a coup, Gun Metal grey, with silver alloys, Beige leather interior.
More or less fully restored. The previous owner put on a GT Grill bonnet. Has a GT mean look to it.
@@markdamstra I’ve taken a video of the car.

Great video! Bought my Celixa ta22 ST a few weeks ago. A Europe spec unfortunately a lot of rust but nothing a lot of work can't fix! Great project and a awesome car!!
I had a 71 or 72 Celica ST which I bought when I finished college back in 1972. I paid $1,200 for it. I drove it 2 years then sold it for what I originally paid for it. It was a great car.
Interesting video, learnt so much about these classic beauties thanks to this video 👍
Thank you for sharing this Information on YT. I owned a 73 Celica and my brother had a 76 and I never knew this information.
i had a 77 GT. i remember it well. bought it in about 1992 or so. Put a TRD cam in it, Tokiko springs, KYB shocks, and Weber 32/36 downdraft
@5:30 The R was also made in 1970 or the 1971 model year. I have one. It's an RA20 that had the 2L 18R engine in the ST trim. The engines in the US were 8R and 18R with 18RC for smog and 8RB for dual SU type carbs (I also have this engine setup). It's kinda odd to see a TA20 with the gas tank on the side, I thought that was for the TA21. The RA20 is very, very rare and the flat tail lights were all red.
Good video, very informative, TX!!
Excellent video

GREAT video! Went to your website though and all of the photos are missing?
That's strange I do see the photos on www.carsaddiction.com/articles/2018/10/toyota-celica-1st-generation-buying-guide or is it another link you are referring to?
Think I like the facelift more, looks mean!
Bonjour super vidéo j'aimerais savoir ce que vous aviez changer au niveau moteur. Est la ligne d'échappement merci
Thank you. The brake components where changed - front callipers and master cylinder.
Tengo un celica del 74 y quiero saber que motor le hago poner
Hi I have a 1974 GT Celica and I want to find parts for it. Where can I find parts for this car that I'm trying to restore, can any body help?
Although factory air conditioning was available the air conditioning in that car is not factory.
What did these cars come with 95hp 4 cylinder engines. Pretty sad.
Unless you had the 18-R, but most of the line-up was 'meh' engine wise. That is why Toyota had the Supra.
@@Carsaddiction There were no Supras in 1971 to 1977. We were stuck with these gutless Celicas.
