  • 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

    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.

    @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.

      Unless you had the 18-R, but most of the line-up was 'meh' engine wise. That is why Toyota had the Supra.
