Toyota Celica old gen

Benson · 18th February 2008, 11:37

This is a Toyota Celica Old Generation 70's to the best of my knowledge.. Correct if wrong. It was red earlier. Painted red by Toyato Tech guys and they also put racing stripes.

gives a very Mustangy vibe

Looks good, but somehow i dont like the alloys on this certain car. I am sure many members will agree to it. Huhhhh Neva mind..

Wow! It certainly does not look like a toyota!! Has a very strong flavour of the mustang fastback, the charger and the challenger R/t!! i love it!!!

P.S: The alloys look totally out of place on it though!

i believe a similar car had been posted on this long ago,that time it was red/orange and had cheap plastic wheelcaps..is this same car?

and i too agree the wheels dont go well with the car

Yes, indeed this is the first gen. celica!
Gosh! it looks like a pure American muscle car.

The side profile makes it look so much like the Mustang!A 5-spoke alloy would have looked better on this Celica.

It certainly looks more like a Mustang for me too. Looks more like an American one rather a Toyota.

Someone please buy this car and plonk a 2JZ into it!!!!! It looks really nice as it is!!!

an old beauty,it had to be in a good shape though.flamming red color with white stripes would have been better.

i remember Hammond from TG drives a same color (Mustang though) in one of the shows; previous session.

Benson · 19th February 2008, 12:05

pictures make it look deceivingly similar to mustang but its size is much smaller. Not bigger than an esteem in reality.

I am really looking for the first generation celica, if someone could help me out and tell me where this particular celica is or if you have come across one.
Thank you.
