That mount was for an 8track tape deck. It was a quick removal. They were pretty expensive in 74. I bought a radio shack in 75 and paid about $200 for it and another $200 for speakers. I was making $4.75 an hour.

I had a 74 ST, red with black interior. Picked it up in 1984, my senior year of high school. The 4-speed manual redlined at 95mph, not too quickly. The vertical weather stripping between the windows wore out and in Vermont in the 80’s, I would freeze my butt off in the winter as the weak little heater could not keep up. I lovingly washed it every week and waxed it once a month, driving it all through college until the cancer of rust finally ate it up. I remember those little logos behind the head rests like it was yesterday. My aftermarket tape deck had “play”, “ffwd” and eject and you had to manually flip it over. It came with an AM radio and the rear view mirrors were a single view, they didn’t even have a day/night modes as it was the entry level model. What nice memories watching you wash it up. Thanks for doing this project.

Back in the late 80's I had a 74 Celica GT 5 speed; it was red with black interior. The engine died, so I sourced an 18R-G, it had side draft carbs. I replaced the points with an optical ignition module. For the exhaust at first, I ran straight pipe to a Monza tip, later I put a cherry bomb on it to quiet it down a bit.

Hi Sarah, when I was restoring my classic car, I took the vinyl off the back of the front seats. I had them put that vinyl on the bottom and bolster of the front seat that needed replaced. Then you can replace the portion that you took off of both front seatbacks with a very close vinyl material and it won’t be as noticeable or even noticeable at all. Love your shows. Can’t wait to see this scorching rubber on the road.

I had a '76 Celica ST and in 1984 or 85 I needed to replace the seats and carpet. I went to a Pick & Pull and I found one that had been totalled but it was pristine inside, only had abt 20K miles on it. The P&P owner said, you can have whatever you need for $150. My friend and I in a few hours, stripped that thing to the bone on the interior leaving bare metal. The owner stared in awe as we drove out with a truck bed full of the interior. So this video is bringing back memories of that swap. it was certainly fun!

Pioneer and Craig made FM/Cassette players that fit into slide mounts like the one under your dash. Follow the wiring from that slide mount and you might find it's hooked up to ignition positive, all four aftermarket speakers, and an antenna tap with a T at the end, between the factory antenna and the factory AM radio. You could take the stereo out and put it in the trunk or take it with you to avoid being a theft target.

Mom's 1974 Celica was the first car I could legally drive. Those woven sisal floormats were a dealer offered option, They mimic the style common in German cars of the period. I drove that little mini-pony car every chance I had. Other than a tendency toward stubborn understeer it was a delightful little car. I ordered an ADDCO rear sway bar from J.C. Whitney and bolted it onto the rear axle. Mom appreciated sporty handling cars ( having had a XK120 and a TR3 before I came along) and approved of the results. After 4 years of shrugging off my boy-racer abuse I managed to roll it over seven times and land upside down in a ditch one Christmas day. After being recovered and back on it's wheels the little Yota fired right up and ran fine ! It was replaced with a newer model Celica which had a five speed and a larger four banger. That one was mangled bay a hail storm and replaced by YET ANOTHER CELICA...

When filling out incorporation forms in Japan, the furigana for TOYODA requires 4 boxes to filled whereas TOYOTA requires 3. In Japanese, the number 4 sounds like "die" and is considered bad luck, so they shortened the name from TOYODA トヨダ to TOYOTA トヨタ. Hospitals and hotels may also not have a 4th floor due to considering it bad luck in Japan.

My dad was a director of the Toyota dealership back in 1970's in Australia and in 1972 I purchased a Celica (pronounced 'Suleeka' btw not Sell-eka like you guys). I ordered a GT in iridescent dark green with tan interior but due to supply issues from Japan (yep even in 1972) I had to accept a standard version in silver with black interior. I think it cost $175 less than the GT at about $3300. The original steering wheel was an imitation wood wheel that was amazing and looked real. The car was absolutely the best thing ever....no power and you could drive in flat out every where. I loved it.

The woven floor mats were an aftermarket item in the '70's. I liked your upside down video when you mentioned that a company in Australia might be able to make replacement carpets for you. The silver bracket to the left of the steering wheel was for aftermarket stereos or tape players (cassette or 8 track). It made them removable so that they wouldn't be stolen.

I really appreciate how much effort you put into cleaning and restoring parts rather than just throwing wads of cash at it and replacing everything.

That Celica is a great piece of history. It’s in amazing shape and rare to find. If I remember correctly they were Japans answer to the American pony car and modeled after the Mustang.

A friend of mine had one of these in 74', it was a SR5, not only was the car pretty fast, it handled really well, I got to drive it on a trip through the mountains in Oregon, what a great car.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who leaves stuff from the previous owner. I've found a few small kids toys in the seat pockets in my last two. They stayed.

Sarah, according to my husband, that slide mount plate that was on the left side of the steering column, was probably used for a portable Citizens Band Radio.

That bank receipt was from Tillie the Teller, one of the first ATM's that were from First National Bank here in Atlanta. ATM's are of course a part of everyday life now but back on the mid 70's, it was a first of its kind and really innovative. Prior to that you had to go inside the bank or go to the drive-up teller to get a cash withdrawal. So cool you found that! That Celica is like a time capsule...
