Rare Forgotten True Hardtop ~ Toyota Celica GT Classic

[@mrtracy6398]

i had four of these cars in the late 70s ,can't believe i let them go

[@mishimposble]

This was my first car in the early 90's. 1976 Toyota Celica GT 2 door. Silver, manual trans, moon mags, chrome numbers, black and simulated wood interior.. Put a new clutch and stereo in it. Wish I still had it !

[@jeffbudgen538]

Me too mate, me too😞

[@bevrek]

Snap and snap.

[@streetsandpeaks3013]

We had a '73 GT when I was a kid...spent too much time cramped in those back seats but eventually learned to drive in it. Best car ever ... right up there with our '70 240Z and my 2013 FRS.

[@fleetsinc.8671]

FRS, haven't driven that or the S2K, one day. This car though is very raw, and nostalgic. I'm not a writer, so it's hard for me to put into words the driving experience, and how metallically this vehicle telegraphs. Thanks for your input.

[@jonbertocchi173]

bringing as a scion frs into the mix? this is a classic car vid. FRS shouldn't be mentioned. especially since it's lame.

[@chrisreynolds6143]

Jon BERTOCCHI it's a Toyota coupe and was talking about driving experience but cool story bud I can tell you know all about these cars

[@gator4496]

THAT is one sweet Celica GT , They were great back in the day & this one looks better than new

[@lzrdkng7756]

Wait until THIS SPRING...Just got done completely deep cleaning the Interior, next we're refreshing the Paint & making a little faster. I'm the CURRENT Owner of THIS 1976 Celica GT. Follow the Car's New Chapter in The Midwest if you'd like!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/haiVfZqhopekrdU

[@dougmyers6013]

My brother has a 74 GT JDM Liftback right hand drive with 3TG, car is a ball to drive the way he built it.

[@CraigRobinsonPhotographer]

Thanks, man! This reminds me so much of my 1st car. It was the year after this one, a 1977 Celica GT coupe, but I painted it this exact color, even the spoiler I added was the same. Mine had wider tires and chrome racing wheels, but those probably only slowed it down due to weight. ;) Great blast from the past!

[@nicks.9937]

I owned a 1600 st when I was 18 I loved it ,it was also in white wish I still had it today

[@mackchannel6348]

When America was forgetting how to make cars, Japan was just getting into its stride. I hope this sweet ride is still cruising around somewhere.

[@deanotune]

Did my apprenticeship with toyota in the early-mid70's so got to drive these brand new. Was always one my favorite toyotas (My heart belonged the Crown and Corona mk2 )

[@19chucki74]

Man, that is a beautiful Celica. It's hard to find those JDM bumpers though. Move the license plate back down to the bumper, and you have sold me. Always will be my favorite foreign car of all time.

[@nickcoope5952]

gorgeous. in the early eighties my mates were buying these for peanuts and rallying them. they must have trashed at least six of them. so sad now.

[@Sqvirt22]

Looks like a little challenger 🥺 Love that this is filmed in Long Beach, maybe I'll see it driving around one day?

[@dmanalang9037]

Very clean, nice car. Thanks for sharing, it brought back good childhood memories.

[@bildillamagasin]

Very pretty car! I need to start restoring my 72 cup and 77 Liftback again soon!

[@R3YNZ]

Crazy how the 73 looks more like a Camaro and the 77 looks more like a Mustang. It's like do you want a mini Mustang or a mini Camaro! That's pretty awesome! Beautiful car btw!

[@MegaChico87]

I just bought one today and they are amazing bone stock one owner celica

[@stephencaine1548]

Man, I wish my '76 had looked that good!

[@CVM222VOLT]

My first car was a 74 Celica ST so this brought bacm great memories. In a perfect world they would have brought out the FRS under tbe Toyota label as the new Celica

[@Jobbazz]

Craig VanMeter frs/brz/GT86 is a homage to the AE86 which as a cheap lightweight sports car Toyota made

[@TwaityZee]

Beautiful car! And i didnt know someone could actually fit in the back seat

[@nugley]

Thanks. Inspirational. I bought a TA22 last week and will throw a video up on nugley soon asking for advice.

[@streetsandpeaks3013]

@celica freak - don't tell me you haven't driven it. Dude I have had 4 Celicas and Supras since the 70's and loved them all. The '73 was a rally car and my FRS is the closest thing anyone has made since. Better than all the 80's Celicas and Supras I drove without a doubt. In 20 years the 86's will be the car kids talk about just like we do the Celica and the Hachi Roku.

I had a 76. I sent it off to get the engine right, webber carb and new seals... Rebuild, blah, blah, blah... Body was straight... Dude in the flatbed totalled it. Couldn't show proof of purchase or how much it cost me cause it was actually a gift given to me. 😢 So I lost the car _and_ didn't get paid for it.

[@jeffarchibald3837]

Mono color is not working IMO. Factory read spoiler with huge gaps sucks as well.

[@jonbertocchi173]

looks good. but true hard top? so the earlier coupes weren't good enough? rare? a little but not as rare as the lift back. maybe I'm biased because I have a lift back. but no I seen a bunch of these coupes. but its still an awesome car. I would like to get my hands on one as well.
