1985 Toyota Celica Gt Coupe, 22re, Very Low Miles, Original Paint, Automatic on 2040-cars
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
For sale is my 1985 Celica GT Coupe. I purchased from the original owner years ago. Car is in near perfect condition. As rust free as you will find for a car of this age. Underside of car as clean as the top. Undercoating and factory rust treatment looks like they could have been done yesterday, yet it is the original. Original paint. Interior shows very minimal wear. Working factory options include sunroof, cruise control, air conditioning, power steering and front disc brakes, 22RE engine, 4 speed auto transmission, AM-FM stereo, power mirrors, fuel injection, tilt wheel, tinted glass, split fold down rear seats, floor mats, etc. Original spare, jack and tool kit appear unused.
New tires on recently refinished factory Toyota alloy GTS/Supra wheels. Balance weights installed on inside of wheels for a cleaner look that do not mark the wheel front. I have the original window sticker, warranty book, and owners manual. If the "Buy it Now" option is used I will include the original set of steel wheels, trim rings and center caps, (several caps are "New Old Stock") Factory Toyota Celica service manual, rare original Celica sales brochure, car cover; all in nice condition. When I purchased the car the engine ran great and had perfect compression in all cylinders, but under acceleration seemed to "ping." An experienced certified Toyota mechanic suggested engine disassembly in spite of the low miles. Number 4 piston was found damaged. The engine block was in perfect condition. After carefully cleaning the cylinder walls the engine was rebuilt using quality parts from LCE Engineering. This included 4 new pistons, rings, bearings, wrist pins, fuel injectors, balanced oil and water pumps, fuel filter, distributor, throttle position sensor, plugs, all new gaskets and radiator, etc. The 22RE is known for timing chain guide issues so since the engine was already apart the "single row" timing setup was converted to a "dual row" chain to include replacing the factory plastic guides with upgraded steel ones. A new timing cover was installed to accommodate the dual row setup. All parts from LCE Engineering. No expense spared in this conversion. This is now the smoothest running 22RE I have ever heard. Starts with just a "touch" of the key. It is well tuned and sorted out. Please note that the EGR system was deleted during the rebuild by utilizing quality block off plates from LCE Engineering. Mud guards are old school after market and were installed using existing holes and hardware. All original parts removed from the engine have been retained and go with the car if desired. EGR system could be reinstalled, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that. These are notorious for causing the #4 piston to overheat. I do not have to sell this car, but too many other projects demand my time. Available for inspection prior to auction end. A bid on this car is a commitment to buy. Car is a PA registered antique. Reserve is well below my investment. This car appears to have been garaged all its life. Car is normally stored on my drive-on lift which makes for simple inspection. Ask any questions prior to auction end. Thank you for viewing my auction and check my 100% feedback. |

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Tue, 27 Aug 2013Reprising The Recipe For A Perfect Slice Of Toast
My toaster broke the other week. Halfway through the process of cooking my gourmet Pop-Tart breakfast, the thing crapped out with a small bang, leaving my delicious morning treats trapped inside. To rectify the situation, I ventured out to a big box store, located the toaster aisle, and ran a couple of questions through my mind. Do I need two slots or four? Do I need to spend more than 20 bucks on this thing? Should I just buy a toaster oven to give me a wider range of bachelor-pad cooking functionality? After no more than two minutes of contemplation, I grabbed the cheapest one on the shelf, paid and left the store. The new toaster works just fine.
This sort of unemotional shopping experience is how I suspect people decide to purchase the Toyota Corolla. It's a perfectly fine appliance, and to a good number of people in the world, the bond between a car and a driver is no more important than the connection I feel to my toaster. Does it seat four people relatively comfortably? Does it get decent fuel economy? Is it easy to drive? Reliable? Safe? The Corolla checks all of these boxes, and because of that, Toyota managed to move just under 300,000 examples of the tenth-generation car in 2012 (though that number does include sales of the Corolla-based, now-deceased Matrix) - a vehicle that, at the time, was already six years old.
Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
