okay,so,we got our hands on a 97 limited edition for $500!!! The interior and exterior is in MINT condition....except for the fact it was in a light front end collision...just needs head lights,bags and a hood at this point as I had extra fenders and a c-one style FRP bumper... Can't wait to sink my hands in this baby.

The dude basically had it as a project car and then he inherited an antique Fiat convertible so he kinda gave up on the Celica and had 5 cars in his driveway so he decided to let it go dirt cheap. My buddy is gonna give me a call tomorrow to see how much a it will be to put a new clutch into it because it does engage high but other than that it runs nicely...gonna need some new pads too just from it sitting. My brother,my friend Nate and I busted out this car in about 4 hrs including some bodywork...sledge hammer and a chisel FTW I'll post a video after I toss the rest of the bolt-ons in.

...what features did it have that were different than non-limited edition? alloy wheels, limited edition badging (fenders, rearview mirror, floormats...), sunroof, celica embroidered on the front seats, it was available in the limited edition green (not all are green though, mine was red), power windows, ghost emblems, cd/cassette player stock. (not sure if that was standard on all though.) i'm sure there is more but i can't really think of anything. so glad to see it up so fast. that's what she said That Green they came in was limited i think. and they were all auto false!!! mine was a standard. -------------------- |
