Does anybody know the story behind the dragon?
-------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

I remember having "the Dragon" on my first Celica (actually, was my first car as well - a '75 ST, inherited from my father when I graduated from college in '79) ... I sort of remember reading somewhere that it's supposed to be a "dragon boat" , as the president of Toyota (or some higher up.... Kiichi Toyoda) was supposedly a fan of dragon boat racing - something they do in Japan, I suppose ? Who knows, but... I like the old dragon emblems, for sure. and I loved my old school Celi - wish I'd kept it, looking back...<sigh> oh, well. Loving my 5th gen vert, anyways

Yeah, really ...... was whatever bright red paint they offered that year, PLUS (and this was "odd" I think) my old ST had a black vinyl top on it (very uncommon, I'd have to say, for Japanese autos...LOL). I would've liked to have kept it, but I had thrown a rod or something - side of block had a crack in it and it leaked and burned oil like crazy after that (still ran pretty good for, apparently, 3 cylinders  )
