Pics of my new 97' Celica LTD Ed, ST Hatch., Finally...(whew) Options

[LimitedEdition6g]

Here's to my new pride and joy. Plans will be 2.25 full piping, (not sure what muffler yet)..no cat, Looking to buy TRD high spoiler, Intrax springs, and looking for wheels for the time being.

Well to be honest, I didn't even know that it was a Ltd Ed. til my wife added the car onto the insurance....

However, when I looked up the standard options on the L/E's for my year, a lot of those things were optional. (seats, leather, etc...)
But as long as I have all power, sunroof, rear wiper/defroster, that's enough for me. I have wondered where the hell my badges went to!!!...lol.

Oh, I shaved the back emblems off...I think I'm going leave the toyota emblems on though. As far as the rear emblem that says "toyota", I'm actually going to put that on the front fascia above the toyota emblem on the front bumper.

I hate to be the one to tell you but that is not an LE. I have seen them on e-bay like that the VIN
calls them a LE and they are not. Limited edition sts were not available in that color. Fiesta blue metallic
was only available until Jan 97. I have a brochure I finally scanned and will post up in GD tonight.
I would still like your info plant seq # and manuf date. I am starting a database and possable calling out toyota on a false claim that there were only 3500 produced. I have done tons of reseach on this subject
and Plant sequence #s don't lie. It is a beautiful car and that color is probably more rare than the LE green.
Sorry though your insurance company is wrong.


Edit: 97 limited edition STs were available in red, black, silver and green
Verts in black and green.

Being an LE does nothing for the value and is not recognized by NADA or
kellys blue books. here is the brochure.
