Finally found something worth restoring, not decided if ill go custom or ill restore to its original beauty.

Body is straigt, some rust spots. It runs but it needs a battery, carburator and revise the brakes.. the undercarriage is ok, not rusted.

The car is original from alabama, so is southern vehicle. The interior is trashed. I had not seen it from the inside, but i drove 300 miles with a uhaul trailer, so i was not going back empty handed.

We negotiated, i think i paid a little too much, but the price is under 800, that was his asking price..

Surprised it runs, and no major body issues... except the hood. So right now i just need to start to clean and make it drivable again

Its a classic, and i finally found it. Now i have a 77 celica, and a 97 celica... lol 20 years later.

Enjoy the pics, and take note.. Is a diamond in the rough....

The pic with the wheels--

The stripes & logos-- was that optional or did each get painted body color for each car??
Black car gets black stripe & logo,...yellow for yellow cars,etc?

i have no idea, those are 14 , they were in a junkyard, a guy on ebay sold them.. i wish i have more info on them...

if u want a cheap wheel upgrade the 82-86 celica supra and 82-85 celica gts have a 14x7 wheel stock that looks good on the older celicas

for cheap added power u can go with a 22r bottom end (81-84 22r) and your 20r head will gain you some power.

all the info you can give me is well appreciated. That engine was out of a corona and is a 22r.

prices are really cheap, I have never paid more than 30 bucks for parts from there.

whatever you can help. please do!
