Very beautiful car. One sad thing about being a singaporean, if you're not rich, you cant have the right to get a vintage as the govt is very not supportive of cars to grow beyond the age of 10. Worst part of this whole bullshit, they still force you to pay hell to just own them. So for a young vintage car lover living in sg, i feel severely misplaced. i'd rather be in m'sia or america where there is a proper vintage car culture.
What memories! I have owned 4 or 5 early 70's Celica's, great little car, though very under powered. if you guys are in need of the rocker trim I still have them hangin in the garage since the 80's. They're free , you pay the shipping.
@Donhollio Nothing you can't fix with a later model engine. There was a DOHC injected version of the 18R, although if it were me, I'd lift an engine from a late model injected Hilux, and just narrow the diff from that one to fit. They weighed so little, that huge horsepower wasn't all that necessary to make it quick.
@Mechknight73 Well it's been years since I parted ways with the Celica's. In one Celica I dropped a Buick 3,8L V6 witha 4speed manual trans. It was very interesting to drive, the torque was insane, I never needed first gear!
hey man nice job and on an even nicer classic, but, just please put a larger exaust tip on there. Im just saying because the car looks nice and big but the exaust lokks like a little thing. But very nice job man. an wat year is this car?
wow!
