This ORIGINAL UNRESTORED “Texas Yellow Rose” Garage Kept Celica GT, with automatic transmission, is powered by the venerable Toyota 2.2 Liter SOHC 20R, 96h.p. engine. It features a cast iron block and aluminum head with hemispherical combustion chambers, and uses a single 2-barrel carburetor, and averages 30 mpg. This particular car was prominently on long-term display in a Texas Toyota showroom and has just 25,110 original miles. This caliber of original, un-restored, survivor vintage car can very well be considered a reference tool of authenticity for future restorations of other 1977 Toyota Celica GT's. This BONE STOCK original GT not only retains the look of a new car, but the smell of a new car as well. The car runs and drives as you would expect of a well-cared for, very low mileage, un-restored, original car. No squeaks, no rattles, just turn the key and go! If you do a Google search titled “Yellow Rose of Texas Celica”, you will find various, in-depth articles relevant to this particular car on different sites, and a multitude of really nice additional photos of this car in a gallery format. Here is the link to the "Yellow Rose" article, http://toyotageek.com/toyota_tales/1977_celica_yellow_rose.html This car runs great. It draws attention, both on the road, and while parked. The original undercoating throughout the undercarriage of the car is still pliable enough to dig into with your fingernail, down to the shiny factory yellow paint underneath. Serious bidders only.
