THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owneris this rare classic 1979 Toyota Celica Supra two-door coupe!
Finished in what looks to be all original tan/beige paint over tan interior, this forty year-old BLUE LICENSE PLATE California car shows just over 96,000 miles on the working odometer. Due to the age and lack of Carfax verification I cannot 100% confirm but STRONGLY believed to be actual miles! It features a great running fuel-injected 2.6 liter 4M-E inline six cylinder engine mated to the factory automatic transmission with working overdrive, original alloy wheels with excellent rubber, factory sunroof, COLD a/c, electric windows, rear hatch cover, reclining seats, original stereo and more!
Offered here on Ebay with a low reserve, this is a fabulous find, for less than the cost of THE SALES TAX ALONE ON A NEW Supra!
THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1979 Celica Supra is in good to very good 99.9% rust-free original condition overallThe paint has a lustrous overall shine with a variety of minor nicks, scratches and other light cosmetic blemishes. There rear black panel on the hatch has been repainted and there are several isolated small corrosion bubbles in the sunroof panel and one half inch diameter spot on the driver side panel below the rear side window. Overall this is a cool original specimen that I would rate an "honest ten-footer" that garners much attention form all age groups!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this 40-year-old virgin is in truly original condition overall with most ALL systems in excellent working order! The A/C blows cold, the electric windows work, all of the gauges light up nicely, the sunroof opens smoothly.There are various worn areas befitting a car of this age...the heater fan recently stopped blowing hot, the door panel has a zip tie on it, there is a seam split on the driver seat bottom, the center arm rest is sun baked and there is some staining on the tan carpet. Overall this is one amazingly correct original cockpit!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1979 Toyotastarts easily with very good running engine, smooth shifting transmission along with excellent braking and tight yet supple GT cruiser suspension. While it won't keep up with a new Supra, the engine revs willingly in all gears and glides down an open road quite smoothly. ALSO, this car just last month received a full $2,300 service of brakes, struts, fluid service and more!! Walk around video:https://youtu.be/VW_Eq4_mlbEandtest drive:https://youtu.be/T8hCSIwS3U4
