Additional Info:

93,143 Original Miles • Rust-Free California Car • Extensive Maintenance • Beautiful Original Condition

For sale is this exceptionally well preserved 1988 Toyota Celica Convertible with just 93,143 miles.

This Celica has been a California car since new and is 100% rust free. It has been extremely well cared for throughout its life and comes with an unusually extensive maintenance history.

One of the things that makes this car particularly special is the documentation from the previous owner. A detailed logbook was kept documenting virtually everything done to the car, including routine maintenance, repairs, oil changes, and even every fuel fill up, including the mileage, MPG for each tank, and the cost of the fuel.

Finding a 1980s Toyota with this level of owner documentation is pretty remarkable and gives a great indication of how carefully this car was maintained.

EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE HISTORY

The service was performed using OEM Toyota parts.

EXTERIOR

Cosmetically, this Celica is gorgeous. The paint retains a brilliant, deep and glossy shine, and the car presents exceptionally well for an unrestored 1988 automobile.

As should be expected with an original car of this age, there are some minor signs of normal use, including a few small imperfections and dings.

Most importantly, this has been a California car since new and is completely rust free.

CONVERTIBLE TOP

The power-operated convertible top works exactly as it should, raising and lowering smoothly in just seconds.

The soft top is believed to be original and remains in remarkably nice condition. It has a few very minor imperfections consistent with its age, but they are hardly noticeable and there are no tears whatsoever.

All of the power windows operate properly as well.

INTERIOR

The interior is in excellent overall condition and shows less wear than you would normally expect from a vehicle of this age.

The seats are in excellent condition with no tears, the dashboard is free of cracks, and the door panels, carpeting, center console and interior trim have all been very well preserved.

The condition of the interior is another indication of the care this Celica has received throughout its life.

MECHANICAL CONDITION

This Toyota runs, drives and handles extremely well. The engine runs smoothly, the transmission operates properly, and the car feels tight and enjoyable on the road.

The brakes, steering and suspension are all in good working order.

The air conditioning works and blows strong, cold air, and the heater operates properly as well.

This is not simply a good looking Celica, it is a car that can actually be driven and enjoyed right now.

A RARE SURVIVOR

These fourth generation Celica convertibles have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples that have remained in California, are rust free, largely original, well maintained and accompanied by such an extensive history.

This car has tremendous personality. It is an absolute blast to drive with the top down and receives compliments virtually everywhere it goes. In a world filled with modern cars that tend to blend together, this Celica stands out. You may be surprised how much attention an exceptionally clean 1980s Toyota convertible attracts.

If you have been looking for a clean, honest and exceptionally well documented vintage Toyota that you can drive and enjoy immediately, this is one worth serious consideration.
