GT-TR, Again..

..after posting a TA63 GT-TR Carina here, and TA63 GT-TR Celica here.. Because I love these 3TGTE-powered Toyota's.

 

Here we have another Toyota Celica GT-TR Liftback, this time a 1984 build, and again a TA63.
..Usually Toyota would change that last digit of the chassis code to differentiate a bit, but its not the only time its been a little messy..!

This car looks to be beautifully original.. down to the wheels, ride height, those accessory motorized foglights...

..These fantastic TWIN CAM turbo decals trailing the door-handles...

TWIN CAM turbo again on the rear window, and all the model-specific badging front and rear.

The interior of this car is just as nice as the exterior. Not only is it just-about mint, but it looks like a great place to be. The seats and cloth pattern looks fantastic, but pale in comparison to that steering wheel - which is particularly awesome (albiet maybe a whisker too large!)

The 1.8litre, twin cam, twin spark, 3T-GTE four. 160ps of early-Turbocharged goodness, introduced back in 1982!



This was near the end of production for the third-gen Celica's; marking the end of this chassis in its RWD form. While the fourth-gen was a great car (and brought along the AWD GT-Four's!), I'm here for this boxy goodness. I'd definitely drive this.
