Nice example of a fourth gen Toyota Celica - the top of the line ST165 GT-Four.
This car is an '87 build, which while was two years into a four year production run for this generation of Celica, was only the second year for the 3S-GTE powered AWD GT-Four model...
Always interesting these aren't more popular. A twin-cam turbo four, AWD, and proper Group-A racing pedigree... whats not to like?
The styling? Negative associations with the first generation of FWD Celica's?
Interestingly, for what was a thoroughly 80's production run; there's barely a straight edge on these things. Would have looked
fresh in 1985..!
This car is sitting on some awesome colour-matched Tom's Aero wheels...
...With a matching Tom's three-spoke wheel, sans horn-pad.
Always wanted one of these wheels, and always keep an eye out for a complete neat black one. Still yet to own one.. <_<
Standard shift knob has been replaced with a popular TRD item. I still think these look far too big, despite having purchased and currently running one in my own car. I'd change this one for a matching Tom's item in a heartbeat..
Otherwise, the rest of this interior is beautifully clean, with the black leather/velour combination seats in great shape. seriously.. look at those drivers bolsters - this is a 28 year old car with over 100,000km!
..and one last pic, as I love the 80's Hi-Fi-ness that is this era of car audio. This double din unit is particularly great.
Done. Would drive.
