Description:

1981 Toyota Celica

I am selling my 1981 Toyota Celica GT Liftback.
It is a 5 speed ex-California car now located in Ohio, but has not seen salt or snow.
There are some minor surface rust spots visible in photos, mainly near the rear bumper.
Because this was a California car, the windshield has some pitting and a small chip in the center that is hard to see in photos.
The original carburetor will be included, but since it sat for about 13 years, it needs reworked. It was replaced with a Weber RedLine.
The clutch was also replaced at the same time and has had about 20 miles put on it since. There's currently about 37000 miles on the car. I occasionally drive it up to the store while I try to sell it, so the exact amount keeps gradually increasing.
The work was done by an experienced mechanic that has been working on my cars, and my family's cars for over 30 years. The work wasn't done as an after-work tinker job for fun.
The car mostly sits because I am in and out of the country for work, and usually only around for the winter, which is exactly when you don't want to drive this thing.
It was recently detailed, and the interior is in pretty great shape minus the plastic trim panels in the hatch area. Those were punished by California sun and are cracked/brittle.
The shift boot was swapped out (original got all sticky from the sun), but it's not a perfect fit. The company I ordered from never sent a proper fitting one. You could try to take it up with them, or leave it as is.
It has a clean Ohio title and has not been in any accidents. It runs great and is a fun car if you're into zipping around with a 5-speed.
If you have other questions, please ask. I will entertain offers. You will be responsible for organizing some kind of shipping service if you aren't local.
