Yep it is. 3rd gen GTS Coupe. Not real common these days. I'd rock the hell outta that thing. That should have the LSD rear end.

Nice! Wonder if it really has no rust.

Plus IRS as opposed to the live axle in the ST's and GT's, very nice.

And Supra seats.

If this had waited two months to pop up, i would have left work already to go pick that up. All sorts of ridiculously evil things you can do to that car.

I'm thinking some huge wide tire, dropped a bit, and a 7mgte with a monstrous turbo shoehorned in there.

It's a good thing that thing is no where near m.... aww shibbit.

first thing i thought when it popped up was oh grand national....ohhh no no no wait a second.

DROP

DEAD

SEXY

If I had a garage to keep it in, I'd already own it

No rust. Stock wheels (hard to find). Non-pimped.Clean-looking black body... I don't need another car. But the DD is dying...must think about this one.

Don't forget the Tinkerbell floormats!

EDIT: I think these are the mats.

So the owner could be .....

I emailed him with some questions. This should be interesting.

That thing looks freakin awesome. Kinda like a 3/4 scale Japanese Monte Carlo.

Good eye picking out Tinkerbell on the floor mats. Why?

No rust?? Wow. Great price.

...and I'm thinking "Jamie" is a girl's name in this case...

Triumph5 let me know how it goes, I'm really interested to see what becomes of this beautiful machine.

oof, I'm interested too.

I like it...too far away for me though.

OK guys, it's 6:47pm on the east coast, and I assume 5:47 in MI. Nothing yet. Zilch. And it's borderline distance for me, too. First thing's first. If, ( BIG IF) that Celica is as described., i't's let's make a deal time. In the meantime found a BMW 318 M3 virtually around the corner from me that's really interesting.. I'll let you all know what's up. No emails by 10pm, and it's phone time. VTW, if I do get the Celica, I'll keep it stock. Too rare to screw with

That Celica NEEDS to be screwed with, sir.

It's not THAT rare. It's cool as hell, but not that rare. In stock form, it was fun for it's time, but it's not all that fun stock these days. At the very least make it breathe and make it handle, no firebreathing built 7mgte required.

IIRC that car has basically the same running gear as the Supra, but a 4 cylinder instead of the 6. A coworker back when they were new had the super hots for one of these.
