Sold · 1985 Toyota Celica GT Hatchback

How often do you come across a 40-year-old car with only 72,000 kilometres? That is less than 2,000 km per year on average! Well, this 1985 Celica GT is one of those cars. Finding a Celica GT in this condition is difficult, and it will continue to appreciate as the popularity of early Japanese cars grows! An unmodified and well-cared-for example of Toyota’s 3rd Generation A60 Celica GT which has been in BC from new. We even have the Toyota “We Care” customer card with the Celica’s Vehicle Identification Number and the owner having a West Vancouver address. The Celica was sold in 2020 to an automotive dealer as an estate sale and then purchased in 2021 by the second “driving” owner with 69,000 kms on the odometer and they undertook cosmetic (new paint) and mechanical reconditioning. The interior is original and in excellent condition. The electronics all work including the original stereo cassette player and equalizer. The Celica was featured in 2022 as part of the “Survivor Series” by Youtuber Motormouth and featured by ICBC in their Autoplan communications. The Celica GT is powered by a 2.4-litre 22R-E inline-four-cylinder engine rated at 116 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque which, combined with the five-speed manual transmission and RWD makes for spirited drives on twisty backroads. The Celica rides on 14” split spoke alloy wheels found on the GTS and Supra models with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires (date code 52/19). The Celica GT came equipped with power steering, power-assisted front brakes, pop-up headlights, sunroof, power mirrors, power door locks, air conditioning, cruise control, stereo with cassette player and graphic equalizer, and body-coloured fender flares.
