During the 1970s, the Japanese automotive industry was on its way to its peak. And it was during this time that the likes of the 2000GT, Fairlazy Z, Skyline GT-R, and more were introduced, and among these was the Toyota Celica, a two-door hardtop coupe with set anchors in styling and driving quality. The first-generation Celica's success prompted Toyota to produce the Celica until 2006 and under seven generations. The second generation Celica was produced from 1977 to 1981 and was offered in either a 2-door notchback coupe or a 3-door liftback coupe. Up for grabs is a 1980 Toyota Celica GT bearing 42,885 miles on the odometer and with a host of new parts to keep it running.
Unlike the base models, Toyota offered the GT variant of the 1980 Celica black rubber bumpers. The facelift, introduced in 1979, featured quad square headlights flanking a black-painted grille. Below the rubber bumper can be seen a front splitter with integrated lights. The seller reports that new LED headlights have been added for the low beams. On the way to the rear, you will encounter the chromed B pillar, while the rear is host to the revised taillights and chrome badging. The rear window features a white Japanese-esque decal. This gray-painted Celica, which was recently repainted, sits on a set of new Japanese 6-spoke deep dish wheels buffed to a mirror shine. The interior view is limited by the newly applied window tint. On opening the door, you are greeted by an immaculately kept tan interior. The dash features a faux aluminum façade with black-faced instrument panels. The Celica badge can be seen next to the aftermarket Pioneer radio/CD/Bluetooth player, which is part of the new sound system, as reported by the owner. The interior air conditioning is also in functioning order.
The Celica is known for its handling and drivability. This 1980 Toyota Celica GT is no exception, as it is powered by a 2.2L 20R engine, coupled with a sweet 5-speed manual transmission. The owner reports these new parts: master cylinder, front rotors, rear drums, front brake lines, tires, and new battery. While reportedly, the calipers have been rebuilt to keep up with the tune-up.
