Toyota’s Celica is one of those legendary Japanese cars that was widely sold in the United States too. That’s why we’re proud to present this sixth-generation, 55,000-mile 1997 Toyota Celica GT Liftback for sale from Phoenix. With its Fiesta Blue Metallic paint job, convenient liftback body style and the Fabric Sport Package, this one-owner Japanese classic even rocks some niceties such as the Premium 3-in-1 Audio System upgrade, a power moonroof and more. For those who want a Celica in their life, this 2.2-liter powered machine is ideal, especially if you didn’t learn how to drive stick, thanks to its automatic gearbox.
Exterior and Interior
The Toyota Celica name came about in 1970, and by 1973, models were exported to the United States. That means by the time this sixth-generation 1997 Toyota Celica GT Liftback arrived, the nameplate was pretty well known. This particular car rocks a Fiesta Blue Metallic coat of paint that gels well with its curvaceous Nineties design, quad circular headlamps, rear spoiler and contoured rocker panels. This car also comes with a set of silver five-spoke alloy wheels, a power-operated moonroof and a chrome exhaust tip on the passenger side of the rear bumper. The black interior of this 1997 Toyota Celica GT Liftback has been equipped with the Fabric Sport Package. Since the Celica is a compact, it’s suitably roomy for four average-sized adults, but the rear seats may be better occupied by children in the case of longer journeys. We see that the car has got the Premium 3-in-1 Audio System package, which brings you a Toyota-branded double-DIN head unit that includes a CD player plus a cassette tape deck, as well as separate knobs for adjusting Bass, Mid and Treble parameters. Beneath this is the car’s heating and air conditioning system control panel. The car also has cruise control.
Engine
This 1997 Toyota Celica GT Liftback is front-wheel drive. It’s got a gutsy 2.2-liter naturally aspirated, fuel-injected four-cylinder up front. It’s the 5S-FE unit which makes a reported 135hp and 145lb-ft. But don’t let those outputs sway you away, because of two factors. One, it’s a sturdy and well-built unit, designed to rack up hundreds of thousands of miles when well maintained. Two, the car isn’t that heavy. So, even though it’s got a 4-speed automatic transmission, you can enjoy some nippy performance.
