Description
This is a 1977 Toyota Celica GT project finished in Orange (paint code #538) over a Caramel interior. This top-trim Japanese coupe is powered by a 2.2-liter 20R inline-4 cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Celica GT Liftback was only offered with the 2.2L 20R engine for two years - 1976 and 1977. This vehicle is currently registered in Ontario with an active and (Normal) registration status. The odometer reads approximately 93k-miles.
For US bidders, this Celica GT is directly importable without modification as it is EPA & DOT exempt being greater than 25 years old. For more information on transport/import please visit our Transport/Import page here.
Toyota coined the term liftback to describe the Celica’s fastback-style hatchback. 1977 was the last year of the first generation Celica. Exterior design features include rocker panel stripes and curved body side mouldings. The bumpers are chrome with shock absorbing overriders and side caps made of black rubber. The Celica liftback has a raised hood to accommodate the larger 20R motor. The front fascia has a flat nose with round dual twin headlamps and a honeycomb grille with GT badging. The rear quarter windows are fixed and accented by a set of curved vertical louvers on the C pillar. The taillights are three vertical bars, in keeping with the pony car styling that Toyota sought to replicate. The Celica rides on 14” wheels wrapped in Hercules H/P 4000 tires, P215/60R14 all around, with disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear. The seller notes that the brakes work but they should be assessed and may need repair. New Brembo brakes and rotors, and shoes for the rear drums are included in the sale. Rust is present on the rocker panels and fenders.
The cabin features caramel brown vinyl seating with ribbed knitted tape yarn inserts, and wood grain trim on the full length centre console, the instrumentation panel, and the door cards. The front bucket seats fold forward providing access to the back seats. The side bolster on the driver's seat needs repair. A four-spoke steering wheel fronts analog instrumentation with recessed gauges and an 8K rpm tachometer.
The emergency brake is wrapped in leather, and black in colour to match the housings for the push button AM/FM radio, A/C climate controls, and circular vents. The glove compartment locks and bears a Celica script nameplate. The beige headliner is sagging in some places. The carpet and visors are also beige. A spare tire can be mounted in the trunk, which is illuminated upon opening the hatch. The seller notes that all the electric components are functioning. The Toyota Celica is 164 inches long, 63 inches wide, and 53 inches high, with a 95 inch wheelbase.
The 1977 Celica GT is powered by Toyota’s 2.2-liter 20R inline-four cylinder engine, sending power to the rear wheels by way of a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 6.7” rear end with a 3.727:1 gear ratio. The 20R engine has a cylinder bore and stroke of 88.5 mm x 89 mm, aluminium alloy cross-flow heads with hemispherical combustion chambers, and came rated at 97 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 119 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 rpm. The seller notes that the oil was recently changed, an ignition conversion was completed, the gas tank was flushed out, a new fuel pump was installed, and new gas lines were installed. He mentions that the carburetor may need rebuilding, that there is a hole in the muffler, and the smog pulley was removed.
