It costs 2 g's, runs mid 17s and comes STANDARD with an AM radio.

That is a Celica AT23...............................

The real granddaddy was the Toyota 2000GT

(I'm getting ld)

:D

What's more hilarious is that those 70's Celicas had more racing history and wins (non drag-racing) than the current one. They had much more aftermarket support also.

those are sum dope ass pics...i would kill to have one of those...There is a really clean one around here, yellow, built 18RG, dumped on panasports...yummy!

Hey that Toyota 2000GT is still a nice looking car to me.

[Bobbeh]

Yeah me too, theres a guy over here with a black modded hot rod one and he flies :)

[t2000gts]

technically, the 2000GT is more related to the MR2, not the celica...

then when the supra split off from the celica, things just got confusing.

and that old celica looks like a domestic :D 17.5...that's not too shabby considering an auto celica GT of today runs only a few tenths quicker stock, and an auto matrix would probably run about that.

i'd hope so considering they've been around 30 years.
