----- UPDATE: August 9, 2022 - The Celica is still available and available for sale. We still enjoy it and go to car shows as time allows. Car run flawlessly, Supercharger pulls all the way to redline. Lift works perfectly. IF SERIOUSLY INTERESTED...shoot me a text 724-584-7120

History:
The car was purchased on January 27, 2008. It came with ALL Trial components and the car was painted 350z Silverstone. The bumpers did not match, so we opted to repaint the whole car. It was personally delivered on a trailer by the original owner from Dunkirk, NY to Pittsburgh, PA. He was a member here on the boards! It has been garage kept and we have put roughly 1500-2000 miles on the car since we bought it. It was a project, not a daily driver. No accidents. Was originally a Florida car in it's previous life (when it was black, the original color).

As an added selling point, this car was the first to have a functional Trial Supercharger installed in the USA. To the best of my knowledge, it is one of only three to have been installed in thr USA by Trial technicians.

A picture of the car appeared in DCAR magazine showcasing the Trial Supercharger kit, and a copy of the magazine will go to the new owner!

Wow, cant believe I stumbled on this post, I was in-fact there when this car was having the the S/C installed by Scott and Hero. That was a LATE and HOT night in Tucson AZ. My car was the 2nd one with the Trial SC installed and the 3rd was also from San Diego.

as ANOTHER clarification...in plain text.

the car is stored in a climate controlled corporate hanger with multi-million dollar jets. Chris works out of the hanger and is there 5 days a week. running the car/driving it once in a while is not a difficult operation to accomplish.

no more posts unless you are interested in the car, or have something nice to say. if it is not nice, i suggest looking at the off-topic forum and trying your luck there! :)

Wow another masterpiece celica up for sale :(. Never thought you of all people would ever sell :(. Unfortunately I do not believe many people here will remember or understand who Kenny was or why the quality of that trunk setup is unquestionable. Really this is an amazing car that will unfortunately not sell for what it is worth. Best of luck and congrats to whoever buys it.

Thanks for the kind comments, Dan. I really want it to go to a good home. I agree, most people would not recall Kenny. That comes with being on this forum since forever ago, haha. I wish his car would have materialized...that would have a site to see.

We aren't going to get nearly the kind of money we put into it...but hoping for the best. There is some expensive stuff on this car :p Haven't ruled out a partial part out, but we aren't there yet!
