73 Celica Track Car $8000
Name: Johnnie
Location: Hampton
Means of contact: PM or email (my username @gmail.com)
Price: $8000
Description: 73 Celica Track Car
It's been to a few of the local shows like Spring Fest a couple times (not the most recent). Won second place for Track Car category once. I have done a lot to this car and the "mods list" is almost endless. I have lots of extra parts if you are willing to pay for them (I will not separate prior to car being sold). I take very good care of the car and keep it very clean. BUT PLEASE REALIZE!!!!!! This is a track car. This is a race engine, and it drives like a race engine. The paint is no where near show level. It's very shiny because I polish the heck out of it, not because it is great paint. It has chips, and cracks, there is bondo on the car....ect..... This car is great looking, and phenomenal to drive! If someone spent the $3-5K on a really nice paint job, this would be a $15K+ car. I do not let it see rain EVER!
Audio info: Amplified gravel noise with sheet metal rear seat delete.....
Engine info:
****
As for the age of the engine. I put new bearings in when I put the ultra high comp pistons in, and honed the cylinders. I then did 2000 miles on conventional 20W50 on the highway. I have done 1 drift event, and 5 track events since then. It's been almost 5 years since then. On average I probably run through about 5-7 tanks of gas a year on the street. Figure about 150 miles per tank and you are looking at about 750-1000ish miles a year. Before the last event I upgraded from the Stage III cam to the Stage V cam with all new rockers. I have had the stage V cam in there for about a year and a half. I put new oil and filter in before every event (8 qrts).

Things on the to do list:
Important
Replace defective fuel pump
At leisure

Replace windshield seal (included) and install Stainless trim (included)
All the fluids including the transmission have been kept up to date. I run Redline High performance oils in the diff, and the transmission, and either Mobil 1 full synthetic 20W50 or Redline full synthetic 10W60 (a matter of convenience) Brake fluid is about 8 months old, Super Blue racing fluid. Front wheel bearing were replaced and repacked this time last year. All joints are tight and free from play (except body side of panhard rod, not sure why but I cant get a hiem joint to last at all there, it seems to be happy after it develops a slight bit of play, and then never gets worse). Other than that, adjust tire pressures and have fun!
I also have, that could be purchased, a TRD Pace Car chin spoiler, TRD replica chin spoiler, and TRD Trunk spoiler (will let it go for a good deal with the car, trunk spoiler is already painted)
If you have read all that and think that my $8000 asking price is even HALF what is in the car, you are probably an illiterate. So please don't waste my time and yours. Cash in hand gets a test drive, nothing else.

Re: 73 Celica Track Car $8000
Added info on engine age since built.
****
As for the age of the engine. I put new bearings in when I put the ultra high comp pistons in, and honed the cylinders. I then did 2000 miles on conventional 20W50 on the highway. I have done 1 drift event, and 5 track events since then. It's been almost 5 years since then. On average I probably run through about 5-7 tanks of gas a year on the street. Figure about 150 miles per tank and you are looking at about 750-1000ish miles a year. Before the last event I upgraded from the Stage III cam to the Stage V cam with all new rockers. I have had the stage V cam in there for about a year and a half. I put new oil and filter in before every event (8 qrts).
