keep it. a very rare car....especially with the square back. think about it...where have you seen another one? i have not seen a square back anywhere in years.....except mine that i bought in 1986.
I remember this model back in the 80s. Especially the coupe that nobody wants, everybody was looking for the hatch back because of the sport looking. I saw one those here in CZcams 3 door with a Toyota V8 engine swap and it looks like yours factory install. Great condition and great video enjoy it.
Hi. Thank your for the positive compliment.:) I did see the one you mentioned with the Lexus V8 swap on CZcams. I thought about doing the same thing....but instead swapped one into a 1991 Mazda Miata. The Celica deserved the 22RTE even though it was slower. Cheers and thank you for watching. :) Regards, Brian and Gayle
Well thank you for the positive compliment. :) It is a special car with known history since new. I'm hoping the next owner will appreciate what their getting. It going to be auctioned very soon.
If your anything like me and a little wiser in my older years , I would definitely keep it . I've also seen some pristine both notch backs and verts go for much higher over the last couple year's . Like you said the hatch backs were everywhere..i remember when I got my 85 in grade 12, i loved it , but still didn't sink in to how rare it was .. I had a cop as a neighbor that always told me to it was unique and I should hold on to it . As a young one I didn't really listen, i still talk to him as he is still neighbours with my parents and he still brings it up lol. Met my wife of 26 years and going stong when i first got it and would love to have it back
At the end of the day even the coolest Toyota Celica on the planet is still a Toyota celica. PS do us a favor and don't chew gum while you're on a hot mic.
Hey watches and wheels! I actually have very good news, it's been a bit but I've been able to get my hands on all the 22rte stuff and I'm about to throw it on my 22re celica gts, I've rebuilt the engine and put lower compression pistons so it can run properly with less worry. I've done alot of research and it looks like it should work, ill make some videos soon enough so you could have a look
Such a nice car. Wished I'd seen the vid before you sold it. I have a blue 85 GTS. It's almost in as good shape as yours, but does not have a turbo. I might have been a bidder.
Alright, after having watched both videos, you obviously love the car. You said it yourself though, you love Farrah more. Ever consider building a bigger garage? haha. It's a hot market like you said and your price seems fair so sit back and enjoy. I'm sure someone will come knocking. It'd be a hit on bringatrailer
Hey yeah, I have a stock 84 celica hatchback, and ik turbo charged engines are made a little stronger and different to handle a turbo but if I were to find a turbo from one of these and strap it onto mine, do you think that could possibly work? And I'm pretty sure I would also change the ecu while I'm at it
Hi Jake. Yes... I believe if you used the 22RTE injectors/ECU/Turbo and Manifold/22RTE Engine harness and ignition system....that it would work on a 22RE. I will say that you may have to retard the timing maybe 2-3 degrees and use 93 Pump gas. Also....you will need an oil feed line for the Turbo so as to not seize it up. I always wanted to try this idea but never had the chance. If you do make a successful attempt at trying this and it works....please send me a link to your videos. Regards, Brian
@@watchesandwheels2093 for sure will do, I just have to have some luck on finding one in a junk yard or used online, and for sure I will make a video of the process if I do
I've had multiple offers to sell for $8,500.00. I'll be listing the car on Bring a Trailer at the end of April. I believe the car will sell for more than that. So...first 10K takes it right now.
Keep it and put a car cover over it. you can use it from time to time, I just bought a 1984 Celica GTS Convertible and I look forward to restoring it to its formal glory. Do you have extra parts that you are selling such as the turn signal light covers?
@@watchesandwheels2093 yes I need the right side rear back seat latch that keeps the seat from folding forward. Also the center console part that goes around the manual shift gear. I believe it's the square plastic that surrounds the stick shift.
Hi Billy. I'm on the fence right now with what to do with it. I'll probably make my decision in spring. I can let you know then if your still interested...if not I'm going to list it on Bring a Trailer. Thank you for the inquiry.
Yes. I've had at least 5 solid offers of $8,500.00. I'm going to list it on Bring a Trailer at the end of April. I think the car may fetch $10,000 so.....The first 10K takes it right now.
#1 - quit chewing that silly gum dusting content. #2 - You are using the word “yet” several times during this video in an incorrect text or meaning. Use Webster. #3 - the interior is hideous so chill. #4 - the oiling and cooling of your set-up is really short sided.
That's funny, I have an white 85GT-S , blue interior, in awesome condition, and with an 22RTE in it. With only 150k miles on it. Mine is a hatch. I wouldn't take less than $8500. Every time I think of selling I cringe. Don't do it.
I think I'm gonna take your advise. I know I'll never get another one like this. I'm glad you feel the same way about the price for our cars too. :) (1)--Do you have detailed videos of your car? I would really like to see it. (2)--Is yours stock? Mods? (3)-What's your location? I think you said VA? Maybe we can get together when the weathers nice. Regards, Brian
@@watchesandwheels2093 Brian, I don't have videos, just photos. I think it's perfect stock, no need for mods. aside from the engine. In Norfolk. Let me know a way to PM you and we'll stay in touch.
@@Kosoku63I I did say 202 thousand miles at around 10 minutes into the video. Where in the video did I say 2K? Tell me the timeline in the video where I say that?
Well. I'm not sure I'm completely committed to letting it go. I've had it 12 years and I'm losing my indoor garage space for another car that's worth more money. Plus...I don't drive it very much....considering I put about 2,000 miles on it in the last 12 years. If the money is there...I may let it go...or I'll wait and list it on Bring a Trailer in the spring.
Make me an offer over $8,500.00. If it doesn't sell it will be listed on Bring a Trailer at the end of April 2021
🙋
All I have is my truck and 4,500$ . Please respond if intested.
@@jimmyhamm9737 Sell the truck and bring me the full $8,500 is all I can do... provided its not sold by the end of April.
Still got it?
@@tv4184 Yes :)
Beautiful car I love that model tank’s a lot 😊.
DO NOT SELL THIS!!! you will regret it
What a perfect example.

I have it btw; I want side panels like yours above the tires
Nice car.
...NICE...
Happy to see clean examples like this one still around! My first car was an 83 coupe. That thing was a ripper!
Hi there. It's the nicest one I've ever owned. Still....it doesn't get the love that the MK2 Supra gets...buts that's alright. :)
I'll take it 😊
this is so fire
You are the Bob Ross of car reviewing 🙌🏼😂
Nice had one near identical with tan interior and a electric sun roof great little car wish I still owned it.
Only 4,485 in 1985 were made into convertibles and less then 200 in 1984
I find the backstory of this car super interesting. Great car, I'm glad you and the California woman took meticulous care of this little Celica.
Well thank you for the positive compliment. :)
It is a special car with known history since new. I'm hoping the next owner will appreciate what their getting. It going to be auctioned very soon.
I just bought this car! I'm working real hard to fix it up
sweet
I want to see videos. What color is yours?
Omg i love it , damn wish I could afford that ..had one in high school , and didn't no how rare it was
Hi Al.....it almost make me think I should hold onto mine. You think the price I'm asking is fair?

Only difference really is that the original turbo has been replaced by a turbo from a mk3 supra turbo
Such a nice car. Wished I'd seen the vid before you sold it. I have a blue 85 GTS. It's almost in as good shape as yours, but does not have a turbo.
I might have been a bidder.
Do the math it’s worth $500 bucks today technology
is still available?
I have the exact same car but my celica is non turbo and automatic but love it though!!
Same! I got mine 2 years ago and just passed 100k miles on the original 22RE.
Believe me, I fell in love with this model back in the 80s, if I could find a good clean one here in my country, I would get one
my attainable dream car. very nice
Always loved that rwd era of Celica, also think notchback is sharper style. Love it, enjoy!
This was my car in high school!

The guy that wants it has till the end of April to pay the $8,500. If he does not buy it..it's going on Bring a Trailer at the end of April early May.
