Toyota Porn: Perfect 1984 Celica GT-S

[Thorin]

I'm posting this just for you, Mel, as I know you'll appreciate this car: http://youtu.be/qfbzG8eDOr4

Please don't ask me how I got there as I don't know.  But damn, that is one car in excellent condition!

Also, $13,664 in 1984 US dollars (the price apparently paid for this car) is about the same as $30,440 in 2012 US dollars (according to http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm).

Almost completely stock eh... good old 22R-E Motors last for ever.  Loved the look of the GT-S which was the poor man's Supra after they split the models in 1982 (prior to that the GT-S was actually a Celica Supra).

Too bad he has Supra Rims on the thing, although some dealerships would sell them with those Rims - they definitely looked nicer than the stock versions.  And the seats... I had no idea the GT-S came with Supra buckets too (can tell by the hand pump for the lumbar support in the driver's seat).

I miss my Supra

The Supra had a bigger engine, though, didn't it?  I thought the GT-S had the 22R-E inline 4 and the Supra had some inline 6 that required a longer hood (M engine, or something?).

Those rims weren't specifically Supra rims, Toyota used them on several top-end sports cars in Japan; in North America they were pretty much only fitted to Supras, though.  Dunno if they were an option to buy or not, I couldn't read the window sticker well enough.

Yep, when they split the model lines, they went to a strait inline 6 engine and a longer front end to handle the larger motor.  Man what a sound that DOHC system would make when you matted it.
