If I had the money, I would buy a collection of 90's Japanese cars, and an early 90's Celica would have a place. It's pretty rare to see one in good shape these days unfortunately. The Celica was the car that got me off of my high horse about american muscle cars. I grew up in a shop that built big *** engines for mustangs, and had a few. My older sister bought a 98 Celica GT convertible, and my Mustang was in the shop so I asked to borrow it. Took it for a spin, and it could chirp the tires in second as well as my Mustang could! Plus it handled like a dream. It kinda changed my outlook on Japanese cars.

My previous '69 Austin Healey Sprite which I don't have anymore, and my '68 GTO convertible which I still have. The Pontiac needs a new paint job right about now.



I'll see what else I've got for pics.

LOL, the sprite could be used as a hood ornament on the Goat.

yeah. 320whp and FWD was no fun. was 'fully bolted', at that point going BT was a big step up and saw it as pretty pointless, so i went for boring reliable DD and small light RWD car.....great decision, dont regret it one bit.
