I'm new to the site and unfortunately do not have a 6 gen Celica. I've been looking for one for the last month and I'm not having much luck. The ones I find are rough, really high mileage, a convertible, or across country. I'm hoping maybe someone knows something I don't and could help me. I'm in middle Kentucky and I'm willing to travel to get something but I can only travel so far. I've trolled this site for years just increasing my desire for one of these cars. If anyone knows of one for sale somewhat near me and can help out I would greatly appreciate it. My only desire is that it's a hatchback, beyond that it doesn't matter the color, trim, or trans. And preferably under 200k miles. Any help would be great

I have a 1996 ST (7afe) with 5 speed manual transmission. I have done a lot of work on it. I am in Tulsa OK. If interested, I can send you pictures, video of engine running etc. The car has no rust at all that I can see. In my profile there are pictures of it before I did the following:

Engine rebuilt with new rings/ complete head rebuilt at 165K(Parts were all OEM)
Added 15 inch 2001 Celica wheels and tires
Added front rear and side splitters (purchased them from a member here)
Installed leather upholstery so leather seats
Timing belt and one axle replaced at 156K (2nd axle replaced at 172K (I think)
Installed eBay header and downpipe (still working on it)
Indiglow gauges with LED bulbs all around.
New OEM Radio from a later model but still have the original also
Insulated doors and trunk
Installed rear upper spoiler. It is a hatchback.
New Front brakes and rear drums and shoes
I have added a thermostatically controlled sandwich adapter before the filter and connected an aftermarket oil cooler. It opens at 180

Things I still need to do:
install cruise control (have all the parts just not enough time and is involved too)
Rear drum to disk conversion (have most parts)

Car runs and drives fine as it is my DD. 182K on the car now. Let me know. I do not need to sell it but if this car goes to a well deserve member I will be happy. I have other projects (LOL)
