I live in Japan, and when I just had to have a Celica convertible there was a long waiting list--pay now and wait. I talked to an auto broker, and he was able get me a display car from Yokohama, one of the first G6 Celica convertibles built, and they delivered it to my house a few days later, with about 100 miles on it, most of that from Yohohama to my house.
I keep it in top shape, because there is no other car I've seen at any price that I'd rather have. Just when I was going to buy another one like it new, the G7 came out. Anyway, it doesn't get a lot of miles on it, because we normally use trains in Japan to go any distance. Unlike the U.S. versions, this car came with a 200-hp inline 4, available only with manual. And, of course, it's right-hand drive. I had no idea there was such a thing as a G6 Celica forum or that the GT-Four wasn't sold outside Japan. From my wife's Web site: ![]() |

I don't even do repairs now. The last car I got rid of when moving here was a '69 Trans Am, white with blue convertible top, a pretty rare bird. I hated leaving that behind. My wife smashed up the front left corner a few months ago, and I suggested replacing the whole front end with one from a junked GT-Four. It would have looked cool to me, at least. I assume it would fit. But she said she didn't like that and wanted to keep it stock. She took it to the body shop. I didn't have time to go with her. So it's still stock but with a complete new paint job. The '70 Celica was the first Japanese car I really liked, actually, other than the Toyota GT. |
