Another st205 in the states. Options

[lagos]

So It seems we have another real st205 in the states. There is a local shop around here that is known for importing cars. A few weeks ago they brought over a black gtfour with the original 3 spoke wheels (from what ive been told). I called them up today, and verified this story, however they informed me that the car was sold about 2 weeks ago. Seems another shop just a few blocks from them bought the car. They said that if I stop buy they could have the other shop bring the car over for me to check out, so I'll try to get some pics of it.

The guy also mentioned that there are two more in a lot in japan that he is thinking of importing. He's asking price is around 14grand.

There were only 84 '93 CelicaTurbo All_Tracs imported and sold in '93;
the last year we got the turbo models. The price had climbed to near $25k !

Toyota did not want to import the 6g GT4 to sell fewer for even More $$ ?

Would've been a Great car though.

@ Emissions is a big reason they are illegal.

Emissions Might have Not been an issue ? The 3rd gen would've had to pass
stricter emissions stansards ?
The GT4 would've had to have been OBDII for 96+.
Might have been a problem ?

@ Plus real GT4's are RHD, whereas our USDM cars are LHD.

There are/were LHD versions of the GT4 for LHD markets, Germany, France etc...

@ Plus America gets the shaft on all the best cars

Well That is true.

There are several actual GT4's running around the states.
Plus several AWD & Turbo swaps around.
So you could get a reasonably legit (State legit) car.
