Rare factory options, Who's got 'em? Options

[Xander_X]

I have a book AAALLL about every generation Celica and Supra made. It's nauseatingly detailed first by generation, then by year. It goes so far as to tell you what options were available and colors that year and how much they cost (though it does leave some things out that I've thought of). I had no clue there were so many different damned trim levels/editions/models of the first two generation Celica's! It also goes into in depth detail about WRC with every car and what happened every year, with what car, driver, record, blah blah blah.

Anyways ... there were a few optional equipment items I noticed while reading that were available to certain trim levels in certain countries that I have never heard anyone speak of and just wondered if anyone has any of them on their 6gc. I'll list the ones that I didn't know about, feel free to add to the list or just shout out things on your ride that you feel are super rare.

- 4-wheel steering
- optional Superstrut suspension (not including the obvious GT-FOUR and SS-III that it came standard on)
- optional Sport Suspension available on USDM GT (I have this but never hear anyone talk about it)
- Headlight washers
- SS-III 25th anniversay edition (whole car or unique parts from)
- SS-I "White Edition" (whole car or unique parts from)

This is all I've found so far that I thought was on the rarest of rare side. Feel free to add others!

^^^ that refers to the shocks in the front being sealed. Nothing fancy about the springs on the gt or the struts. All 94-99 Celica GT & ST came with the same exact suspension. GT came with a bit thicker sway bars is all and front strut brace which is flimsy....

I've been reading that there was a "Sport Package" available for the GT only (plus I have the window sticker for my car that says it under optional equipment), it included, alloy wheels, leather steer wheel cover & shiftknob, and an upgrade suspension. This was offered from 94 - 95. From 96-99 it was called the "Leather Sport Package" adding leather seats to the package. Plus if you look around at what options were available for USDM 6gc the "upgraded" or "sports" suspension is one that comes up frequently.

That being said, it might very well be just that the struts are the sealed type, but from what I've been finding, the Sport Suspension was an "upgrade" option. I'm assuming it's not much though, Edmunds only adds like $70 to the value of your car if you have it lol.
