1995 Celica BEAMS Red TOP manual convertible for sale
1995 Celica GT 5 speed manual convertible 176000 miles overall- 46000 miles on engine and transmission. ENGINE and TRANSMISSION All parts that were used are genuine Toyota parts (except custom exhaust system). All mechanical work performed at Tonkin Gran Turismo in Portland, Oregon 1998 JDM BEAMS 3rd generation Red Top engine, professionally installed in 2012, with approx 36000 miles on it. Before installation new timing belt, water pump, and spark plugs were installed and all gasket and seals checked for leaks and replaced were necessary. From the moment the BEAMS engine was installed, it has run flawlessly and been driven approx 10,000 miles. 1998 JDM s54 transmission, with LSD (Limiter Slip Differential), was professionally installed in 2012 with approx 36000 miles on it. Before installation new clutch was installed and, to lower RPMs at highway speeds and increase gas mileage, 5th gear was replaced with a new, higher ratio, fifth gear used in the s51 (Toyota Camry) transmission. At 60mph the car gets a consistent 35-36 mpg and at 65mph it gets a consistent 32-33 mpg. Ceramic coated stock BEAMS header was installed to reduce heat and for appearances. New custom stainless exhaust installed (single pipe with Y connection at the rear for dual exhaust). I have the original, single exhaust, muffler. Four new OEM shocks installed in 2013. New front break pads, rotors, and new calipers replaced in 2014. EXTERIOR(red) All Parts that were used are genuine Toyota parts. Gt4 hood and front bumper, imported from Japan, installed and painted by professional Body Shop. Stock 7th generation 16” Toyota wheels bought new in 2011. Kumo 205x 55x 16 tires have about 10000 miles on them and are in very good shape. Car was originally red and had been re-painted red prior to me owning it. The paint is in good condition with a few small paint chips and a few small surface scratches. There are no dents and the body is rust free. The car is accident free. The top is in excellent condition and was replaced in 2010 by the Toyota dealer. The automatic top functions perfectly. The car also has the rare Tourneau cover for when the top is down. INTERIOR(black leather) Pros: Dash board, steering wheel, instrument cluster, rugs, floor mats, front passenger seat, back seats all in great shape. It has stock stereo with single in-dash CD player and in-dash tape player. The automatic antenna works fine. New windshield installed in 2012. Both side mirrors work fine. All rubber seals are in good shape. Windows work fine (new regulator installed in left back window in 2011). Cons: Driver seat bottom is split and needs attention. When I had the bolster redone the upholstery shop said, the cost to fix the split would be about $150-$200. As I said, the passenger seat is in good condition with no rips or splits. The door cards have some very minor “ ripples” in them but no scuffs, splits or tears. Sun visors not ripped or torn but they are tired. The car is mechanically a 10 out of 10, the exterior is an 8 out of 10 and the interior is a 6 out of ten. As all of you know, I have way more money invested in this car than I can sell it for. Let's start with $7900 or best offer. I have many pictures that I can email to you if interested. My email is peter@thegiorgios.com or tel# 5084324645. The car is located in Massachusetts. Shoot me an email or phone call if interested. Thanks, Peter |
