1988 Toyota Celica All Trac
Vehicle Description
Please read the ENTIRE description before bidding, and thank you for checking out my Celica for sale!
I'll be adding to this description and more pictures tomorrow, in the meantime please feel free to ask any questions.
I'm the third owner of this fourth gen Celica, first gen All- Trac / GTFOUR. This was the first time Toyota put a factory Turbo into an AWD car in their history and it is awesome. This generation All Trac / GT4 Celica also kicked off Toyota's journey into AWD in the WRC so this is a historic model. There were only under 11k made worldwide, and it is estimated that there are less than 400 in the US still in existence, so this is a relatively rare model as well!
I am the third owner, it is a clean title car. I bought it in December of 2022. It has been a Texas car until I bought it and moved it to Florida in December of 2022. I've done very little to it since purchase and I've driven it LESS THAN 4000 miles since I bought it.It runs without issue and has taken me on several hours long drives. All the rockers and undercarriage are free from rust. There are a few small spots of rust on the body (hood, sunroof panel) but none are very large, and I've neutralized the ones I have found. The paint looks good for its age, but I do not know if its the original paint job or not and its far from perfect although from 5 feet away you wouldn't be able to tell. NOTE!! This car has a manual transmission, if you can't drive stick, do not bid on this listing, I am not responsible for busted clutches or transmission cause you don't know what you're doing. The clutch and all five gears shift really well, no noises, no clunks, just a clean shift.
What I've added since buying it:1. I put new tires on the stock wheels. It will come with the black aftermarket wheels you see in a few of the pictures as well2. I put a TRD shift knob to keep the original in okay condition. Its in the glove box. It also has a shift boot from an AE86, the leather original was too far gone3. I put a new coupler from the turbo to the intercooler4. I put in a new aftermarket intercooler water pump5. A new battery6. New spark plug wires/spark plugs7. New air filter8. Oil Change9. A new decal set in the rear, that's why it says Turbo 4WD like the Canada models even though its an American All-Trac10. A new front left bearing, lower ball joint and wheel bolts11. A ceramic tint and a few decals
It will come with the bearing for the right side, and two replacement shocks for the front.(Not installed)
THE BADHere are the negatives, most are just related to it being an almost 40 year old car.1. Will need the shocks replaced. Still drives absolutely fine, but its clear the shocks dont have much life left.2. Highly recommend new rubber throughout, again not necessary but its 37 year old rubber, if you know old cars, you know its probably time.3. This has only happened three times, but on really really really hot days, it can have a starting issue once its been running for a while. I am always able to get it going again by just spraying some starting fluid up the intake, but there is also a fix for this issue that I've read about but just haven't gotten to.4. It came with a leather interior, and while the rest of the interior looks great, the seats have had their day. The only seat free from tears and sun damage is the driver seat but even it isn't perfect.
That's it! If you have any questions feel free to ask. There is no reserve, but I reserve the right to end the listing at any time in case it sells locally.
REGARDING SHIPPING:If you are not picking it up in person, I am not responsible for shipping this anywhere. I will meet with your tow company at whatever time we agree at my location but I will not arrange any shipping and there is no shipping cost included in the price!! The full amount is due by at least pickup!! If you haven't paid in full, I will not release the car/title/key!
