    I loved my 1977 5 speed Cellica GT Lift back. With the hatchback window levelers. Absolutely gorgeous. One of only a couple of 5 speeds in the USA. SO FRICKING COOL.

      I had a 77 silver hatchback. I had a nova 74 that needed a new transmission, so I bought it from the guy at the junkyard in Vermont where I was living. The car was very rusted but ran like a top. will never forget it. Have to get one now. they are classics. whatever, sedan or hatchback whatever comes up, I will buy on in the next few years

      I’ve got a 1977 celica, I’ve had it for a year or so. It’s like my weekend car.
      It’s cold 🥶 very now. Where I live. Temps in the minuses -3 to -7.
      I’m struggling to know where the antifreeze goes. ? Any help, would appreciate it 😊. Thanks

      More or less fully restored. The previous owner put on a GT Grill bonnet. Has a GT mean look to it.

    I had a 71 or 72 Celica ST which I bought when I finished college back in 1972. I paid $1,200 for it. I drove it 2 years then sold it for what I originally paid for it. It was a great car.

    Everyone seems to know the Celica ST model, which was most prevalent, and the GT, which added a 5spd transmission and wider tires and appeared in late 1973 in the US. But nobody seems to recall the LT- a decontented ST coupe. It had a different grille, removed the woodgrain from the dashboard, and a few other things. If anybody has a reasonably decent 74 GT for sale, I want one!

    @5:30 The R was also made in 1970 or the 1971 model year. I have one. It's an RA20 that had the 2L 18R engine in the ST trim. The engines in the US were 8R and 18R with 18RC for smog and 8RB for dual SU type carbs (I also have this engine setup). It's kinda odd to see a TA20 with the gas tank on the side, I thought that was for the TA21. The RA20 is very, very rare and the flat tail lights were all red.

      Unless you had the 18-R, but most of the line-up was 'meh' engine wise. That is why Toyota had the Supra.
