Today we bring you a drop-top 1992 Toyota Celica GT. Just in time for fall.



This one has a bit over 100K miles and appears to have been well-maintained and kept in good shape. The seller says the car runs and drives well.

The only real problems are some minor paint blemishes and a weakening signal with the radio amplifier.

You can see more about the car, including some of the work that has been done, by clicking here. This one is for sale in Virginia for $8,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    • I could if you gave me a link but you hate your job so here we are.

    Cool car, but any ASC convertible conversion has the structural rigidity of a piece of wet Kleenex.


    If it was a coupe with a third pedal. Yes.

      The additional weight makes up for the wigglies - ask the convertible guys. 🙃


  • Normie I like Corey's posts because his earnest effort makes for a civilized comment space.And I get more information and curiosity from his lavish coverage of a car that was never "me" than from any articles I've seen about my cherished tall & boxies.
  • Bookish So some lawyer comes up with a scam to shake down the auto industry and the NYT makes it an ethical crusade against Ford. And you repeat it moralistically and uncritically.
  • Normie "Big Oil"From OZ?
  • AZFelix This generation of Cadillac articles also shows consistent placement of photos relative to the corresponding text.
  • Biff Finally the chickens have come home to roost. I have been saying this for three years: just wait until the EV’ers have to pay the road tax. Lets not forget that it’s California we are talking about and they have never met a tax they didn’t like. Plus it’s “the rich” buying new cars so its a double “lets tax’em!” The solution is simple enough. Have EV’s go into emissions stations as part of license plate renewal. Except here record the milage and get a bill for the cost. The rate should be around 1.5X the comparable gas size vehicle due to added weight. Lets watch the progessive politics swallow this one!
