'78 Toyota Celica on DoneDeal

VolvoMan

Original Irish car at a slightly optimistic price: http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/1451008

kasper

a rare sight all right it looks savable but i suppose it depends how much rust is hiding and remember thats the asking price not the what it sells for

mondeo

I'd love it, could be rotten as a peach though.

kasper

yeah but do you two grand love it , if its half way decent you could put four more grand into it and still not be finished

It's the plate that's worth the money.

kasper

yeah i know and having something on original old style irish plates is a whole lot nicer than the alternative as long as the car is authentic

It's done pretty well too to survive the mid 90's scrappage scheme and the general structural rust associated with Japanese cars of that era.

kasper

loads of stuff out there if a man had the money and space

kasper

is it not a bit strange that he took three photos of the drivers side one incorporating the front of the car and none of the passengers side or back its not like there was something in the way , if he only photoed the good parts he will be lucky to get rid of it at all

Rust or Weld

Its a gt celica very rare car so would be worth about €800 to €1000 in that condition imo

Big Nasty

Saw this this morning and nearly spilled my tea! :eek:

526HIF is a 1979 reg.

That rear quarter looks very ropey...

Rare or not,if its a wreck its not worth that cash. A few of these got raced in Rosegreen in Demoliton derbys years ago. Lads would drive them to the track,then kick/smash out the windows and wreck them.:(

This is why i bought my 200L. Its a miracle any of the jap stuff survived!

These 70's original Irish Jap sports cars are popping up out of no where alll of a sudden: http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/1401399

I actually saw it in the dreamer's thread on the motor section and they're right, it is crazily priced.

kasper

at least on the datsun it shows both sides of the car , but a crazy price
