1973 Toyota Celica Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I fell instantly in love with my little dark green 73 Celica the first time I saw it!! I gave it four stars due to lack of power steering and it had a little quirk of stalling whenever I made a hard left hand turn LOL but otherwise it was everything a young girl needed!! The racing stripe, the rubber bumpers, power brakes, a/c, black leather bucket seats, the whole shebang! Background story: My Dad traded cars allll the time. So one day he left in the family car, a long white Cadillac, and later that day he came into the house saying, Come look at what happened to the Caddy on my way home! I got stuck between two semis! Thinking wed see a squashed Cadillac, imagine our surprise when we saw that little Celica and I just HAD to have it! Two years later, it was mine as my graduation present. A few years later got married and then we had a baby. Sadly, I had to sell it, it was too small for our needs. I saw Barney (that was what I named the car, not our son LOL) zipping around for years and then sometime in the late 90s, no longer saw it. What a GREAT little car...thanks for the memories, ol Barney! I loved you!Apr 16, 2024

Love how this car handles. Braking and acceleration is awesome and handles really well. She hasn't needed to much in regards to repairs but has had a lot of replacement parts under the bonnet, but that's to be expected for her age. Exterior body work is still on great condition and the interior is spotless, however if I ever had the money would love to re-do the interior door panels, floors and put a sturdier rear-window parcel shelf in so that I could finally have the 6x9 200W speakers I want. Wouldn't mind putting a sports steering wheel in too, and exchanging the current pedals for racing ones too :-) I love driving this car!!Sep 02, 2010
