    This is my Rosie's Celica GTS. Just finished detaling it and thought I'd get some pictures. 24 years old and still looking great. She won't part with it-no reason to. It serves her well and still earns compliments:) This is what Toyota's all about. This one was 100% built in Japan and shipped over here. This is what $21,000 got you in 1987! Thanks for looking:)

    Yes.
    Awesome! That is a clean fourth generation! Is that the original 8D8 light blue metallic?

    I really miss my fifth generations now...

    Yes.
    Celicas are my favorite. (Shh.) And that's amazing, I have never seen a fourth generation that clean, especially with original paint. I am glad to see someone else who appreciates them!

    Oh, and you should post more photos. :)

    Thanks for that compliment and Rosie is going to be thrilled that her car is being appreciated:D I have to pat myself on the shoulder as I am the primary maintainer of this gem all these years. Rosie gets props for its condition because she really takes great care of this car and keeps it in top condition mechanically. Oh yeah I love this car-it's been in the family longer than the rest of our vehicles. I will get more pics and some interior shots too.

    It's an auto with OD:) It has that ETC power option too for extra RPMs between shifts so it can haul ass if you need it to. Funny though the 2.0litre in there is only 135hp but it moves pretty good!

    sounds good. If I get a celica I would want mine to be a manual.

    The '86-'87s are the same and they are super rare because few people bought them then due to prices. You could get a Camry for less and a Cressida (now it's an Avalon) for about the same as a GTS in those days. Rosie's is headed for classic status:)
