As utterly weird as this car was (is), it remains an “era favourite” for me. Design-wise it leads the “crisp folded” look that became dominant in the early 80s. Flakey as they were, the instruments laid the groundwork for the digital dash designs of the 80s.

NP - I wouldn’t buy it, but the price seems reasonable.

Given the state of many of the “hole-y grail” Jeeps you’ve been lusting after lately, I’m going to suggest that your cup runneth over (and through) ... 

How the hell do you get one of those to go fast enough to gain that kind of air?  Where’s the cannon it was shot out of?

I never thought this was a bad looking vehicle.  It’s not a great pickup truck, but it was a decent little entry into the retro wars kicked off by the PT Cruiser. 

A cabover pickup truck? Yes, please.

It’s a shelf ornament. You’re not expected to wear it per se - it’s meant more as an objet d’art than anything else.

Consider that any one of them could be an asymptomatic carrier, for starters. That means anywhere they stopped, they likely left virus particles on surfaces. Add to this the speculation that there are regional variations of the virus developing, which they could well have spread across the country.

At a first glance, I thought this was some redneck’s joke - take an old truck topper and stuff it on the roof of a European mini-van ... I wasn’t far wrong.

Which is probably 95% of all truck owners out there: they need a truck occasionally, and then buy some $50K+ monstrosity as a daily driver.

Hard CP.

WTAF?  How stupid are these people??? (Don’t answer that, the question was rhetorical)

I paid $0.655/l (works out to $2.47 US Gallon) - and Canada’s gas prices have always been a fair bit higher than US in my adult life.  I haven’t seen prices below $0.70/l since about 2001. 

Edge of CP territory. The price seems to be about $2500 more than I would expect (but there were never a lot of these around, so doing a comparison on the usual sources is a little difficult)

Most designers were still trying to figure out how to do integrated bumpers _and_ meet the 5mph requirement back then.  Strangely that never bothered me on that gen of Celica, but I can appreciate what you are saying.  The Supra version definitely fixed some of the proportion issues.  (There’s a Mk II Supra that I see…

That difference appears to be based on curb weight. The 1985 (first year for the W10) weighed in at 2282 lb curb weight; and the T-top versions of the weighed in at 2888lb curb weight. (Regular roof was 2599lb curb weight). The W10 SC models (which were also T-roof, IIRC weighed in at 2493 - so I presume the…

I can’t say I’ve seen any that look like the homologation models around here. (It could well be that they existed, I just never noticed them)

I simply didn’t like where Toyota went in the 90s. The fifth and sixth gen Celicas do nothing for me.

That particular version of the Corolla was one of Toyota’s best efforts in the 70s - the SR5 model was particularly nice inside (almost as nice as the Celica liftback).  

I’m with you - I never did care much for the second gen MR2 - it lacked the sheer pizzazz and spunk that the first gen had.
