hello thea fello's JDMCHATS!!! i recently jus bought a 1979 celica ST...man it nice but i can't find any info on it...i was wondering if anyone knoe about these celica's?
Cool deal but why did you buy it without much prior knowledge? From what I know of more recent Celicas, the ST is the base model.
Second Generation (1978-1981) The second generation Celica was released in 1978 (production began in late 1977), and was again available in both Coupe and Liftback forms. The Coupe was no longer a true hardtop; both Coupe and Liftback had frameless door glass but featured a thick "B" pillar. Series A Toyota Celica 1978-1979 ~YOU HAVE A SERIES A~ The second generation Celica can also be broken down into two series of release (known as Series A and Series B). These two Celica’s were only distinguishable by appearance - both having the same engine capacity. Series A Celica's (1977-1979) were released with round headlights and chrome bumpers for lower grades. The higher grades such as GT has black rubber bumpers. The Series B Celica (1980-1981) was released with square headlights and Black rubber bumpers and various other 'minor' differences. Power for North American models was provided by 2.4L 2400cc 22r engine for both ST and GT models. Japan and other destinations have 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 liter. This new generation offered more safety, power and fuel economy than previous models, and was awarded Motor Trend's "Import Car of the Year" for 1978. Japanese models were ET, LT, ST, SE, XT, GT, and GTV. The GT and GTV have 18R-G Twincam engine. Later the GTV was replaced by GT Rally. In 1980, a four-door version was announced, known as the Toyota Celica Camry. This model was a Toyota Carina with a Celica front end. The Camry was spun off as its own model two years later. Series B Toyota Celica 1980-1981 A unique one-off development of this series was a car-derived pickup, designed by Toyota's California studio in 1977. The limited edition "US Grand Prix" GT Liftback was offered in 1980, and in 1981 the GTA Coupe was released to celebrate the Celica 10th Anniversary. There were about 70 different models of 2nd generation Celica ever sold in Japan, although at one time there were 49. You Sir Made a Very Wise Investment with the Purchase of that Year and Model~ Now Please go Park it in a Garage Because It Is a CLASSIC... :woot: hsnap:

Yeah, I think we seen the one with the F20 at the Japanese Classic Car Show. I believe the owner joined here as well.
