So, a friend of mine is looking for a 73-74 Celica Coupe. He's being short on why he's looking for one, but I have a feeling that it's going to be as cool as his current one. So, if any of you have a line on a 73-74 Celica Coupe (he don't want no liftbacks), let me know and I'll pass them along.

2k or less would be ideal. It doesn't need to be running but rolling is a big plus.

Also, the closer to the Seattle area, the better.

It's gotta be a 73-74 Celica Coupe. I found him a decent 76 nearby but he's adamant about the year.

Odd....I'm really curious as to what he may be up to then....

Well, the car pictured above has a 3SGE BEAMS swap done to it so I'm thinking he is going bigger (1UZ or 1/2JZ) and keeping the BEAMS Celica for funsies.

If he's down to drive all the way here to the Bay Area, I'd be willing to help out.

Yeah me too. A running 73-74 Celica for 2K would be a buy know, wonder where to put it later.

A few, but its WAYY over his price range. Does your friend wanna pass up the smog restriction?
I have a friend who's selling his for 2500.

And here's around the Bay-ish:

Smog isn't an issue here in WA (no smog on anything 25 years or older). And what forums are you on? We're on Classic-Celica and 1stGen Celica (although I haven't looked on 1stGen personally).

You have to excuse me though cause I own a S30, but some posters in these fourms usually sell a classic JDM other than Datsun. I'm on ratsun, hybridZ, zcar, nicoclub, classiczcar, and zdriver.

J-tin is J-tin. I don't discriminate based on brand.

I love the first generation Celicas. When I was in college, I passed on one that needed a bit of work but was in overall decent shape for $600. Ended up with a Mitsubishi Starion project instead. It's amazing how rare and thus expensive all of the older JDM cars are getting these days.

But yeah, the oldest Celica on my craigslist is a 1999, so no luck there.
