I found some old pics of my car from around May 2011 on Google Maps, sitting right in and outside the shop that I bought the car from in 2016! Crazy how fast the condition of the paint deteriorated in just 5 years... she used to look so good! There even was a factory pinstripe on my car!

Sweet! Good to know I'm not the only one cyberstalking my celica  :unsure:
The oldest i could find was a 2016 street view of red car vs a mustang at the dealer... mustang definitely losing

It's retro style badge from a long defunct dealer (in the same town where I got it) is relocated in the cargo area after I bondoed the hatch

And a vehiclehistory.com search of the vin reveales that it actually rolled out of the factory in '82 despite the fact that it's an '83 gts?


Does everyone's Celica come from Tahara?
83 GT Sport

A vehiclehistory.com search shows pretty much the same thing for me, car rolled off the line in late 1983 making it a 1984 model year car. Also produced in Tahara.
