Toyota Celica GT Liftback 1977

Toyota Celica GT Liftback 1977

Up For Sale Toyota Celica GT Liftback 1977

Found this one immaculate example of the Japanese Mustang being offered for sale on Craigslist looking for $12500 located in Minnesota. As shown here is Toyota Celica GT Liftback released in 1977, it's the final model of the first generation Celica that was designed and sold for the North American market during the muscle car hegemony era, also intend to steal the hearts of the Shelby Mustang enthusiasts who not have enough budget to buy the original.

But unlike most cheaper imitation stuff, the Celica has a lot of good reputations by itself such as in the motorsports world championship, especially in many rallying competitions around the world. The engine base is great has good durability, is very reliable, and is fast but a good saver of gas than the Mustang, but not change anything, Mustang is Mustang it's about a different segment.

Perfect To Restored, 1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT

1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT

Perfect To Restored, 1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT for sale

Found this one being offered on Craigslist looking for $7500 located in California. Very good object to restore, this an Italian classic car built in 1977 by Alfa Romeo well-known as the Alfetta GT, is a complete car, running and driving report. The car looks potential and promising, not so much rotten as seen from here, and seems not so wide to restoration.

This 1977 Alfa Romeo GT fair condition comes in a red body frame but the original is blue, not perfect but it has a good shape with a light rust issue. The owner claimed is a GTV model but the badge showed just GT which was understandable, he was not an Alfa Romeo enthusiast so not very familiar with these cars, so intends to sell them.

This a few works needed to be great again, the audio system very clearly in need, dash pad must be replaced and reupholstery could be good, especially for its both front seats. Overall it's a good base to renovate, no rotted shown here.

As you've seen here a 2.0 liter inline 4 engine non-turbo backed by manual transmission is said to run well and shift well, no issue but for sure must come to a closer inspection to accurately calculate. Could be great it's a perfect base to rebuild.

Limited Production, 1977 Chevy Monza Mirage For Sale

Here's found a unique muscle car that was listed on Craigslist looking for a new home. As shown here is the top of the rare Chevy Monza range known as the Mirage, which was released in 1977. The Chevy Monza was offered by Chevrolet and comes from a limited production line for the 1975-1980 model years, based on the Chevy Vega.

This could be a remarkable example of the 1977 Chevy Monza Mirage was recognizable by white paint, with red and blue racing stripes along the length of the car. It also features flared body panels, and a special air dam and spoiler. The sheet metal looks straight with no dents or rust.

No words for genuineness, but it’s the correct color scheme of the original interior. The appearance looks good, materials all look nice and clean. The seats, steering wheel, a gear lever has a good shape and the dash appears to be free of cracks. Hoped all features, instruments, and panels still work properly too.

The engine compartment looks tidy with clean surfaces and organized wiring, was filled by a new 406 cui motor with a custom V8 intake scoop. Despite no details provided by the seller, it looks promising, bigger, and more powerful than the standard Vega engine.

The car was listed on Craigslist about 25 days ago still online when we write here, asking $12500 located in Lake County, Illinois. As always a closer inspection is needed to accurately condition.
