1973 Toyota Celica 1600GT-V TA22 DOHC Twin Cam 2T-G Solex Carbs "Daruma" GTV
★昭和48年 セリカ1600GT-V DOHC ツインカム 2TG ソレックスキャブ ダルマセリカGTV
This is a 1973 (Showa 48) Toyota Celica 1600GT-V, chassis TA22, the early "Daruma" bodystyle, powered by the DOHC twin-cam 2T-G engine fitted with Solex carburetors and paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. The car wears its original dark green paint and rides on aftermarket alloy wheels with adjustable coilover suspension, a strut tower bar, extractor-style exhaust manifold, a Momo steering wheel, and front and rear spoilers. Mileage is unknown due to its age (odometer reportedly shows around 42,170 km but this is not verified), and the vehicle currently has no valid Japanese vehicle inspection (shaken), being sold with a deregistration certificate. Ownership history includes multiple owners, and it is being sold as-is. Test drives and in-person inspection are available. Seller is located in Gunma Prefecture.
Seller notes cracking on the dashboard, tears and staining on the driver's seat, a detached (but present) right rear side window, a missing trunk mat, and cracked/dirty paint on the hood; the body otherwise has no notable dents or scratches. The engine reportedly runs well, but the brakes are described as weak, so the seller recommends transport via car carrier.
Shipping: Seller recommends the vehicle be picked up via a car-carrier (flatbed) truck due to poor brake performance rather than driven. No specific shipping company or freight cost is quoted; buyer coordinates transport after purchase.
