1991 Toyota Celica GT Convertible 2-Door 2.2L

1991 Celica GT Convertible

All 5th generation Celica convertibles were built by American Sunroof Corporation (ASC) in California and this is one of few remaining nice examples. It has been a Georgia car its entire life and is utterly rust free. This one was opted from the factory with the same 2.2-liter 16V 5S-FE that graced the GT-S version of the Celica mated to an automatic transmission. It retains its very nice original grey cloth interior and has been re-painted in its original Toyota Super White.

The current owner of this car is a retired certified mechanic and bought it as sort of a retirement project to have some fun with and occupy his time.

He went through the engine and the following repairs were made: New oil pump, new water pump, cylinder head removed, pressure checked and decked, then a valve job was performed.

Engine disassembled, rod and main bearings mic’d and replaced with new standard bearings. New timing belt and tensioner. New map sensor, fuel tank cleaned and new fuel pump installed, rebuilt ac/compressor, receiver drier replaced. Lastly, he installed a new battery.

After that he repaired the transmission valve body, replaced the seals, changed the filter and installed fresh ATF. While he was in the transmission he mic’d and checked the clutches and they were in great shape. The car shifts perfectly, has no leaks and makes no unusual noises.

Though the car drove well, he decided due to the high miles, he would replace the stabilizer bar bushings, tie rod ends, front and rear struts, front wheel bearings (& seals) front brake rotors and brake pads, front brake calipers, rear wheel cylinders and brake pads all the way around.

Once all that was done, he turned his attention to cosmetics. The car was actually quite presentable but he decided to remove the convertible top, clean it and re-seal it. He also refurbished the lift cylinders for the top along with the hydraulic pump.

All the gauges, lights and accessories work. The power windows work well as does the cruise control. The Air Conditioning works great (as does the heater!).

The car’s current owner has enjoyed working with this little gem of a car as it has responded so well to each repair he has made. Though the miles are high, he has achieved his goal of making this car reliable and fun again.

He is now ready to start on his next project. To that end, he is offering the little Celica for sale here on Ebay in the hopes that it goes to a new owner who will take good care of it and continue to shower it with love as he has. This car has been well refreshed and is ready to deliver its new owner many miles of enjoyment. So, if you would like a fun, sporty, economical and reliable car that you don’t see every day anymore this may be the car for you. It has a clear title and is currently registered. This car can be driven anywhere. Thanks for looking! Please do not hesitate to email with any questions or any specific picture requests.
