I'm Toyotageek and this is my 1977 Toyota Celica GT liftback. The car is pretty much all original (including the beautiful orange paint) and the only non stock parts are the Hella headlamps. I am the second owner, and I've owned this car since 1991. It currently has approximately 60,000 miles on the odometer.

This car was featured in the October 2005 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine #2.

I manage several Groups including:
Classic Toyota Town Yahoo! Group
Toyopet Crown Group
2000GT MSN Group

I am a member of the Toyota Owner's and Restorer's Club

Here is my Celica and my friends Celica (foreground).  My friend is the original owner of his car - he bought it new from the dealer in 1977. Pinstripping, Vector wheels, and Shadow louver were all dealer options. We've seen a 3rd Orange Celica driving around town that we are trying to track down...

I had a white 77 Celica GT / non-fastback, I bought it new in 1977, my 1st new car, when I was 18!! It had the same striping along the base as yours, (can you post a closer up picture?) I can attest to the fact that yours has the original paint scheme!! I don't have any pictures of my car, I have been looking all through this site and yours is the closest to what I had...mine was white with brown and orange striping, on the hood, along the base and it also had racing stripes on the rear quarter panel. Yours is nice and I remember seeing some back then exactly like yours. Your so lucky to have it!!!
