About this 1977 Toyota Celica GT

VIN: RA290789

I am original owner , garaged for 50 years .
Oil changed religiously especially first 2000 miles . The oil was yellow for many years due to frequent changes. .
driven barely 100 miles in 20 past years while kept in top condition: drove it only once a year for two miles to circulate oils and move the fuel.
no accidents
No cracks in any glass
no flaws in dash , no cracks
flawless center console

Repairs / Flaws :
wheel well rust cut out ; bondo / fiberglas / rough primer , not painted
vinyl ceiling held up with oversized ceiling lamp trim cover plate
new water pump, new thermostat , new belts and coolant hoses, new front pads, just rebuilt in-tank electric fuel pump with new screening : works great
new fuel filter less than 10 miles
new battery : Oct 2024; 800 CCA Diehard
all of above parts are new with less than 100 miles since I repaired / replaced .
Many of these projects have 100's of photos documenting the work.
clutch replaced sometime long ago by INDY: guessing approx 60,000 miles ???
all gauges , blower , radio , lights functional , trip meter
A/C charge is empty
driver remote control knob not functional
driver seat back has missing cracked vinyl piece approx 4 inches x 2inches; seat covers are installed to protect.
rear chrome bumper has a depression approx 1.5 inch; photo posted
cabin carpet is pristine ; due to no kids, no pets , no smoking
rear chrome window trim is flaking
3 or 4 new tires since 2008. most recent tire is 2016 receipt $80 , but not driven on the three new tires
under carriage shows very little rust because it was not driven in winter , rarely in rain
ESP functional except I did not replace the wiring tp the new brake pad sensors so ESP "BRAKE" lights up .
original battery low electrolyte level sensor was removed , circuit bypassed due to new battery style does not permit sensor circuit, sensor is in trunk .
original tire jack equipment with green bag
spare tire has new extra hub cap
one tire wheel shows scraping
rubber steering column was surgically sliced to access/ repair a wiring issue with the horn ; this cut-out is not readily visible unless you look upward from gas pedal
rocker panels were rusted ; rust cut out and stainless steel cover panel plate was riveted and Bondo and rough primer
original muffler still rust free: photos available
Fires up immediately
original front floor mats are worn .
I removed the driver side window weather stripping to prime door and did not replace it ; it is in the trunk.
I have a video of the engine smoothly running that I can share with interested buyer .I don't have a youtube account to share a URL

A fresh paint job will make this a showpiece item .
