The Ultimate Baja100-Inspired Classic: The Modified TA40 Celica
Ever dreamt of owning a car that stands out from the crowd, yet holds the essence of a classic? Dive into the world of this heavily modified TA40 Celica, a unique blend of classic charm and rugged Baja100 spirit. This isn’t just another modified car; it’s a testament to the love of classics combined with the thrill of off-road racing.
A Classic Reimagined The vision behind this Celica was clear: to craft it reminiscent of the iconic trophy Baja100 cars. Yet, the beauty lies in its adaptability. While it currently boasts a rugged, race-ready persona, it’s designed to be reverted to its original stock form without a hitch. This flexibility ensures that whether you’re an off-road enthusiast or a classic car purist, this Celica caters to both souls.
Under the Hood At its heart lies a 1.6 twin-carbed 2TB engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. But that’s not all; an AMR 500 supercharger pumps about 5psi of boost, giving it that extra kick. The car also features an external oil cooler, a skyline performance alloy radiator with an electric fan, and a safari snorkel. The V2 autopilot air ride on all four corners, offering 6” of travel, ensures a smooth ride regardless of the terrain.
Interior & Aesthetics Step inside, and you’re greeted with seats from the same period Alfa Romeo GTV, fitting seamlessly into the car’s interior. A roll cage ensures safety, complemented by harnesses, though the original seat belts remain intact. The Auto Plas rear louvred window adds to the car’s distinct look.
A Package Deal The sale isn’t just about the car. A comprehensive spares package accompanies it, ensuring you have everything you might need. From a spare engine to a 2TG twin cam head shipped directly from Japan, brake pads, genuine Toyota air filters, and even the original radiator and hoses. Plus, two sets of wheels are included, featuring the rare Walter Wolf racing front wheels with banded steel rears.
This TA40 Celica is more than just a car; it’s a project, a passion, and a statement. While it’s been crafted with utmost care and precision, it still offers room for personal touches. Whether you’re looking to continue its journey as a Baja100-inspired beast or revert it to its original glory, the choice is yours.
For those genuinely interested, viewing is highly recommended. Dive into the world of this unique Celica, and you might just find your next automotive love.
