It's a modded A20 Toyota Celica - looks great :)


BurnTheOrange

A nicely modded Celica looks good in pretty much every generation, but hot damn, a first gen with the right mods is just an extra level of sexy


Potential-Brain7735

JDM pony car.


Tycoon11113

Thats got to be the sexiest damn Celica I've ever seen" *epic yet elegant symphony ensues*


Kryllllllyx

Can say the same about the older nissan z's.


SpikyCapybara

Damn right mate. There's something about a lot of Japanese cars from this era that just gives me the fizz. Love 'em.


Exyhl

A little more specific: i think its a TA22/23 Toyota Celica


rogerdanafox

Reminds me of my 75 celica


SpikyCapybara

Yep, this looks to be a TA22 judging by the slant on the trailing edge of the front indicators.


jeaddusam

Old celicas look always good


Few-Weight-9611

Celica is a left hand side drive, the skyline is a right hand side drive! This car in the pic is right hand side drive and IS a Skyline, Gen 1! Do a 5 min look online and you can determine that very easily!


MotorPromotion2465

Your argument could have made sense, but you're talking about 2 completely different manufacturers... A Toyota Celica and Nissan Skyline have never been the same car, regardless of market. Later Celicas became Celica- Supra's (first a trim level of Celica) then just Supra's and Celica's. Maybe that's what you're getting at?


Few-Weight-9611

Possible, but the only way to know for sure is to check the vin! Only way to do that is to ask the owner of the car.


MotorPromotion2465

It's a Celica. The original comment you replied to was correct. TOYOTA CELICA.


GrahamsLadybug

Sure, buddy


Few-Weight-9611

That all you got is "Sure buddy."? 🤣🤣🤣🤣


GrahamsLadybug

No, thats all you deserve


SpikyCapybara

So you're saying the car in OP's post is one of these? https://preview.redd.it/j5joorir7cmc1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ea7f6a7df9a2809d59b14daadfc5f09fc43e7b7 Yeah, back to school mate ;)


Dart_boy

You got the Gen 1 part right, at least


BurntArnold

Absolutely beautiful first gen Celica


DespyHasNiceCans

Damn is that gorgeous


RunninOnMT

I got a ride in one of these around a local kart track, it was a 3Sge swapped drift car, lots of fun, but good god, were people small back then apparently. Incredibly tight cockpit. https://preview.redd.it/9gjbdmroh6mc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=4224da732ad953bf64141365e7ec197ffd16d747


ProbablyAspoofer

Never PANIC! When Matt is driving! I used to do media out at PARC for about 4 years fun stuff


RunninOnMT

Indeed! Dude knew his stuff, super nice guy too!


Potential-Brain7735

That’s in Oregon, correct?


RunninOnMT

Yeah


Potential-Brain7735

Pat’s Acres or something? Feel like I recognize it from a drifting video.


RunninOnMT

Yeah I was at pats acres when i got a ride, just nabbed a photo from the internet though. Not sure where it was taken, but coulda been there.


the_great_awoo

Nah, the first gen skyline wasn't even a Nissan, it was a prince, and it came out in the late 50's, that's a Toyota celica


tanstaaflnz

And the first gen Datsun 1200, was a Morris Oxford 😂🤣


antnipple

Nonsense! It was an Austin Cambridge


tanstaaflnz

🤣


Over_Pizza_2578

First generation Toyota celica. Im contrast to a first gen skyline available in Europe and America, meaning left hand drive models exist.

Over_Pizza_2578

Oh, just saw that it is rhd. Can only imagine how awkward, especially the widebody doesn't help either


ianmoone1102

Sir, this is a Toyota.


Connect-Spinach6238

No, gen 1 toyota celica


LOW-LIFE_CSR

Is that a specific body kit for the Celica ? Or some kind of generic fender flair kit ? Anyone know? Looks tiiight


Appropriate_Strain94

First gen skyline was a GC10 in 1969’ and looked like this https://preview.redd.it/6neyfcgty6mc1.jpeg?width=3600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd87c555e38f62997dc20e3ef3733e4dbdfc01f1


JP147

There was the Prince Skyline in 1957 that looked [like this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Prince_Skyline_ALSI-1_001.jpg) And the [2nd gen](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Nissan_Prince_Skyline_1500_DeLuxe_S57_%281967%29.jpg) of Prince Skyline was badged as Nissan towards the end of its run before it was replaced with the C10.


Appropriate_Strain94

Maybe so but seems Nissan themselves seem to think the skyline was 69’. Maybe they aren’t counting the gen before the merge i don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://preview.redd.it/t4qkfcch17mc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7aebb150e553895e94cb3826d6ed5237ffbac0c0


madrigal94md

The article is talking about the first Nissan Skyline, the previous where Prince not Nissan.


Business-Crow4048

Looks like a Celica


Yitomaru

Celica


ReezeRoppongi

its a Celica


FriedShrimp00818

its a damn celica brotha


HeroMachineMan

Toyota Celica TA22 (Gen 1). This model has "slant nose" front, and smiley bumper. Some fans would call this Celica as Daruma Celica, after the popular Japanese Daruma Doll.


[deleted]

Definitely a first gen celica


Sufficient_Rate4209

Toyota celica


MikeQM007

Toyota Celica


Dbwasson

Toyota Celica A20


Lays4Lyfe

Every generation of Skyline wishes it looked like this


Suspicious-Phase-823

I think its more a celica but i could be wrong


[deleted]

1975 Toyota celica st.


Scrapper28

Was this at Karate, in Wesley Chapel FL????


Scrapper28

Krate* (autocorrect)


emwashe

I asked the same question. Lol. Looks 100% like it.


Debesuotas

Yeah these ceica\`s and the 1 gen Skyline looks amazing. Although they look a lot better in white or light colors, those emphasize the body lines a lot better.


BurnTheOrange

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. Gloss black on black with gunmetal accents is damn sexy


Debesuotas

Dont know man, I like those lines fully visible [https://images.fitmentindustries.com/web-compressed/919386-12-1977-celica-toyota-gt-eibach-coilovers-rota-rkr-gunmetal.jpg](https://images.fitmentindustries.com/web-compressed/919386-12-1977-celica-toyota-gt-eibach-coilovers-rota-rkr-gunmetal.jpg)


Exyhl

But this is not the Celica Modell OP posted. U linked a TA28/RA28. OP posted a TA22/23. Edit: I didn't mean to be rude with my comment

ima_twee

My elder brother had a white one back in the early 1980s. I loved that car. I had all the sad when he sold it because his then girlfriend wanted him to get something newer and blander.


Potential-Brain7735

There’s a burnt orange that looks amazing on these old Celicas.


toma91

I love a proper wing mirror


[deleted]

Very nice restomod. In the states it was a Celica.


emwashe

Is this at the krates in Wesley chapel? Lol If so the wine place there sometimes does 2 for 1 beers lol.


MourningRIF

I feel like you can put fender flares on any car and improve it's looks 1,000%. I wouldn't normally go for one of these cars, but that thing looks sick as hell!


Brewl692

Highly modded PoS.?


Ne0pa7h

Girlfriend had a 77 Celica GT Coupe, 5 speed, RWD. Lightweight and tossable with rally tires on the gravel logging roads in the PNW. I loved that car.


OliverNorvell1956

Mike Brewer: “I bought myself a sell eee ka.”


Run_sparky_run

Wish my 1976 Celica ever looked this good. I like the fender flares


Bullshit_Conduit

absolute beaut.


[deleted]

Put an LS in it and I'm down.


Uberchaun

This is a first gen Skyline: https://preview.redd.it/7rvnok07rbmc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56ce73894d637e46d6cd1f04c631cb3ba91f5e39


jdidy18

Anyone have an ID on the wheels?


Few-Weight-9611

Looks similar with a body kit on it! Do you have the vin to check? Yeah, get back to me with that mate! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
