 Well, this exists: 170k miles on the slowest combo of Celicas from that generation (4sp auto combined with an incredibly peaky 8000rpm engine, so it falls out of the powerband with every upshift), and a CEL that stayed off long enough to maybe pass emissions but turns on regularly. The 1994 was never great and has been ruined, a 2000 GT-S automatic shouldn't have existed in the first place. Both of these are junk, of course.

Which is why I'm a fool for thinking of it still. Though I think parts are easier to find in europe than in US for japanese trucks.

I mean you clearly want the truck and are fully aware of parts availability just go buy it, there's a lot worse or more expensive mistakes you could be making

I wonder if buying a car that was "engineer owned" is like buying a house that was owned by an electrician or plumber.

It is cool, but I agree that hasn't run since probably the Carter administration or earlier.

    Speaking of things that haven't run since the Carter administration, but will probably still be on the road long after you're cold in the ground: Bonus points, mopar flathead inline 6

On the flip side, it blows my mind that every time I talk about burying something 4" underground, someone from the rust belt crawls out of the woodwork to proudly announce that would never work here! frost heave  Some guy who bought my dad's old '68 Camaro reached out to me via email one day and was very quick to point out "it's a California car"

The entire rear quarters were bondo. Most of that car was built with reproduction steel. Doesn't mean poo poo if it spent its days parked on a beach.

An old inline-6 really is a joy. My Studebaker was 12 years newer but looked basically the same, except it was OHV instead of flathead. One vacuum line in the whole car.

Packard 8 limousine. Needs work. https://barnfinds.com/bf-auction-1949-packard-super-deluxe-eight-lwb-sedan/         a lot of lies and wishful thinking posted:The driver’s side front floor and rocker are rotted, with smaller sections in the trunk pan. However, the issues haven’t compromised the car’s structural integrity, meaning the winning bidder could fabricate replacement sections to return the body to a rust-free state. Packards of this era are basically American Rolls Royces, imo. if this goes for under $6000 might be a good value to the right person. See thread title for details

OHV I6, but maybe the auto transmission was hurting it a bit. I later "upgraded" to an 86 Crown Vic which could get 16mpg

Same year Packard as Doc Brown’s convertible, inventing a time machine might be the easiest way to restore it.
