I bought a new 1977 Celica GT Liftback in late 76 and drove that car for like 13 years+ and with hardly any unusal maintenance.Just tires , oil, filters ,brakes , tires. Great little touring car for my wife and I when we were dating and work commuter, finally body rusted so we gave it to a friend to use.
Mine was Silver with the black interior.
