1985 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America
"Very sporty, at a great bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just got the car. Got it running, but there seems to be a busted rod or a loose, worn cam or crank bearing. Not really sure yet. It has a serious knocking and loss of compression.
Interior is in good condition. It also has the electric sun roof. I think it will be a good car.
General comments?
Heard a lot about the quick and powerful GT-S models. I can't wait to get it rebuilt and see if the road can hold it. It had good steering while it was being towed.
