I think that if you left the car stock (restored, I assume) and sold it or modded it and sold it you wont make your money back.

Look at it from this point of view - it's a thirty year old car that was one of the 'first generation' of plastic cars, if you like.

Interior parts in good condition are hard to find, if you can.

That means custom made if you want the interior original.

Custom made = exspensive

The body's gonna need work and the suspension is probably shagged.

Even after you've done all that what are you gonna sell it for? 5 or 6g's at most probably and that's after you've spent 30 for someone else to do all the work.

Mod it and then you still have to restore it and then pay for the mods!!

If you want resale value, find a stuffed e-type jag or 2000GT (Ohh yeah, now thats what I'm talking 'bout!) and restore it for 30g's and sell it for 100000.

Thats my long way of saying, old celicas have little resale value so you won't make any money selling it stock or modded.

Either way, I still love my '76!
