Hi,
No, it's a TA27, ST variant.
There were two models - the TA27 and the RA25
The TA27 had the 2T series engines and the RA25 had the 18R series engines. Both vehicles came out in LT, ST and GT variants. There was no ET or GTV version of these cars.
This particular vehicle should have a 2T-B engine (being an ST - 'cos only the GT version had the 2TG engine), but it appears the owner has replaced the 2T-B with the 2TG engine. Looks a little suspect 'cos the engine bay piping is not normal for that series engine and model.
This model, judging by the "5 speed" badge just under the left-side reverse lights makes it a mid/late 1974 (or later) version. Prior to that there wasn't such a badge.
The TA27/RA25 series are JDM only vehicles and were manufactured from 1973 to 1975, then came the RA28.
The 1973 to mid/late 1974 versions had the running script "Celica" badge on the side and no badging with "5 Speed" or "EFI" on the rear like this one does. Also, the mid/late 1974 models had the side "Celica" badge in block script.
This car is missing the honeycomb ST/GT grille which is a shame and the rear foil bolted to the back of the car is a bit ordinary. The car already has the aerodynamics at the rear with out ricing it with this sort of shit.
The fender mirrors are non-standard. The original fender mirrors are silver/grey in colour and round in shape.
I'm trying to figure out what happened to the exhaust pipe. It should be sticking out at the left rear, but I don't see anything.
Now, if you want to see a hellaciously fine example of a 1973 RA25, GT version, check out http://www.classic-celica.com/modules.php?set_albu mName=ra25aus&op=modload&name=gallery& file=index&include=view_album.php
This RA25 has now been fitted with original JDM fender mirrors but no photos have been taken yet. I'll get them done asap.
Prior to the TA27/RA25 series was the SV-1 prototype liftback, of which you can search on the net and see a fine example of one in the Toyota museum. The TA27/RA25 series were the first production version of the Celica liftback.
