Hi everyone, I buy and sell cars and motorcycles occasionally to fund restoring my own cars and I just made a great find. I want to do the best I can selling it although it’s a great car and there’s a chance I may keep it.
It's a 1973 Toyota Celica. I bought it from the original owner last week. She had it repainted (original color) in 1992 because "it was faded a little". No accidents, no rust. She then put it in her garage, under a car cover and never drove it again! The only significant wear is the cloth inserts on two of the seats. I know I'm not touching anything to alter its originality. I’m looking for two things. One is to establish its value, the other is to find its best market if I sell. I know it loses a bit of value being an ST rather than a GT, being automatic, and having been repainted but it can still demand a premium price.
Any help or opinions would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Colin.
