1971 Toyota Celica Preview summaryImage

The Toyota Celica was introduced to the U.S. market for the 1971 model year. Toyota marketed the car to consumers who wanted a solid, dependable vehicle but also wanted something more exciting than the Corolla. The Celica was Toyota's first mass-produced car that valued looks and driver enjoyment as much as quality and value.

The 1971 Celica was available only as the ST coupe and had a four-cylinder, 1.9-liter engine.

The 1971 Celica's sporty, sleek look proved popular with buyers, and the vehicle was considered a success. Drivers found it fun to drive, while at the same time appreciating its reliability and quality. Now first-generation Celicas are collectible, with many enthusiasts adding their own customized touches.

I love this car. It was my very first car that I bought brand new. I went on many ski trips with this car when i lived in Colorado. I would take three other people besides myself to the mountains with four sets of downhill skis and four sets of cross country skis and sixteen ski poles. All the skis and poles were on the roof top ski rack. All of our ski boots extra clothing for the trip was in the trunk. That was before I put the big sound system in. The Celica performed so well in the mountains and we never even put tire chains on the car. I wish I had bought a dozen of these cars. This has been the most trouble free car I've ever owned and I've had a lot of car over the years.Apr 06, 2015

This was my first new car, it was a head turner and it preformed well. At 3 years old with just under 50,000 miles the unibody crumbled under its own weight when jacked up to rotate the tires. An after dark trade in got me a new Chevy!Nov 01, 2009
