The 1977 Toyota Celica saw no significant changes from the previous year, when the hatchback was introduced to the lineup.
Both the coupe and the hatchback were available in the GT trim level, which offered sporty handling, upgrading interior finishes, and distinguishing body features like racing stripes and chrome-trimmed wheels. The coupe also came as the base-level ST. The 1977 Celica had a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine.
The 1977 Toyota Celica was popular because it offered a solid, dependable ride with sporty looks. Some drivers have complained that the GT, with its wider tires, can be difficult to steer when combined with no power steering and rear-wheel drive.
What owners say
"Overall, reviews of the 1977 Toyota Celica are quite positive, with many owners expressing deep affection for its classic styling and reliable performance. Many drivers appreciate its great handling and bulletproof engines, often referring to it as a joy to drive. However, some reviewers have noted that it can be prone to mechanical issues and that finding parts can be a challenge due to its age. The nostalgia and connection owners feel toward this car are strong, often celebrating it as a cherished member of their family."
I've owned this car since it was new in 1977 and I have always loved it. There are very few around anymore. I always liked the styling which is similar to the fastback Mustang. This car is all original except for the aluminum rim upgrade that I switched from a 1979 Toyota Celica coupe that I also owned.
September 24, 2010the car is awesome always gets looks and strikes up conversations as well as a joy to drive only catch is parts can be hard to find but thats what you get driving an old car also its old school jdm
September 28, 2012I owned three Toyota Celicas, all 1977 and '78 models, back in the mid-80's, and all three were lemons. One problem after another. I'll never but another Toyota, unless maybe a pick-up truck. The trucks are supposed to be good.
