Window Louvers Aren't Enough To Save This 1976 Toyota Celica ST
Remember window louvers? They were sort of terrible, yet it’s still interesting to see them on a quasi-sporty Malaise Era car. This Celica ST’s louvers will soon be ground up and digested by The Crusher.
It’s sad to see another 20R about to get crushed. These engines should be immortal!

That's too bad-the hardest 70s Celica to find is one that isn't a pile of reddish colored dust. This one should have been saved...
20R. Exhaust manifold cracked--- check 20R.
