Hey, @Larry Chen, I was wondering if you could get a 1970 Toyota Celica 2000 GT and stuff in either a 4.5 L V8 3UZ-FE engine or a 5.7 L V8 3UR-FE with a heavily modified Magnuson superhcarger kit under the hood, as well as all of the changes to make it as powerful as its NASCAR-spec engine that was (and possibly still is) used in the Toyota Camry, please? Alternatively, could you please stuff a heavily modified Nissan V8 powered 5.6 L VK56DE engine that is a hybrid of the one that has been used in the Nissan GT-R GT1, and the one that has been used in the Australian V8 Supercrars Racing series spec version of the Nissan Altima, under the hood of the 1970 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Hatsuoka, the 1970 Datsun 240Z/1970 Nissan Fairlady Z, the 1972 Nissan Sunny 1200 GX-5, the 1973 Datsun Laurel 200L, or a 1972 Nissan Cedric 2000GL? Thank you.

My bro had a 70 celica as his 1st car. RIP big bro

My 1st car is a 72, then a 71 and a 75, I still have the 71. They were economy sports cars with a 68 Camaro look. Too bat Toyota didn't put a better motor in the 1st gen. Sorry to hear about your bro.

The faded paint effect is so cool just like the rest of the car

Saw this at the show. I have a 73 with the 22r and loved talking to him about them.

My dad & I test drove this exact same model when new but he ended up buying a Datsun 510 instead. Gorgeous execution on this Celica!

Larry Chen is quickly becoming my favourite KZread presenter. Such incredible videos. Constantly cool content and fantastic interview technique. Keep up the great work!

Real nice. Excellent workmanship. Glad to see Celica's getting a little recognition. I have had many Toyotas over the decades. I still have my first one purchased in 75. It is the 1975 Celica Coupe St with 43,000 mi. On it. AZ car until 2006. I drive it every couple weeks but it mostly stays in the hanger. I also have my 76 GT liftback. It has over 700,000 mi. It's last engine upgrade was a V12 from a Toyota century. Mild engine work it's putting out around 550 very reliable streetable HP And I still have my 80 Hilux long bed 4 x 4. It has a stroked stage 3 22r 5 speed and Marlin crawler. With 529 gears on 40 in tall tires with 9 in of lift. I purchased all these new. And I had many others in between as well. Some I wish I still had. I do have a 43 Willys with a 22R in it also.

Love this! My father had both a 72 st, and then a 73 gt celica! Your build brings back memories, and i love it!

Absolutely love this build, also glad to see all the Canadians in the comments. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I love how well it's put together. Such a beautiful car.

Amazing that they're STILL finding these old Celicas. I still have my 71 fully intact and you just don't see them around any more.

That is delicious... love the JDM/GM mash up. Also like the tip of the hat to the 70's style. I also really like that it is not an over the top finish for SEMA, there are parts of this that actually look attainable for all us average folks :)

This was so great. I remember these Celicas when they were out there in masses.

This car is right from my home town, JH Restorations did an amazing job with this build! Hopefully I'll see it around this summer!

This is one of the coolest builds of the year!

I've got two 1973 and two 1975 Toyota Celica's I'm working on. I'm trying to make two drivers out of the four cars. They are one of the hardest cars to find parts for, from where I live. I love this build so much!

You got that right parts are rare. Good glasses is difficult. I only drive the 75 about two miles every other week. Otherwise it lives in the hanger. It only has 43,000 mi. The 76 GT lift back has over 700,000 mi. Instrument panel was cracked all around the gauges. Couldn't find one so I recast it in fiberglass and then did wood veneer. I put a subframe under the whole car. And it has Mustang control arms spindles and hubs. A 8-inch narrowed rear end. Yeah I put tubs in it. But I still fiberglassed nice flares. They come straight down forming a mud flap like the old vans did. but with a smoother transition from the flare to the body making it all one piece. Did that to the front also and it's molded into the front spoiler It now has the century V12 with Six-speed. I only did mild engine work to it although these engines have been known to put out 1500 + hp. That car had been through hell! I used to drift with it throughout the 80s. 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️

I love the way they've kept the aged patina and enhanced its longevity with the satin clear and old graphics. So brilliant. Definitely my idea of a weekend club car would be something looking underwhelming but QUICK

Awesome seeing someone from my neck of the woods, Ontario 🇨🇦. Really cool car, patina looks great

I would put that in one of my top ten cars to own . You just made one of my favorite cars perfect

I remember seeing Kevin’s S30 years ago and thinking it couldn’t get better than that. This car is perfect in every way. Incredible work dude.

When I was 15 my first car was a 1972 Celica st lowrider with 3" flared fenders, deep dish turbine mags with Dunlop GT Qualifiers. Quickor suspension mods. Powered by an 18 RU with a 4 speed transmission. It could hang 90* turns at 55 all day long.

Sweet ride, not to far away from where I live. Might see it some day.

Love the plaid interior! Great work

Great work Kev! :D

windsor - niice. im from around there. Chatham home of world renowned RM Restorations - very surprised they don't get more appearances in stuff tho i think they mostly focus around Barret Jackson auction. not long ago they auctioned a restored Ferrari for 26 million bucks, NA record i believe still

Love the concept. The interior looks great, but I worry he'll need bigger seat bolsters if he's going to do any serious cornering.

I had 12 of these during my early years of driving, love these cars!...always wanted to stuff a v8 into it, but never did.....made one into a convertible though! It looked great!....too bad you don't hear the car run in this video... :-(

Thank you this a very cool Celica!!!

As someone from Tacoma we're gonna need that back

Thanks. There's a TA22 sitting in my shed under a cover just waiting for inspiration.

Westfalia plaid, love it!

Once I'm finished putting my drag car together I'd love to build a modern street car version of this with a 2000ish Celica, a 5.3 ls, and a tremec 5 spd. Put some quiet mufflers on it and she'd probably be a little bit of a sleeper.

That looks so damn good! I still want a first gen TA22 Celica, or build a custom one from the ground up, completely modernized, with an old school feel. Should I?🤔

I live in Tacoma WA. Congrats on finding a Celica with a usable body! Most of the ones I see are rusted out.

Allegro in burnt orange ..a beast.

Yes and yes. 👍 put the motor you want in your build.

@Pat Ball sorry bud that's incorrect. I'm actually building a 1uzfe 32valve dohc 4.0 liter from a 00 gs400 in my 77 Toyota Celica liftback . And there's actually a lot more clearance than you think minus the room for headers with the steering gearbox. Which is why we convert to a rack and pinion. His engine with that intake and crazy manifolds didn't fit at all they even ran exhaust through the body. My exhaust will exit downward and out the back of the car like normal
