Default Picked up this beauty a couple weeks ago! PICS
Found this 1997 Celica GT at a local dealer, and I was amazed on how perfect this car still is, yeah it does have a couple scratches here and there but other than that this car is almost mint...Everything is stock besides the Alpine reciever. So...I bought it!!! WOOO!
