*brndck* · 12-18-2007, 02:19 PM

**S13SilviaGirl** · 12-18-2007, 02:26 PM

????????? What is the question/point?

eastcoastS14 · 12-18-2007, 02:28 PM

i think he's asking if there really was a supersnake edition

Matej · 12-18-2007, 02:40 PM

Ehh, there was a "Super Snake" Mustang that was out at about the same time, and it looked similar to the Celica, check if they're Mustang seats.

muddafakka · 12-18-2007, 02:43 PM

No such thing.

KA-T_240 · 12-18-2007, 02:58 PM

He is wondering if anyone on here knows anything about old-school celicas. And, if there actaully is some sort of snake/supersnake edition.

We are going to look at the car sometime soon. But I have been assurred its a 73 celica

DUFFM4N · 12-18-2007, 03:52 PM

a quick google search only brought up mustangs

20 til 3 · 12-18-2007, 04:28 PM

yeah i know... thats whats so weird... its ka-t_240's roommate that has the car... i guess i'll just have to wait for him to go home over x-mas
either way... i should be pickin it up

i just know that almost all models of cars that were modded at dealerships in the early 70's... but really wernt noticed as factory cars(baldwin motion, shelby, stuff like that)... idk i'm just trying to figure out what else would be different with the car(idk if it would have exhaust, itc's,wheels... who knows)

PRADOgy · 12-18-2007, 04:31 PM

club4ag.com may be able to help with this one

.. i got lost as soon as you wrote pep-boys

KA-T_240 · 12-18-2007, 05:00 PM

ya, my roomate is HUGE ricer college dorms FTL! . He knows the names of classic cars, thats about it, I could see him mistaking a celica for a mustang..... LOL! Even though he supposedly does body work and all that shit.

eastcoastS14 · 12-18-2007, 09:41 PM

yeah I could see where he could make the mistake....pretty similar especially if no emblems

'
LOL I would love to see a kid staring at a mustang "thats and old skool celica d00d!!!!" lol

origin_s135 · 12-18-2007, 10:34 PM

my friend had one of these. but he also had a wrx wagon also, the dumb ass sold the celica for 1k. but anyway, try wikipedia?

Agamemnon · 12-19-2007, 12:39 AM

As a self described 1st gen Celica expert, I can safely say that there is no such thing as a "supersnake" edition. The only real dealership alterations that were made was the limited "Tiger" package in the 76-77 liftback models. That was only a decal package and had no real performance value at all.

And I dont think you can mistake a 73 for a mustang. Toyota made the liftback in 76/77. The liftback was the Celica that doubled as a mini stang.

1973 Celica coupe

1976/77 Celica Liftback

1967 Mustang

20 til 3 · 12-19-2007, 01:13 PM

yeah, i know that if he was saying it was a 77 liftback it would be a stang... but he says its a 73 coupe?... so idk what to say... still waiting i guess for the pics so yeah

your a celica guy huh?... how much you know about doing swaps with them?... classic-celica really isnt helping me much at all so idk where else to really look

JoeC1982 · 12-19-2007, 01:31 PM

that 73 is pimp, i'd love to have that or an old datsun 510.

IIIXziuR · 12-19-2007, 02:37 PM

I'm guessing someone said this since Carol Shelby did Race/Headed a race team for Toyota in the 70s?

I don't remember him ever releasing a special "tuned" edition of that model though.

I know a lot about swaps. You can shoehorn just about anything in the engine bay. Just like Zilvia, Classic-Celica.com has a lot of info buried within it. You just have to get around the qwerks of the search engine and look around.
