This Toyota Celica is the 5th car Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu has added to his collection, indicating his passion for collecting unique and rare JDM cars, including the iconic Toyota Celica.
Which generation does this car belong to?
By examining the car’s design, especially the headlights and taillights, it is evident that this is a first-generation Toyota Celica, produced from 1970 to 1977, with two variants, A20 and A30.
During this generation, the design of the Toyota Celica was considered daring and adventurous, on par with its contemporary, the Ford Mustang. With the LT logo at the rear, this car is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine and a 5-speed manual transmission.
The interesting features of this car
Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu already owned a first-generation Toyota Celica previously, making this his second one. The key difference lies in the transmission.

On the side profile, the first-generation Toyota Celica boasts flared rear wheel arches that curve towards the tail of the car, adding a touch of sensuality. The chrome Celica logo is positioned in front of the rear wheels, and the car is equipped with customized shiny chrome rims with small spoke designs.
At the rear, the car features rectangular taillights and chrome accents. It has a shiny stainless steel rear bumper and a pair of powerful round exhaust pipes. The car is also adorned with an LT2000 badge to signify the model.
As mentioned earlier, the notable difference in this article’s Toyota Celica is the use of a manual transmission, which is evident when you open the door and step into the driver’s compartment. The seats are adorned in black leather with several original details.
Of course, “Qua” Vu’s team has added a cup holder and an ashtray for his convenience while driving. The center control panel stands out with 5 almost fully extended screens and a fan. The large steering wheel stays true to the vintage style of the car.
Under the hood of Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu’s Toyota Celica is a 2T 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters, produced from 1970 to 1984. The cylinder bore and stroke measure 85 mm × 70 mm. The 2T engine is typically paired with a T40 4-speed/T50 5-speed manual transmission or an A40 3-speed automatic transmission.
The early 2T-C big port design generates an output power of 102 horsepower, while the later version produces 75 horsepower at 5200 rpm with a maximum torque of 116 Nm at 3,800 rpm.
