Restomod 1977 Toyota Celica meets Honda S2000 engine!

Reading time 3 Min.

It can only be seen as a small revelation in the realm of Restomods can be described: A 1977 Toyota Celica with a wild engine – namely one Honda S2000 engine – surrounded by one Midnight Purple III Paintwork from Nissan. You look at the unique piece and the color alone takes you on a journey, because the play of colors changes between purple, orange and other shades depending on the viewing angle. But if we take a look under the hood, there is not just an OEM S2000 engine, no, it is a modified jewel that comes with 48mm Jenvey throttle body, J's Racing manifold and a Koyo aluminum cooler is equipped to ensure that everything stays cool.

And if we take a closer look, we can see that valve cover flashes with rainbow titanium embellishments. But stop, it's not just about looks and performance. The interior of the Celica was designed with an equally successful attention to detail. With Bride Stradia Venus II Maziora Edition Sports seating, coupled with Takata Gurten and a lavish use of suede on the dashboard, door panels and rear seats, the cabin is just as successful. The driver also has full control with a new one shift knob, Steering wheel and Pedals, all of NRG, combined with an original Honda S2000 speedometer.

Now it's waiting BringATrailer on a highest bidder to find a new place in a collection or – and we all hope so – to show what he can do on the street. So here we have it - a mixture of classics, power and taste that not only makes the hearts of classic car fans beat faster.
