Recently sourced and supplied to one of our Personal Import customers, this Celica is truly special. With distinctive features like its fastback profile and long bonnet, this Toyota takes styling inspiration from American muscle cars of its era, standing out from other JDM models.
The 1976 Toyota Celica Liftback GT was part of the first-generation Celica lineup, blending sporty style with just enough performance to make it an exciting, affordable alternative to American muscle cars. It was heavily influenced by the Ford Mustang's design but carried the reliability and precision that Toyota was known for.
The Liftback GT features a sleek fastback profile with a long hood and short rear deck — classic muscle car proportions, scaled down to a compact size. Unique "GT" badging and sporty details, like trim bits behind each rear-quarter window and pronounced fenders, add to the Celica's sporty appeal. Rectangular taillights and a hatchback trunk make it both stylish and practical. The liftback design provides more cargo space than a traditional coupe, making it versatile for road trips or hauling gear.
If you’re lucky enough to find a well-preserved '76 Celica Liftback GT, you’re looking at a piece of Toyota history.
