The third-generation A60 Celica, sold from 1981 to 1985, marked a dramatic styling shift with its sharp, wedge-shaped body and pop-up headlights. Available as a coupe or liftback, it shared its platform with the more powerful Celica Supra. The most desirable models are the GT-S variants, which featured fender flares, an independent rear suspension, and sportier interior appointments.
Collectors appreciate the A60 for its quintessential 80s styling and its status as the last rear-wheel-drive Celica. This platform offers a classic front-engine, rear-drive experience that was lost when the Celica switched to front-wheel drive in 1986. The legendary reliability of the 22R and 22R-E engines, combined with a strong enthusiast community, makes ownership approachable and enjoyable.
The market for the A60 Celica is broad, with an average sale price around $12,700. While project cars can be found for just a few thousand dollars, pristine, low-mileage examples, especially GT-S models, have sold for over $44,000. These top sales prove a growing appreciation for well-preserved examples of this 80s Japanese sports coupe.
Prices range from around $1,000 for project cars to over $44,000 for concours-quality examples.
