About the 1986 Toyota Celica
The fourth-generation Celica marked Toyota's bold departure from angular 80s design, introducing flowing curves that would define the nameplate's golden era. Built on the new ST162 platform, these cars delivered genuine sports car dynamics with MacPherson struts up front and a sophisticated multi-link rear setup. The naturally aspirated 3S-GE twin-cam four-cylinder produced 130hp in base trim, while the optional All-Trac system brought rally-bred AWD technology to the street. What makes these particularly collectible is their role as the last 'pure' Celicas before the platform grew larger and softer. Clean examples are increasingly rare, especially the lightweight rear-drive variants that offer an authentic analog driving experience. The ST162's perfect proportions and mechanical simplicity make it a compelling alternative to period German rivals, with Toyota reliability as a bonus. Values have been climbing steadily as enthusiasts rediscover these underappreciated gems from Toyota's sporting prime.
