What is a 1987 Toyota Celica Convertible worth today?

About the 1987 Toyota Celica Convertible

The third-generation Celica convertible represents Toyota's brief flirtation with open-top motoring during the late 1980s. Built exclusively by American Sunroof Corporation (ASC) in California, these factory-authorized conversions transformed the angular ST162 coupe into a surprisingly rigid drop-top. The 2.0-liter twin-cam 3S-GE four-cylinder delivered 130 horsepower through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic, making it more about style than outright performance. Production lasted just three model years, with roughly 4,000 units built total, making these among the rarest modern Celicas. The convertible's distinctive power soft top and integrated roll bar give it a unique profile that stands apart from its coupe siblings. While not particularly fast, clean examples are increasingly sought after by Japanese car enthusiasts who appreciate their rarity and the novelty of an open-air Toyota sports car from this era.
