Juan brought over his 1974 Toyota Celica that he decided to LS swap! Not only did he throw a V8 in this tiny little JDM car but he also added on a vortech supercharger... So sit back and enjoy the ride!

I’m grateful and honored to be part of the Autotopia experience. Most importantly I’m proud of our team and their hard work & efforts. Juan is truly one of a kind and his hand built Celica is out of this world!! What an inspiration. 👏 🔥

@AutotopiaLA 11 дней назад

Your reactions on the ride along is hilarious brother!!

@popeye089 11 дней назад

This is what car culture is about. Building something you like, your way, and for you. Love it

@AutotopiaLA 11 дней назад

Totally agree

@jaymeramirez7435 12 дней назад

Almost every car that was built in the backyard or home garage is absolutely my favorite episodes. I mean it. The episodes with the super rich shop owners or just the wealthy gear head who had it built….. meh. Money buys ALL OF THAT. But for one dude to overbuild such an awesome car. His own way….. man. So inspiring

@simonmenzies3142 11 дней назад

Agree, I mean those ruffian cars are cool. Because I feel they have the same vide. It just so happens the fella has a ton of money, so the choice of cars and level of finish is higher up the scale. But the super high end 1000hp trucks and muscle cars are a yawn to me compared to these builds. Sadly those same old muscle cars/trucks get double the views for Shawn compared to these.

@skxj 11 дней назад

I'm going to agree as well, I find way more inspiration from these backyard, home garage builds the have more passion and the owners hard work in them than a pile of money. Now I'm not saying nobody worked hard on the high dollar builds but it's not the same if you screw something up with an unlimited budget. Id rather see builds like this instead of $400,000 call and place your order cars. Just my 3 cents...

Noticed the license plate immediately and chuckled, knowing what was lurking beneath the hood. I love everything about this build and the fact that his Mom had the same make, model, and year. The body style from this decade is etched in our memories and this backyard build is amazing! Juan, rock on, brother! Thanks for this one, Shawn.

@musclecarczarig4003 11 дней назад

Epsilons were the baller wheels of the 80's! That build is mental and awesome at the same time, built by a madman!

Autotopia LA bringing the fckin' noise!! Lovin' all the non-US domestic stuff you show off man. That Volvo Wags, the Audi R8, the VW bus, E30 BMW and now the RA Celica. Such a long list of sick cars. You're the man, man.

@LandcruiserAdventures 12 дней назад

Its so refreshing to see a home built piece of weaponry, this is what car building is supposed to be about.

@anvilauto6493 12 дней назад

Always liked the look of these cars, but they weren't great performers (not much was in 1974), but dropping a V8 in one is not only genius, but a heck of a lot of work! Great job! Love it!😍

I must say the sound mixing on all your videos are really good, especially when driving. We always hear the engine whatever shot it is in. Really appreciate the the effort.

@sparkythedetroitdoggo8281 12 дней назад

Funny how the front end resembles my 70 Torino . @1:20 . Only more narrow . Maybe that's why I always liked them . Is one badass ride !

@user-ef3hf1et3t 12 дней назад

I remember working on one with the 4 cylinder 5 Spd, in 82, I was 20. those cars were a blast to drive stock. My brother in-law had a 1972 Nissan 240 Z, he has a cam, Webbers and headers, that straight 6 came alive. This is a very cool build. a go cart with license plates.

@DavidNeyens 12 дней назад

No, THANK YOU! Simply awesome. I felt like I’m riding along.

My Dad bought one of those SR - 5 Celicas in 74 .. Just got my license and my 66 GTO was always Broke .. Put 50 k on that little Toy in one year .. But Not Like That !! Love The Plate !!

@2kanchoo 12 дней назад

What a cool little ripper. That'd be fun as hell to drive and way better built drivetrain than I was expecting.

@jessebrown1400 12 дней назад

RestoMod+, love the old retro stuff, it just looks better than modern. That drivetrain setup is super impressive and that man is a very skilled artisan and built something that I would expect would take many different brains to accomplish and yet he proves otherwise.

@jimk7882 12 дней назад

I'd have to say this is one of my favorite vids too Shawn. Love the out of the box type builds and this one looks to be well engineered too.

@JohnIn2SonAZ 12 дней назад

By far this is the coolest car that has been on your show to date! Beautiful work!

@BvDyck101 11 дней назад

whats also cool is that this body-style Celica reminds me of a 68' Camaro. It also has a Fastback body-style and that reminds me of a Fastback Mustang. Both styles of this car looks good.

@AutotopiaLA 11 дней назад

They definitely grabbed from American muscle if the day

@brandonsmith3782 5 дней назад

Ive wanted one of these cars for about the last 15 years. There was a guy in Jacksonville Fl that had one. It had a wide body done and lowered, but didnt have 700hp. This only makes me want one even more.

My first car was a 72 Celica ST. Loved that car. The 2.0L motors were torquey little things. Side note: 71 was the first year for Celica's not 72. I actually had a chance to buy an original 71 when I was in college. Guy that owned it, his son worked for Toyota US. He told me that the 71s didnt have caster adjustments in the front end.

CAmeras usually dont give a good indication of acclerating. This...holy cow. Rode in teh backseat of one back in Jr High Dad bought it for his daughter. Things change indeed! Best part of this build being in Ca is its smog exempt!!

"They make nothing for these cars" and "Why the hell build THIS car?" Lol I totally feel that with my build.

@robertburton8055 4 дня назад

As I get older and see more and more swaps I have begun to gravitate towards the mindset of attempting to keep drivetrains in the same vein as the original…. That would be 10x cooler with a 1jz or even a Lexus V8. I’ve seen that exact same set up in I can’t even remember how many different cars literally thousands

Now that’s a cool ride! A friend had one as his first car way back in high school days (minus the LS obviously) and always regretted selling it.

@C-M-E 11 дней назад

That car is an absolute vision! Personally I adore the '75-77 cars, but it's not exactly an easy to find car to begin with. The last one I saw around here was a hatchback (the MiniStang model) with a 2J shoehorned under the hood and I was frothing at the mouth to catch up to the guy in traffic, and that was like six years ago sometime around when Goodguys was in town.
