Well, maybe I have a Celica byass, but get itt

Those 22r's are damn near bulletproof. They're pretty damn sweet cars, go for it.

He said 2.2 liter, not 22R. 22R's are not 2.2 liter displacement. n00b!

My sister bought her car off of eBay... shipped it up to PA from Florida, turned out to be a heck of a deal for her!

22R's came in Celica's, too - but not in '79, and they are 2.4 liters.

I just hope the seller wont flake... when you have a good deal on ebay it always finish with: i have sold the car locally 1 minute before the auction end, or , it got stole or even worse, my dog ate it

We bought our 70 Dart of ebay out of Montreal. No problems, picked it up with the trailer a few weeks after the deal.

i sold my last totaled Z on ebay for like 3300? i only wanted 1500 lol, and the dude came from LA to oakland to pick it up, i was like damn, and i kept all my goodies, exhaust, ecu, intake, boost controller. id say, ASK alot of questions, cuz i kinda felt bad for the dude since the car was hit pretty badly and wouldnt go into gear with the car on.
