There was an RA28 Celica for sale in the Classic Car NZ magazine this month... $28,000nz.

Its probably one of the few that are for sale at the moment.

I'm certain that belongs to a guy in Wellington and I would say good luck getting him to sell it because when I talked to him last year he said he had only just finished restoring it and he was very very happy spoke with alot of enthusiasm about it hahaha he was at the performance car meet when NZPC came down last year and everyone met up out Lyall Bay warehouse
