"Biafra has owned this vehicle since 1995 and it boosts impeccable punk rock credentials, according to the post about the auction of the car on Hemmings.com. As Jello's daily driver for decades, this T160-generation shows over 212,000 miles on its odometer, the post reads. 'Displaying its battle scars proudly,' the sporty convertible runs, rides, starts and stops top notch,' according to a friend assisting Jello with the auction listing. Additionally, the friend notes that the Celica passes the notorious California smog test with flying colors.'"
"The Toyota has reportedly been maintained with no expenses spared. Aesthetics were left to accumulate a natural punk rock patina that can only be gained on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area.' Jello used the Celica's stereo system to listen to a great many punk band hopefuls from around the world who sent in demo tapes, the post reads. That's all nice and good. But how much will this ride cost you?"
