In 1980 Toyota launched a sedan Celica variant and called it the Celica Camry but in essence it was a face-lifted luxurious version of the Carina A40. In some countries it was simply called Toyota Camry and separated two years later into a FWD upmarket sedan and liftback.

But the first generation was still one of the most awesome mid-size sedans made by Toyota because of its engines and optional IRS. The first generation had a GT version of the Celica Camry featuring the 2 liter 18R-GEU DOHC engine (head by Yamaha) with an output of 135hp and nowadays this is the most sought after Celica/Carina of its generation. Imagine how rare this immaculate Celica Camry is:

Super rare Toyota Celica Camry
This picture was taken at the Showa Meeting Ver.2 held in November last year.

Found at [Showa Meeting @ Minkara]

In one of the Showa Meeting galleries I found a couple of Nissan GloriasCedric Y30s where one licenseplate stated it was Moon Equipped, but I surely had to disagree:

Skull Equipped Cedric Y30
Yes, it is more Skull Equipped than Moon Equipped!

Here is a closeup of that grille:
More skulls after the jump!

I found a couple of meeting pictures of the so called Showa Meeting Vol 1 (2010) which, obviously, is a meeting focussed on all automotive cars from the Showa era. Since the emperor died in 1989 the range of cars is obviously very wide, including a couple of early 80s Carinas!

Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 at Showa Meeting Vol 1
This white AA63 Carina GT-R has a mismatched front grille. The grille was taken from a late type car and the Road Runner II badge was taken from a lower spec Carina. Apart from that it looks awesome sitting that low on those wats!

This Carina GT-R looked a bit less awesome:
