In this Larry Chen video, we delve into the world of a 1971 Celica St transformed into a street-legal race car that pays homage to the iconic Dukes of Hazard. The car's striking flame red color, reminiscent of the General Lee, sets the tone for a unique build that combines power and style. Under the hood lies a 2JZ engine, custom intercooler, and rare Japanese road racing headlight covers, showcasing a blend of performance and heritage. The modified chassis and weight balance adjustments ensure a thrilling driving experience, promising 680 horsepower in a 2100 lb car - a recipe for pure excitement on the road.

Inside, the minimalist yet purposeful interior features a Japanese shift knob, roll cage for safety, and custom suede seats meticulously crafted for both comfort and aesthetics. The attention to detail extends to the car's exterior, with original lights and bumpers restored to their former glory, complemented by Ground Control coilovers and AE86 front suspension for a smooth ride. The owner's vision for the Celica as a street-legal race car is brought to life through the team's expertise in building unique Toyotas, evident in every aspect of the vehicle's design and performance.

Larry Chen's admiration for the Celica build shines through as he praises the team's ability to balance simplicity and beauty in creating a standout vehicle. The fusion of classic design elements with modern performance upgrades results in a car that not only looks stunning but promises an exhilarating driving experience. From the custom intercooler to the rebarreled Long Champ wheels, every detail of the Celica reflects a deep passion for automotive craftsmanship and innovation. The video captures the essence of automotive artistry, showcasing how a classic car can be transformed into a street-legal race car that embodies both style and speed.
