Since today is the unofficial holiday for Star Wars fans around the world, we felt compelled to post the 1977 Star Wars promo Toyota Celica Liftback. The car was given away in a contest at the launch of the original movie that started it all, but has disappeared from the public eye over the years. It seems that any record of the winner was later destroyed and they lost track of the car. We are currently looking into the status of the search for the car and will update you with details as soon as they are available.

May the 4th be with you.
I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention the Toyota GB guys posting about this: http://blog.toyota.co.uk/help-find-this-star-wars-celica-you-must
That was a few years ago. We are verifying if it was ever found or if anyone had a lead on it.
I was contacted by some body shop guys in CA about purchasing my RA29. They initially got ahold of me to see if it was the original (it is not, it’s brown/repainted black). They were trying to have a replica Star Wars Celica built for Episode 8 this year. Displeased with the color and current condition of my Celica, they eventually just bought the wheels off of me.
