A long, long time ago in a galaxy called Hollywood, Twentieth Century Fox decided to promote a crazy little sci-fi movie called "Star Wars" by giving away this custom-painted Toyota Celica. Now the Empire wants to know: Have you seen this car?

According to the official Star Wars blog, this Celica GT Liftback, the first Star Wars art car, hasn't been seen since it was handed off in January 1978. Neither the delivering dealership, the winner's name nor the vehicle's VIN number was recorded, and despite extensive searching, nothing's been found so far.

Fortunately, Lord Vader has other vehicles to content himself with for the moment.
