A member of the AtariAge forum is selling his 1995 model Toyota Celica GT, one of the automobiles featured in the video game Sega Rally Championship. Judging from the pictures, it's in fantastic shape for a fifteen year old car, with much work done on the body to keep it in tip-top quality. There are even a few modern amenities, like a touch screen GPS that's the next best thing to a passenger barking "Hard right! Easy left!" in your ears before every turn. It's hard to say if this machine is street legal, but if you spent any time playing Sega Rally Championship during the Saturn's brief glory days, you're sure to agree that it's damn awesome.
The auction for the Toyota Celica GT has started at $2500, with the reserve price expected to be twice that amount. It's a small price to pay for driving and retro gaming excellence.
I've actually dreamed about owning a Celica like that, and unfortunately, I'm just going to have to keep dreaming.
ReplyDeleteSigh... I think I'll go play some Sega Rally now...
My favourite car from Sega Rally =)
ReplyDeleteNowadays I'm spoiled, I'm more into the Subaru Impreza WRX or the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, but a classic's a classic
I've always wanted that car! It was a serious WRC contender back in the mid 90's. There's some picture floating around the web that has like 10 of these cars all parked next to each other....like the entire Toyota WRC team.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one satnav for a car like that- a Saturn Navi! ;)
