Left turn signal stopped operating.
Driver's side window stopped rolling down.
Hatchback stopped opening.
Transmission slowly failed, one gear at a time. Eventually I could only drive (illegally!) in reverse.
This car was certainly worth the $300 I spent for it, however, I wouldn't recommend driving it in reverse 12 miles to work. :)
I had a 86 celebirty. bought it at 55,000 it ran to over 300,000 miles and the only repair I EVER has to do was replace the fuel censor. THAT WAS ALL. the best car I have ever had. it now rests in peace in the local junk yard. This car was unbelievable in its stamina.
Does anyone know where I can get a newer Celebrity? My Daisy has well over a million miles, and I don't care for any of the newer cars for many reasons, especially owner serviceability (or lack of it). I have been hit on all five sides (the moose hit the top of the hood), and I feel funny when in Florida with all of the newer cars with better bodies, but I still would like to have a newer Celebrity. I prefer carburetor, Eurosport, 4-door, and I can drive anywhere in the U.S. or Canada with Daisy to pick one up.
